Metal Earth ICONC Arc de Triomphe

Iconx is Metal Earth's collection of large intricately designed 3D model building kits. Each kit consists of remarkably detailed laser etching cut onto one or more sheets of thin metal.

Located on the right bank of the Seine at the centre of a dodecagonal configuration of twelve radiating avenues. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his fortunes. Laying the foundations alone took two years and, in 1810, when Napoleon entered Paris from the west with his bride Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, he had a wooden mock-up of the completed arch constructed.
