Skyscraper scale models out of soda cans
Hi guys,
Saw some awesome creations and just wanted to share what i have been working on for the past 12 months or so. My daughter, being a mega fan of scyscrapers, asked me to build a Highrise-Replica for her, and this sort of far-fetched undertaking is already almost in the last lap of its Race-to-the Skies :) Made entirely out of 0.330 ml Soda cans ( glued and soon to be completely covered in silver-metallic paint, as the small bottom parts suggests ). So here it is - The Burj Khalifa at a scale of 1:80 which would be only just the beginning of an i-will-do-this-my-whole-life project i have named "Skyscraper Can City". Once finished it would rise up to 10.36 meters, or just short of 34 feet. Current height at 4.27 meters ( or exactly 15 feet ) The one on the left side is what i have managed to stack together - the right side is it would have looked like ( thanks Photoshop), shall i have managed to put the building blocks all togehter, which is unfortunatelly currently impossible because of its sheer height and the lack of a higher ladder... Still it gives a nice impression on current construction status:P Hope you enjoy it - current Can Count is at 3481, just 790 more to go :notacrook: https://i.imgur.com/m0yKHpcl.jpg And from another angle: https://i.imgur.com/hK8lZ8Nl.jpg :cheers::cheers::cheers: |
I have to say, that is awesome. Welcome to the forum.
Someone needs to get you some scaffolding to finish it. |
Thanks HomeInMyShoes :tup:
I will most certanly get one, at the latest when all building blocks are completed, which i expect to happen in the next 2 to 3 months :cool: And here the night version ( it is a bit old pic from the time it still fitted in my garage ), cause it looks so spacy. https://i.imgur.com/F0bDOZgl.png https://i.imgur.com/GFddPQYl.png Next stop - WTC Twin towers :notacrook: :cheers::cheers::cheers: |
As promised - WTC update :)
North Tower already taller than myself ( at exactly 6 feet ). https://i.imgur.com/UqhLSJ5l.jpg Come the next Update i will have them put side by side with The Burj for a better comparison - this one was taken almost 3 months ago, at WTC's very start :):) https://i.imgur.com/Ayhia6ol.jpg N-joy :):):cheers::cheers::cheers: |
That's a fantastic job, well done!!!
