Chicago 3D City Map Framed Shadowbox

Downtown Chicago in 3D complete with the four stars of the Chicago flag along the lakefront - Individually numbered for collectors This 10in x 10in in 3D printed model of downtown Chicago, from Maple Street to Roosevelt Road and Desplaines Street to Navy Pier (about 2.4 miles covered) is framed in a premium open/close 12in x 12in black shadowbox with a glass front panel. Every building is true to height (from USGS laser scans), the Chicago River and Lake Michigan are cut clean through to a lake-blue backer, and the major landmarks are sculpted by hand (finally putting my college degree to use). The flag, built from the city. Wallace Rice designed the Chicago flag and it was officially adopted in 1917. The two blue stripes stand for the lake and the branches of the Chicago river, while the four red stars stand for Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire, the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and the 1933 Century of Progress...but you already knew all that because you watched my youtube video about it...right? For this model, I put the four red stars in a line down Columbus Drive, from 11th Street to Pritzker Pavilion. What's in it: Willis (Sears) Tower, antennas included The Hancock, Marina City and the Wrigley Building Millennium Park: Pritzker Pavilion, the BP Bridge, Crown Fountain and a tiny little Cloud Gate Maggie Daley Park and its skating ribbon Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain Navy Pier, the main stem of the river and both branches through downtown Tree canopy in every big park Framed for the long haul. The whole city sits down inside of a premium shadowbox with a glass door and latch so it stays safe from little humans (or cats) breaking off your favorite building. That means no dusting, no worries, but you can open it up to enjoy your model whenever you want a closer look. Who it's for. The Chicagoan who moved away, the couple who just got their first apartment in River North, the Northwestern grad heading out into the world, the lucky person who has an office in the Loop. It hangs on a wall, sits on a desk, and holds its own in a living room or a corner office. Speaking of offices, this makes a perfect corporate gift...just saying. Made in Indianapolis. Printed and framed to order by Flags For Good in Indy (so give us a little more time than usual).
