Sultan Ahmed Camii Turkey Mosque Papercraft

Recently a friend of mine invited me to visit Turkey, when I asked her what is good about Turkey then she mention this architecture building – Sultan Ahmed Camii mosque.

The mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque as it has blue and white iznik interior tiles all over the place is heaven for those architecture otakus or who loves beauty scenery . My guess it’s the something along the line as adoring Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower .

A bit of a history lessons, Blue mosque was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Its K?lliye contains a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. It is listed as one of Turkey’s world heritage sites.

Model is made by canon cj paper craft website. I haven’t visited them for a long time and only realized of this model after visiting 3DZhimo.

Model requires 30 pages of paper and medium hard to build. The photos above shows the same model built by 3Dzhimo’s paper crafter.
