ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

A 3D downtown Indianapolis city model - Individually numbered for collectors

This 3D model of the Mile Square and the blocks around it (covering about 1.6 miles across) comes framed in a premium 12in x 12in black open/close glass shadowbox. Building heights are true to life (thanks to your tax dollars paying for USGS laser scans), with the White River and Canal cut clean through to a light blue backing, and the major Indy landmarks are modeled by hand (finally putting my college degree to use).

The Indianapolis flag is basically a map of downtown...and in our shop, we have a big 3D model like this showing how the flag overlays on the street grid and people kept asking to buy it. We heard you, and now you can!

Designed by Roger Gohl as a Herron art student in 1962 for a class project, the white cross is Meridian and Market Streets, the circle is Monument Circle, and the star is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. Gohl's flag of Indianapolis was ranked 8th out of 150 U.S. city flags in the North American Vexillological Association's survey in 2004. This model celebrates how our flag mirrors our city grid in a hangable or coffee-table-able way!

What's in it:

  • Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument and Monument Circle
  • Indiana Statehouse, with its cute little dome
  • Indiana World War Memorial and the American Legion Mall
  • All major skyline towers: Salesforce Tower, OneAmerica Tower, BMO Plaza, 360 Market Square, JW Marriott and even the newest addition to our skyline, the Signia Tower
  • Stadiums: Lucas Oil Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and Victory Field
  • The White River, viaducts, bridges, and even trees in major parks

Built to be in the center of the action. The whole city model sits down inside the premium shadowbox, which means no need for careful dusting and your cat won't brush past it and snap off your favorite building. The latched glass door to the frame allows you to open it to enjoy the model whenever you want to get a closer look.

Who it's for: The Hoosier who moved away and is missing home, the first-time homeowner looking for local decor, the Butler grad leaving town, or the lucky person with a cool office downtown. It can hang on a wall or sit on a coffee table, and it looks perfect in a living room as well as a corner office. Speaking of offices, this makes a perfect corporate gift...just saying.

Made with love in the city we love. Printed and framed to order (so give us a bit more time) by Flags For Good in downtown Indy.

Map Nerd Accuracy

Each framed map is true to USGS surveys and scans, meaning the building heights are accurate and roads are perfect. You'll have a blast finding your house, dorm, or office building. 

I try to keep models as current as I can, even hand modeling buildings that are under construction.

Opens so you can get close, closes to make sure someone else doesn't.

I found that most other 3D models (and some I own myself) are open 24/7 and therefore require dusting and protection against little humans and curious pets.

For this series I chose a premium black shadowbox frame that has a hinge and latch so you can enjoy it when you want, but feel safe knowing it's protected when you're away.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.

  • Yes! The frame has a standard nail hanger that you can pop out. It also is able to be rotated so you can choose which way is "up" for your needs.

  • For these models, the city is usually a matte white and flag elements are separate colored pieces that are assembled on each model. Any water is a blue card underneath the model itself. 

  • Since I am hand making these in my spare room (back to how Flags For Good began!) I decided to individually number each frame and box to add to the collectors value of the piece. Flags For Good keeps #1 and a lucky few will get the lower numbered models. 

  • Sure! (For now). As these are mostly made to order, small modifications can be made upon request. Use the contact form on our site to make an inquiry.  

  • I'm slowly adding new cities to the collection as I figure out a way to highlight the city landmarks as well as the city flag. If you're looking for a custom build or a city that doesn't have a good flag, use the contact form to send a request. 

  • These are individually 3D modeled and printed out of PLA in my spare room. Then each is numbered, assembled, and framed by hand and shipped to you from Flags For Good HQ.

  • We are only allowing them to be sent via UPS (for both our sakes). 

    If you're in Indy, the best option is to pick it up from Flags For Good HQ to reduce the shipping and handling risk.
