Wow this is REALLY REALLY cool. I’m in the process of building a mosaic
using plates on their sides (studs pointing upwards). I’m not done yet, but
the pattern on the plan I created (using Bricksaic) could be better. It’s
not Bricksaic’s fault - the pattern I’m trying to re-create is probably too
complex for the small area I’m putting it in, so your technique may help
improve detail.

If you’d mail me the picture I may be able to give some pointers or create a
plan for you... unless you want to do it all by yourself, of course.

My immediate question is though, can your mosaic be built for real without
using glue? I haven’t visualized the building process, but you might need to
get very creative when matching up the vertical units with the horizontal
ones...

Well, the thing is... the whole construction doesn’t need to be 1 brick thin...
there’s plenty of space to construct behind the mosaic.
I’ve made a picture with some examples:
3 ways to snot
From left to right:
1: using 1x1 bricks with hole. Those things aren’t useable in every situation,
and I may ditch them alltogether.
2: Simple, and using only one headlight brick.
3: This may be a bit hard to visualize. The idea is that I would build
the two
differently-oriented mosaics in such a way that they would hold themselves
together without requiring additional parts. This is only a simplified example,
but I think it’s possible to create a mosaic out of two parts that snugly fit
together this way.

| (...) Thanks, email sent! (...) That's true (mosaic can be more than 1 brick deep). And judging from your picture, SNOT comes very natural to you! :) Being mostly a castle builder myself, I just don't have very much experience with SNOT... Example 3 (...)
