Physical model of the Burj-al-Arab
-
Hello out there!
I am searching for a 3D-physical model of the Burj-al-Arab in Dubai, one which comes prefebly in a kit-form. A 3D paper model of this building is available but was wondering if there are any other models out there. Would appreciate any help, thanks.

At least we know where to look now.

If you don't find it you can always settle for a 3D one
of these.

Hello and thankyou for getting back to me.
Because I am in the building trade and have a passion for architecture, this particular building inspires me, I think it is a wonderful piece of architecture, very different from so many other skyscrapers. Amongst all things it has originality and flair.
I would love to have a model to put on display in my apartment. I'll just have to build one myself, it wouldn't be the first one that I have built. Do you know of any detailed plans of this building available on the Net?Regards,
Peter -

Sorry for that. Anyways, thanks for getting back to me. I had already found the virtual models of the mentioned building but it is not what I am after. I would like the physical thing to put on display in my apartment. This is a wonderful piece of architecture and deserves recognition in every possible way.Regards,

No problem - you are not the first one to make this mistake.

I've closed the report.But like the others suggest above; get the virtual model from somewhere and then get a physical model made from that.
