Yeah, I'm holding out: saw it, built it, done that; all to 1:1 scale ;-)
I must say, I've never thought of modelling the VLA antenna array. Great
idea, Roy.
The VLA is located about 45 to 50 miles from where I live.

Wheh!
More power to those who endeavour to take on this challenge! Would be very
cool.
I have a few friends and contacts at the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory's (NRAO- organization) Array Operations Center (AOC- building)
for the VLA here in Socorro. If anyone needs any contact information or
other details regarding the VLA, I would be happy to assist. Maybe the AOC
would like to have a working LEGO model of their VLA? Or, perhaps at the
VLA visitor's center? The AOC is in Socorro. The VLA+visitor center is 45
to 50 miles away in the Plains of San Augustine.
later,
