Excerpt: Paul is 16 years old and is home-schooled. He also takes online classes through Stanford University and Patrick Henry College. For many years, Paul dabbled in clay miniatures, and eventually stumbled across the global community of Lego artists. Adults and teens alike have taken the toy building block beyond their limits as a toy and into the realm of "medium."
For the library project, most of the scaling was done by hand and by eye. Vermeesch calculated a simple percentage from actual to the scale size then blew up the library's blueprints to that scale. That allowed him to build right on top of the correctly-sized blueprints. Paul's abilities and love of the medium has created a desire to start a business to help support his hobby. He is creating a website, launching Jan. 17, to market his new business Miniature Modeling creating all types of Lego models for customers.
