    Default Need ideas for school project - St. Louis, MO Gateway Arch

    My ds8 is doing a research project on Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO. He needs to make a model of it as part of his class presentation. Any ideas of how to make a replica of it? The original architect made it out of pipe cleaners, but I'm not sure how they would hold up. Help!!!

    model magic...it's made by crayola and its paintable. Very easy to use and found in the school supply isle at walmart.


    Have fun, I love the Arch we visit it each time we are home.

    I was going to say you could build a frame out of pipe cleaners or skewers/toothpicks, and then cover in paper mache. That would be paintable too. Not sure how hard it would be though, think the model magic might be easier.
