Despite bouts of apathy and frustration brought on by poor artistic skills and horrible framerate the MEGADORF™ is complete. Many dwarves died during this project, primarily during the casting of the beard and the hilarious cave-ins and unavoidable hidden magma pockets which it caused, and the resulting tantrum spiral (for those interested there is a fair sized graveyard in his upper chest).
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE MEGADORF™:
*The MEGADORF™ stands 72 zlevels tall
*The MEGADORF™ has the ability to drink and piss water or magma(but not both at once).
*The MEGADORF™ has room for over 300 dwarves if the rooms were constructed and could easily be self supported out of the farming area in the beard(if someone bothered to irrigate more of it).
*The MEGADORF™ has pump stacks reaching down to a cavern lake and the magma sea which require around 1.5k power which is supplied by ground level windfarm.
*The MEGADORF™ required over 45k blocks, 7k raw stone, and 5k metal bars to build.
*The MEGADORF™ was carved by someone with no artistic talent or experience in three dimensional modeling.
*The MEGADORF™ claimed 65 dwarf lives in its construction and in excess of 200 pet lives.
But lets face it you don't care about that, you want some PICTURES
Map on DFMA(side views are amusing):

Original post
In a flash of utter retardation I have decided to build a 100 or so z level tall statue of a dwarf that my dwarves will live inside. The statue will have a mug held over its open mouth and a waterfall will be constantly pumped out the mug, into the open mouth, through the whole damn monstrosity and then be propelled out of his crotch. I plan to pump magma into a storage area in the rear so when I turn invaders back on I can pull a lever labeled "DUMP".
The problem I'm running into is getting a good set of blueprints, is there a program you folks know of where I can model this more easily? Hand drawings give me a basic shape but I need to see the blocks and how they line up in 3D to really grasp it. I would like to make it look at least semi decent and use rounded surfaces instead of ginormous squares.
