Thats an interesting new take on the whole mosaic idea!
If you value your old grey so much (dont we all), why not make your
commissioned sculptures out of new grey?

Hey Bryan,
I am eventually going to switch over to the new colors. All the new bricks in
the the new colors I have gotten, I have been squirrling away. Not nearly enough
yet to do a full on switch. Probably when Lego.com or Legoland Pick-a-brick has
the new colors available in bulk, I will switch over.
I was never one to be all that bothered by the color change (although I can see
how it has affected many...). I just have never built much with the greys. A bit
more brown perhaps, but I had a good stock pile of that. Now, if they ever get
rid of tan, then I will be feeling pain!
Cheers,
Bill

Responding to my own thread to keep the clutter to a minimum...
How thick is the model? It appears to be only a few studs deep (maybe 4 studs
at most), but the various shades of grey give the model much more depth and
makes it really look like a 3-dimensional model as opposed to being a flat
mosaic.

Hey Bryan,
The whole mosaic in only 2 studs wide. Every Mosaic I have ever done has been
the same. In the past all my mosaics are unglued with a glued frame around to
keep all the bricks in place. I was going to do the same with this and the
Cement Mixer I built as well. But, the Mom had concerns of her 4 year old
tearing it off the wall. After I met the kid, I could see why see was concerned!
Nice kid, but a LOT of energy and, lets say, strong willed...
So I glued every brick, plus mounting it to the wall in several spots using
drywall anchors. It must of done the trick, because it has been aa month since
installation and I havent gotten any calls to fix anything yet!
Thaks for the comments on the 3Dness of it. If I were to do it over again, I
would probably use a bit more white on the chrome areas for some more shine.
Thanks!
Bill
