I am an Art Instructor at a local K-8 that was once old Central High here
in Minneapolis. I am doing a project this winter with my students to
re-create the original Central High that once stood here. It looked like a
Castle. I have some pictures and websites people can look at. I could
REALLY use some help from any LEGO fans that have recreated buildings as
to how to approach the scale, etc. I also hope to display the pictures of
the finished model on lugnet and here on the RTL. For some reason I have
always had problems posting to lugnet? Needless to say a website for the
alumni is here:

http://www.mplschs.org/

It offers a description also of my project. A small picture of the
original school can be found:

If I could get some support/dialogue, I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Brian

This guy Bob Carney has made scale Lego models of a lot of castles in
Europe. This website has quite a bit of info in it

construction.
