the Taipei 101 model kit! 71-pieces and for age 6+.
hmmm... are you sure kids 6+ can do this? i actually spent 3 hours assembling & dismantling it because i've got all my sequence wrong.
here's the content of the box - 4 A3-size pre-cut pieces on 2mm thick foam boards with printing on both sides
pushing the parts out from the A3-size boards. see also my el castillo model-making process.
these are the chinese coins that you can find on the 4 faces of the tower.
building up the blocks for the tower. anyway this was a wrong step. normally in model-making, we go from bottom-to-top, as like how the reality is. but for this particular model, i have to go from top-to-bottom so that the side walls (glass panels) can wrap nicely on the floor slabs.
the 101 tower without the bottom. wow~ it was shaking on my table by then. see how amazing the damper baby is!
and the mall, with the 如意 (or some say it's the dragon spine) on the roof. to tell the truth, the mall was more difficult to construct than the tower. but does anybody still remember how the mall looks like beside the tower? worst is does anybody know that there is a mall beside the tower?
the last piece to the model happened to be that insignificant one between the tower & the mall. neat! i guess this model is going to stay sturdy unless somebody's going to step on it.
a comparison of the small one & the real one.
