Hi, Scott.  Yes, those are 1x1 headlight bricks.  I first stumbled onto that
building technique when I was trying to figure out a way to make God in could
form in Exodus -- I needed studs poiting in four directions to attach the outer
curves of the cloud.  While messing around with that idea, I found that using
multiple colored headlight bricks can yeild some very cool patterns.

I got kind of obsessed with this idea, and so started exploring the idea with
Ldraw (since I didn't have the requisite thousands over headlight bricks on
hand).  Over the past several months I've come up with a lot of neat patterns,
and I've sort of been waiting for a good excuse to finally use this technique in
The Brick Testament.

You can see the other ideas I've come up with here on my non-Brick Testament
LEGO creations page:

or on brickshelf:

This isn't all of them, and I'm sure other people could come up with lopts more,
but these are my favorites from the batch I've worked out so far.

Once again Brendan, Simply awesome. I especially like the different forms of execution. I just have to ask, is your courtroom floor made up of headlight bricks pieced together? It is an incredible effect. Scott Costello (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)
