Minifig-scale science museum using 60894 parts. Includes multiple exhibit
areas, functional stairs & elevator, cafeteria, gift shop, admin offices,
toilets, planetarium, and service/maintenance area.

As a science museum the main design criteria here was that this building
should be bold. Futuristic. Something that uniquely stands out. Something
to impress the kids. Something that looks like it may have just arrived
from another planet, or about to leave for one. Plus I've been wanting to
build something on stilts or similar for a while!

Total Parts: 60894.
Approx. 10k bricks, 4k slopes, 10k plates, 26k tiles, 3k hinge-halves, 7k other.

Dimensions (Metric): 1746.3mm x 1746.3mm x 801.3mm
Dimensions (Imperial): 68.75" x 68.75" x 31.55"
Dimensions (Studs): 220 x 220 x 101<br>

Project took around 6 months, although more than half of that is optimization
(for rendering on less than ideal PC), render preparation, trial renders, and
then the final renders which weighed in at around 200 hours.

Built using MLCad and LDraw Parts Library, rendered with POV-Ray and LDView,
with additional software support from LDraw LSynth, LDraw Sticker Generator,
LDraw txt2dat, PHP, Paint Shop Pro, GIF Movie Gear, Imagemagick, PNGOUT.
