Eiffel Tower

This year in GT Kylee has been studying buildings and their construction.  Each student had to choose a building to study and then write a report, create a model, and do an oral presentation.  Kylee chose the Eiffel Tower.  
Kylee wanted to make it out of toothpicks and Matt helped figure out how to make that work.  They printed out enlarged images of the Eiffel tower and then created flat panels by gluing sticks together on top of the pictures.  When the panels dried they glued them together.  There was a lot of glueing and waiting for the glue to dry, but it came together nicely.  They finished it off with a few coats of spray paint.
