Paper Model City

[Cubed Root]

Hey guys, for a long time now I've been constructing paper scaled-down models of famous tall skyscrapers of the world. I've organized them into a city of my own.


All the models are to scale and their height are accurate.
This for an example, Shanghai tower vs Home insurance building

An example of the paper template (to print): Aon Center

Print them on really glossy paper and then you get the buildings from the board game called "Hotel"

This is awesome! Do you make the templates yourself or do you get them from a website?
EDIT: Also, are these a specific scale? Like 1:87th?

Thanks. I get most of them from skyscrapercity.com and they're about 1:1700 I think. Most of them I had to do proportional math and resize it just so it could match up with the actual height and still retain similar proportion to other buildings.
