Hi Ryan,
All my sculptures are small (2 feet or smaller) because my husband
doesn't want me to build anything bigger than the dogs ;)
Seriously, I don't know how you would do that with MLCad (I find LeoCAD
very difficult to use IMHO), because most of the building process is
"organic" in nature (to quote Mr. Harshbarger).
If you build something to that scale, you'll definitely need to put in
building supports as sculptures are not solid.
FWIW, and play good, er, well :)

| It depends on what the sculpture is going to be used for. If it will be on display where random people will touch it you'll probably want to have a metal skeleton within.
