MODEL BUILDING TIPS
This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.
Give yourself enough time to enjoy the process and achieve the best result!

ABOUT THIS LANDMARK
The Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic symbol of San Francisco, is spanning the Golden Gate Strait, the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Completed in 1937 this suspension bridge is renowned for its striking International Orange color, a hue selected for visibility in San Francisco's famous fog.
Stretching 1.7 miles (2.7 km) in length and with a main span of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters), the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world at the time of its completion. It's supported by two towers that rise 746 feet (227 meters) above the water, making them taller than the Washington Monument.
The bridge's design, by engineer Joseph Strauss, revolutionized suspension bridge engineering, introducing many new safety features and construction techniques. Despite the challenging conditions, including strong currents and winds, the bridge was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
Today, the Golden Gate Bridge not only serves as a vital transportation link, carrying millions of commuters and tourists each year, but also as a beloved landmark, celebrated for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It's a popular spot for photographers and visitors, offering breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, the bay, and the Pacific Ocean.

Très bonne qualité, envoi très soigné. La description des articles est très bien détaillée. L'emballage est soigné, aucun risque lors de l'expédition en une semaine.
C'est un cadeau, donc le montage aura lieu plus tard mais ça fait envie !
Très original.

Shipping was very prompt - the estimated time was 2-3 weeks, but the package actually made it to California in about 10 days. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the kit because it comes sealed in an opaque heavy-duty envelope and it is to be a gift. But I suspect it will go over very well.

I bought this as a Valentine's Gift for our 11 yr. old Grandson. The instructions are mostly just in pictures, and there are some intricate and delicate glue welds to make the supports stable. He hasn't finished it yet and had backed off a bit, but he has a structural engineer Grandpa who will gladly help him. It really is beautiful

Using this as table decor at my wedding. It adds a cute detail since my fiance lives in Seattle now but is originally from San Francisco.

Very nice. Just as described.

The bridge looks great in our son's room. Assembly took nothing more than some Elmer's glue and about an hour of time. And due to the weight of the paper used the bridge is surprisingly sturdy once it is assembled (I was able to pick up the entire bridge just by lifting it from the middle). Great purchase.

I thought it would look great with a clear coat after I finished, but it made it more red than orange. May have to do another and leave it alone. Color is spot on out of the box.
