(...) Doh. Ok, after rereading the site I failed to mention in the last post: (URL) granite pedestal is 89' and the foundation is 65'... I still didn't run the numbers to find out how big a minifig scale one would be, but i did find a picture of the (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
