We finished it up on Saturday, September 25th. Finished height is just over 7

the time we had ‘helpers’ working on sub-sections.
We’ll have more pictures in a few days, but to whet your appetite here’s a quick

of design time into the proportions and getting the details right, and they look
fantastic.
The model is currently on display in the atrium of the Siebens building, right
next door to the Plummer Building. If you’re in the Rochester, Minnesota, area,
I hope you can check it out in person!
