I knew about the mosaic but had no idea the other sculptures were being made.
This is some amazing work! I’m glad i was able to help. It was really cool
looking at the ‘how they were made’ pictures. I especially likes seeing the
pictures of the printed instructions and the partially completed work. I guess
the printed instruction came in handy.

They certainly did!
That wasn’t the only way that computer power helped on this project either...
most of the base/armature engineering was done in CAD (I forget the brand but
it’s industrial strength stuff, ProE or CATIA or something) by Steve, and we
used a LDrawn partial head model that Steve did to get the brothers to come out
looking similar. (there was also the usual PC stuff for a 21st century
project... lots of spreadsheets to estimate and track things, submit expenses,
lots of email and discussion and filesharing, formal project contracts and
status reports and documents and lots of other mundane stuff)
Thanks again for your help, Bob. I particularly appreciated how you were so
willing to tweak things when we ran into resolution/placement issues with
Bricksiac early on, that really helped us out a lot.
Note for Rob Hendrix’s benefit: Dremel power also played a (small) role, we
still have more pics to post...

Bob..LOL that would be my ugly mug in those pics. holding a printout of the
mosaic of the froot loop box(taken by fellow michluger Ken K).It is a great
program and credit goes to Ken for the hours he spent coming up with a printout
we could use with the right amount of colors.Chris

Quite a few non-purist materials and techniques came into play for the
construction of Tony. Just off the top of my head:
-welded steel
-bolts
-wood
-carpet
-cardboard
-concrete
-glued Lego
-cut Lego
-melted Lego
