A high school art teacher in Wyoming took on a project to build a 30 foot Type VIIC U-boat to suspend from the ceiling by the entrance to their school's US History/World History class room. These images are select from the forum he posted in. His first post announcing the project in late August of last year and most recent updates are from this past week:
