Eiffel Tower w/ BlinkM Elevator

This stunning replica of the Eiffel Tower was custom printed for the owner of a local hardware store, Bevell's Hardware (http://www.bevellshardware.com/), who has been creating an extraordinary model train set in his store every Christmas season. In a town with a population of just 3500 people, he attracts over 40,000 visitors to marvel at his incredible train display. It's truly an awe-inspiring spectacle. I used the five-part Eiffel Tower model (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:49131) as the foundation, combined with another design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32825 ) for the tower itself. However, the very tip of the tower didn't print well, so I decided to slice it off and print it separately. To make this gift even more special for the hardware store owner, I added a functional elevator using (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52575). I modified the file to accommodate a BlinkM in the top section, utilizing (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25625) as the base for my BlinkM installation. The elevator is then cleverly positioned so that its windows peek through the middle section of the Eiffel Tower.
