Toddlea's Free model contest #5 - UHU's Tokyo Tower (simple version)

This build is for Toddlea's contest here:

I really don't know if I'm able to finish my other entry ( http://ift.tt/2oDxub8 )
It happens the Princess is much more difficult for my current level that what I initially thought.

As a break from it. I decided to tackle a project with less parts, and entry it to this contest just for fun.


The download:
One of UHU's recent kit (actually, the most recent at the time of writing this lines).
It can be found as a free download here:
UHU's Tokyo Tower (simple)
The PDF files contain parts for the simple version of Tokyo Tower, as well as a very famous kaiju: Mothra.

My intention is to build Tokyo Tower. If time and interest allow it I may or may not build Mothra to add a little charm.
In any case, this is a subforum about architectural models, and the main subject will be the tower.


I printed on white cardstock at double letter size. I enlarged the kit a bit to avoid very small details.







A couple of assistants. They both had a relationship with Tokoyo Tower in their respective animes, so I thought it was just natural to hire them to help.


Powerful wizard Sechiro, and Magic Knight Hikaru approve this project!





Cutting the parts is easy. No need of any magic so far. But a sharp blade is certainly useful.






The main body of the Tower is simple and straightforward.
The fitting is very precise. I made a very small mistake and misaligned one of the faces, and the top is a bit skewed.
I plan on correcting that later on.






So far so good.
Tokyo Tower is taking shape.
It will be twice as tall as it is currently is.
Still to build: Upper part of the tower, the base with the building and surroundings.



Thanks for reading :)
