How can i make a model of the Greek Trojan Horse? I need to make a model for school. It doesn't have to be a Trojan Horse(u know the big wooden thing the greeks hid in to win the trojan war), but it has to be greek. I want to make a trojan horse though. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? ______________________________

Hey, come on, don't be so hard on the guy! (I speak as someone who often types a half page reply to a post before realising that I'm in the wrong window, and I was just about to tell my Mum how to optimise an assembly routine - my computer's ability to multi-task vastly outweighs my own!)
We got folks here that can solve equations in complex numbers, design beautiful user interfaces, squeeze every last clock cycle of assembly code... many of whom are artists, photographers, musicians, electronics enthusiasts (when they can drag themselves away from SM, that is!). Hell, we even have our little "debates" about psychology and philosophy.
What a bunch of clever clogs we are (and some Lego fans here too, I know) - so who better to ask for advice? 😉 I will resign from the forum if it can be proved that not one person here has ever made a model of a horse! 😈
Really though, I think it is good to be reminded (even by accident) that we are not just 'technicians', 'programmers' and 'scientists' - we are 'creators of things' just as much as architects, poets or painters - even a line of code can be merely functional, or done 'elegantly' (sorry, he did say 'Greek', not 'Geek' - he he). No matter, how technical the process, we are 'sculptors' of sound waves - that surely has an aspect of 'art' or 'aesthetics' about it - how else to choose which sound to make?
Anyhow, I digress (this may happen a lot now [i.e. even more than usual!] - I started working in a office where the computers suck away the conversation all day, so I'm a bit 'interaction' starved! Rather than ruthlessly 'moderate' the thread - I'll stick it in "Off Topic", and I would love to see pictures of any model horses that anyone made. In fact, post up pics/link to any old arty stuff you do - it will be interesting to see if folks 'artistic' sensibilities are correlated with the kind of SM stuff they do. (do keep any pics a sensible size though!!)
For me, it's mostly photography - I used to paint, but it didn't fit around the 9 to 5 too well, coz I could never make it work unless I finished the picture in one sitting. you can take a look at a little of both on my Flickr page (not updated for a very long time!)
and, naturally, here is a horse...

I would be surprised if someone hadn't already built a .osm for this. Maybe this post should be moved under the group project area so we can build it. 😕 😈

Yeah, and it should also make horse sounds. 😀
