No, the sphinx is part of a 4 month exhibition, and will be dismantled in
September to arise somewhere else (with another weekend build)!

I wish I'd had your software to help design it, David!  I ended up combining a
few different programs and creating an electronic design for part of the model.
My software solution did not do any brick allocation, however, and just gave me
a "skin".  The real trick was in estimating the bricks necessary to create it.
I ended up creating a spreadsheet to help me, and it worked fairly well.  It
over-estimated what I needed, which of course is better than not having enough!
