it's alive...for realsies...
Step 1: Take some pics
Step 2: Model it in a CAD-like LEGO program
Step 3: Start building
Step 4: Get more LEGOs
click on that last pic. now compare to the first pic. you may notice some different colors. that is because i do not have the LEGOs i need. you might have the LEGOs i need. you may be the benfactor that has the money i need to buy the LEGOs i need.
that corner that i build is pretty much using all of the LEGOs I have that are the right color. and they are not the ideal size. and they really arent the right color except for the white...
the red are obviously not supposed to be there. but i have also been using light gray to build, and i actually need to use dark gray.
oh, the problems of a LOGO sculptor.
you are probably wondering why i just dont go get the LEGOs i need and do it my own darn self. i could. but i want this to be a project bigger than myself...i WANT others involved.
i am going to replicate this building as exactly as possible, to scale. it does not seem worth the undertaking if i dont do is as precisely as the vast amount of LEGO pieces allow.
PROGRESS REPORT:
i have taken 60+ pictures of the building.
i have looked at it closely, and from a distance. i am studying the subject.
i have started modeling the building in that CAD-like program (Bricksmith and LDraw.org and Mac Brick CAD).
i have started building with the pieces that i have. most of what has been built will have to be rebuilt when i get the right color and size pieces.
to show y'all how much i care, i am going to go buy some MORE legos myself.
see you at the lego store.
for this picture...this is what i need so far: (click to enlarge)
click on the paypal button on the right to donate.

yes, I find the paypal part very humorous. can we get a tax deductible receipt for our donation? or did you cover that question already?

no receipts, but you will get some acknowledgment of your contribution....
i have had to contributors so far, each contributing legos to my growing pile.
i will post more pics soon.
