Purdue Boilermaker

Being an Alumni of Purdue University, it was given that I needed a scale model of the Purdue mascot. Unable to find anything on the market that was anything I would want, I decided to build my own. To do this, I had to download a picture from the internet of the Purdue train and take dimensions and transfer them into the final product. I was able to purchase the Purdue logo's at the campus bookstore that fit the scale model and I found a gold bell that fit perfectly. The roof is made of plexiglas, since I couldn't get wood to work the way I wanted it to. Other than that, all parts are all wood made from scratch. Fun project!
