After several months' absence due to non LEGO-related geeky activities...
Daniel Shiu and I have just finished another Escher reproduction in LEGO.
This time it's "Relativity"; the most excrutiating example of SNOT
techniques I've ever had the misfortune to be engaged in.

| Daniel and Andrew, Wow! This one has to be your greatest yet. In addition to that headachy feeling looking at the picture, I'm anxious to see some of the great SNOT building techniques in this one. Amazing as usual, -Kevin (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.build)

| Absolutely Brilliant! How is it that I've missed this page before? This and the "Ascending and Descending" are unbelievable! 3-D lego models of things that aren't supposed to exist in 3-D! I can't say enough good things... Later, Chris (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-03, to lugnet.build)

| Daniel and andrew, this is AMAZING! It's very well thought/puzzled out and it leaves me very well puzzled and thinking for a while.

| (...) Wow. I would have to say that this is the best yet in your remarkable series. No "tricks" or photo editing, just plain old bricks interacting with light. So for your next Escher reproduction, how about doing the LUGNET logo? - Chris. (21 years ago, 12-Apr-03, to lugnet.build)

| I was hoping to stumble upon it in some of the discussion but only found a few references to examples in the website. What exactly is 'SNOT' building? I'm also interested in where the term comes from. :) (21 years ago, 4-May-03, to lugnet.build)
