So, as you may or may not know, the purpose of my project is to build a LEGO model of my high school, and give it to the school when I'm finished.
A lot of people have asked me (1) how I plan on doing this, (2) how I'll get the LEGO, and (3) how long it will take. So here is my response to those questions.
1) I plan on designing the school on Lego Digital Designer (also known as LDD). Digital Designer is a free computer program that is basically virtual LEGO.
2) Once I've successfully designed the model, I'll take an inventory of the parts and order them on Bricklink, which is an online LEGO marketplace.
3) I'm not exactly sure how long the model component of my overall project will take, but It should all be done and wrapped up around May 2014.
I've already begun designing the base of school, referencing a map on the back of the student planners. I want everything to be as close to scale as possible, but I won't be bothered if it's not exactly perfect. (scale wise). I do, however, plan to pack AS MUCH DETAIL IN AS POSSIBLE, because with LEGO, anything is possible depending on how creatively you are willing to use the pieces.
