Well, okay, the ParLUGment one isn’t really new since it’s been built for a few months and was actually on display at Brickfest. I’m a little behind in taking pictures. :)

The LEGO logo seemed like an obvious good candidate for a mosaic of this type. The only problem of course was that LEGO doesn’t make black flowers. Go figure. Using blue flowers seemed like a reasonable compromise on the ParLUGment mosaic, but that just wasn’t going to cut it for the LEGO one. I finally bit the bullet and, with the advice of ParLUGment’s resident painting expert, dove into the task of painting 180ish blue flowers black. I think they turned out pretty well, but it certainly wasn’t very much fun.

Someday, probably when I’ve forgotten what a pain it is to paint flowers, I’d like to retrofit black ones into the ParLUGment mosaic as well.

These look really spiffy, even if the painting bit does make me cringe. :-) Spotlighted.

XFUT to lugnet.parts.mod because painting is a kind of mod, isn’t it?

So what kind of paint did you use, and did you have any adhesion problems?
