Papercraft Old City Hall Winners

Last week we asked you to consider building a papercraft Old City Hall. We were shocked how often the (papercraft) Old City Hall has appeared in our lives since. Most surprising was finding Michael Buchanan at Thursday night bocce with an Old City Hall in the front seat of his car. The deadline was Saturday. Today is Wednesday. So, who are the winners?

First Completed Old City Hall
The first entry appeared less than two hours after announcing the contest. Impressive.

Best Constructed / Most Creative
Sometimes the reuse of the building doesn’t quite pencil out and additions need to be made. Add a few floors… Extend the clock tower to make it a bit more … spire like. Although we have to ask, where’s the parking?

Congratulations.

    Oooh, Dave’s is very clever – nicely done! Glad to see I wasn’t the only one that was excited about this buried digital treasure ;-)

    What’s the story on the guy hanging from the clock face. It seems familiar, but I can’t place it.

    Dave L. is a king among men

    The man on the clock face has to be a reference to the Harold Lloyd, Safety First (1923).

    PARKING! – I wish I would have thought of that! Can I re-submit? And I didn’t come close to approaching Drizell’s height-standards. Only two days to think AND build was a crunch. (As it was, I still recycled a previously-used idea.) But thanks; I’m looking forward to more stuff like this now and then.
    RR, you’re saying that just because I gave you a boat.
