Hi,

This is my first post, but I've been having great fun looking at everyones collections on this forum - and have realised that my little collection is a big hobby!

I collect towers, but I have a rule - I will only add a tower to the collection if I have climbed to the top (or caught the lift :) - This also normally makes it easy to buy the tower, either in the gift shop, or somewhere nearby.

But I have a problem - the last two big towers I've climbed didn't have one for sale - I was wondering if anyone had any more advice for where I should go?

The two towers I need:
* Taipei 101
* Baiyoke Tower, Bangkok

Following a link I found here I've seen the 101 model at InFocusTech, it costs more than I've paid before, but it looks wonderful, so I might have to save some pennies!! But I can't find the Baiyoke Tower anywhere. I have even had eBay searches emailing me for a while now and nothing has ever shown up.

I'm not too fussed about scale, but I do want it too look right, the more detail the better, metal, plastic or ceramic tend to be fine - but paper just doesn't do it for me!

BTW: I also need a Loughborough Carillon (a tower near to where I live in Leicestershire, England) but I suspect thats going to be even harder to find!

Any Ideas would be greatly received!


Thanks, Ben.

Wow, awesome idea!

for taipei 101 look on google or ebay. they have tons of em. btw welcome to the forums!

Well try go to google or yahoo and look it up. Btw about the paper models just give them a try. Also, welcome to Skyscrapercity.com!!!!!

That's quite an interesting idea. You should try to look in online stores like Amazon or Ebay, but look into smaller ones too. Sometimes that's where you find all the goodies :)
