With a little over 8 weeks to the exhibition Zsolt has advised me that the photographer from the Hungarian national press has been to visit the school and following the visit and publication of the article some of the photos have been online in Argen... 

Exciting times. The project has been completed and the Lego image is now ready for the exhibition in January. I think that the Lego mock up looks really good and applaud the skill of all of those involved. The image is made up of more than 7,000 Lego...
