Hi Erik, I'm not too sure about that because I was too busy building =P, but I managed to get an answer from our designer who happens to be a trained architect =) "There were no special techniques required, but I first counted and measure the (...)

| (...) The Lego software does in fact only give the outline on a lego grid rather than where each brick goes. It works pretty good most of the time. When building large scale models, it is a bit of a different way of building than the Staue of (...) (19 years ago, 2-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
