Well, I volunteered my services since I live pretty close to them, and I was
interested in the project (who wouldn't be?!)

Unfortunately, TLG was unwilling to donate bricks or allow us to order
specialty pieces, so the whole structure was made out of standard bricks and
black plates. Piece estimates were somewhere on the order of 15-20 thousand
pieces.

At any rate, the project was 'officially' displayed the weekend before last
(Sunday, Oct. 17th)... You can see the currently standing building, and the
half-completed addition that will be built up as money comes in. I actually
completed the addition, and removed 2,500 bricks (exactly) which represents • the
donations needed. Some pictures are now available at their website taken at • the
grand unveiling:

Dave,

It is awsome.  You really need to get a pic of your ~minifig scale Grand Piano
up as well especially seeing that it might be commisioned.

I think it sucks that TLG would not donate the bricks.  I thought they did for
artistic endevors such as this.  If they wouldn't donate here I would like to
see what they would donate to.  (How about models of Consentration Camps).


As far as the building goes, it's more impressive size-wise than
detail-wise...

Don't put yourself down man this is great I only wish I had your talent with
the Brick.

Great Job,


Eric Kingsley
