Leaning Tower of Pisa
« on: April 29, 2013, 08:48:00 am »
Hi,

Anybody knows where to find a 3D pattern for the above?

And if it exists, I guess you need to use special wood due to its round features, any suggestions pls?

Thanks.

How tall does the model need to be?

You could cut it as circles from 1 1/2" lumber (add fretwork frills on the outside) then stack them. The real dimensions look about like 183' tall x  54' wide, with each story about 20' tall. The 1st layer looks like a double height or about 40', so there are 9 stories. Using one thickness of 1.5" lumber per story would make a model 9*1.5" = 13.5" tall, width =  4".

Is that too small? You could double the story to 3", then total height=27", width=8".
