Some of you may have already seen the (URL) headlight brick mosaic patterns> I've been coming up with using Ldraw: (5 URLs) While out running the other day, I had an inspiration: maybe I could take six of these patterns and form a cube. It didn't (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jun-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX) !!

(...) What were you outrunning? You weren't actually running just for exercise, were you? Not that it's one of my 3 rules that I try to live by on my Lugnet member page, but I never run unless I'm chasing somebody or I'm being chased... Anyway, (...)

(...) Simply amazing! And just to make it a little more insane: Have you thought at all about attaching the faces of the cube from the inside in order to preserve clean edges? Play well, Andreas Stabno (URL) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

The only bad thing about the cube as a display mechanism is that it fails to show off one of the coolest features of these headlight mosaics: that they look (...)

(...) Hi, Steve. I take that as a great compliment that these patterns remind you of those in the Alhambra. I've never been there, but the tiling examples I've seen in photos are stunning. Does the Koran have a section on intructions for Islamic (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Andreas. (...) If it were possible -- or rather, if I had been able to figure out a way to do it, I would have made the cube with clean edges. But I'm not sure it is possible, at least, not just using headlight bricks. If anyone can (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
