just because I'm a seminary nerd

Here is a model of Herod's Temple (the Temple in Jerusalem during Jesus' time) done by a farmer in his 70's taking over 30 years to be built.
It's pretty impressive on many levels.

would you?

Would you give up your present situation to do this job? What would you do to get it? Fox had an article about it here. I'm also curious how much looks will play into this (the promoters claim not at all... I'm thinking there will be a model-type hired in the end). 200 people applied within the first day. You'd better hurry and get your 60 second video in because the deadline is February 22.
