The Middleman Posted October 31, 2005 B-OV-25C Hey all! Well, it's finally done, after a month of work and almost three hundred dollars in parts. Without further ado, I present to you the facade of Broughton High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. The real thing: More pics: At an angle. Left-hand side. The side of the left-hand side. The inner side of the left-hand side. The building was constructed in three sections to allow transportation. You can see the slight separation between them in this photo, but it can of course be made to disappear with the addition of a few well-placed pieces. The bell tower. Notice how I used shadowbox building, so that even without an interior, there isn't random crap behind the windows making it look bad from OUTSIDE. My fat cat staking his place. Now for some people... Joe, the troublemaker. He peed in some poor girl's backpack the other day in Healthful Living. Mr. Hagen, the filthy Canadian Drama teacher. Some of you may remember Patrick, who is up to his usual questionable deeds. Jordan and Keenan, my best friends. I gave them short legs just to piss them off. :-D Mr. McCants (a.k.a. Cantsy-Pants), my Latin I teacher last year and my Greek I teacher this year. He can do some seriously kickass backflips. Roy Teel, our new principal. Yours truly. And finally, the school at NCLUG (transporting it was a small nightmare), along with another mysteeeerious project... coming to you soon. Gallery when public. Comments, suggestions, all welcome here per usual. The school will be on display at (fittingly enough) Broughton High School from November 2nd to December 8th.

Lost Viking Posted October 31, 2005 Wow awsome job! That's amazing! Any details on the inside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted October 31, 2005 Bloody Jay, I bet I am not the first one to say this, but you are my idol! That is such a terrific job! *y* You should be a professional modeller. People might pay a large sum of money for projects like these. I know I whould! ;) P.S. I wounder what the other mysterious project will be! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
languages Posted October 31, 2005 Im gessing the secret project has something to do with harrry potter..... The school is extremely good, And all those tan bricks...... I cant wait to see what you create next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted October 31, 2005 Yeesh, $300?! Well, it's very well done, good job :-D Sorry about the $300 though...think of all the lost Vikings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted October 31, 2005 Great. Thanks for the "real" picture to compare with. You've done a great job. I wish I had the time and space to do some MOCing myself. RESPECT! KimT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattZitron Posted October 31, 2005 WoW Jay, looks amazing. Can't wait to see the super secret squirrel project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norro Posted October 31, 2005 A nice MOC. I like the characters and colour scheme. Do you really look like Potter? God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted October 31, 2005 Thanks guys! @ Chewie - shhh... @ Lost Viking - nothing on the inside. Of course, if you provide me with the cash, I'll gladly add one. ;) @ Mr. Lego Builder - hm... that's an idea. *twisted* @ languages - of course. ;) @ StarWars4J - that's $300 in parts off Bricklink (as well as a Yoda that our own jmenomeno sold off at a VERY fair price!), not all the parts in the model. That would be more like $800. It's amazing how fast projects even this size become so expensive! @ KimT - thanks! :-D @ MattZitron - no, the Secret Squirrel project comes AFTER this one. @ Norro - that's Parker, not Potter! :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImperialJohn Posted November 1, 2005 Looks great *satis* Your model that is !! But the real building is a bit boring :$ You could spice it up with a "good fight in the school yard" or a playground ! And call it artistic freedom ;) Otherwise great details *wub* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And call it artistic freedom ;) Otherwise great details *wub* I think it looks fine. But a fight in the front would be interesting ;) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattZitron Posted November 1, 2005 Did you get the T-Rex creator set? If yes, PLEASE can we see it next to the school!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted November 1, 2005 Spot on Jay. You got all the details in there, I compared the model to pic of the school and I must say, I cant see any diferences! ;) I like the work you did on the side of the building here.. Nice stuff, it really gives a brick work effect! Now, I want to see that smashed up area of the school where the truck drove into! ;) Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks all! Jon; yeah, there are at least a couple hundred of those little 1x1 tiles all over the school. The brickwork is on the entire thing, not just the side (well, the third story doesn't have much, but still). I'll have some more things going on around the building when it's on display... check back soon. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norro Posted November 2, 2005 I like the work you did on the side of the building here..Nice stuff, it really gives a brick work effect! I missed this up close pic. Thanks for pointing it out. God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
