Who has visited the eiffel tower, i have some questions?

Well, im making a model out of wood, what color should i paint it?
Also, if you stood under it, what shape would the landing be, a square or a rectangle?
What about the other landings?
Can you stand at the very topmost landing?
Will it work if i construct four side views, and then put those sides together?






Answer :
Hi
I live in Paris and as a Professional Photographer will send you a few images if that would help.

You will have to add me as a contact and then email me so I can forward the attachments.

But to answer some of your questions.

The landing is Square on both the first and second floor. Le Jules Verne occupies one of them completely.

You can go to the very top to the observation deck.

Not sure about how to construct it...






Answer :
The same architect constructed the Statue of Liberty.

The color is special to the Eiffel Tower and probably won't be changed anymore, though it has been many colors over the years. Currently it is is a gray-brown color. It has 3 levels. Levels One and Two are good enough for any tourist. The third level has a restaurant, very very expensive, but I think anyone can go there.

What is most distinguishing is that it is lite at night, very impressive, much like a fireworks show. It has fast twinkling light shows every hour at the top of the hour. Then there is a rotating beacon of strong white light coming from the very top. The color of the lights is changed every few years, or for special occasions, like the Olympics. Currently the lights are yellow-gold. The lighting should definitely be included on your model. You should be able to find a toy model or outline somewhere. This year is the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower.

It has 3 viewing areas (outside floors) accessed by elevator and stairs. It is on a square concrete pad, quite large, under it. A rectangular ticket office is under it. There are very nice pay-binoculars mounted on the outside railings. There were soldiers on the ground carrying machine guns. It's located in a little park, with a bigger park on one side.

There are two small Statue of Libertys on a small island in the Seine, and another nearby of just the head, full size head. The two small versions are visible from the Eiffel Tower.
