Papercut Eiffel Tower Model

The papercraft family tree has many branches. One branch of which I only recently became aware is the art of paper cutting. Typically, papercut art is 2d and looks like lace. However, some artists, using the same cutting techniques, build 3D paper sculptures.  This model of the Eiffel Tower is one such example. The tower was designed by an artist from Vietnam known only as Yee.  As cutting is my least favorite part of building paper models, I doubt I will be trying this model any time soon. ;) If you are braver than I, the pattern for the tower may be downloaded here. The Eiffel Tower has graced the center of Paris since 1889.
