Schleim On,

Aren't these exactly the same roses LEGO sold in a eBay/LEGO auction for charity
a year or so ago?  They look identical to me, except for the vase of course...

Nope. Mine are vastly superior in design:-) Initially I thought to simply copy those, but when I actually took a look at their design, I knew I could do a better job, so I did.

What’s the difference?

Mine design is more complicated. Compare these pics. The first pic is from a person who claims to have reversed engineered the original TLC rose. The second is mine:



As you can see, I made a better attempt to simulate more petals on the interior of the flower. My opinion anyway.

It’s a beautiful job, John! I like yours better than the originals.

Nicely done!

I may, at some future time, try to ‘reverse engineer’ your roses ;)

Take care,

Dave

Ah! Indeed, yours are better.

Thanks, Dave.

Ohh, sounds complicated:-) Here, I’ll make your job easier:



I think these pics reveal the basic idea here. One note-- the interior ring of petals is being held by pressure between the sections of the “stem” (a Ross innovation:-)

HTH,

JOHN
