Well, there doesn't appear to be a 'Modulex' newsgroup in the LUGNET hierarchy, so I'll just announce this in the usual 'build' group. My latest mosaic (this one out of about 30,000 tiny Modulex letter/number tiles): (URL) ---...--- Eric (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.general, lugnet.build) !!

(...) some! I assume however that they do not fit with LEGO bricks in any way (such as the way LEGO and DUPLO bricks can fit together)? I look forward to seeing it at BricksWest. --Bill. (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

(...) As always, Eric, magnificent work. I've never even seen Modulex, and you've bent it to your will already! Excellent excellent stuff. And, as a Rutgers employee, I appreciate your choice of subject from an alumni standpoint. ;) best LFB (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

WOW! Very impressive. As someone who is currently doing a pop art mosiac using standard 3033 type bricks (40 tubs worth of them!), I gotta say how impressed I am at with yours. I sometimes get frustrated with my mosiac, but having to make sure you (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

Paul, Thanks for the comments. The Audrey Hepburn mosaic is the work of Henry Lim, a friend of mine, and accomplished LEGO builder (he's also the other co-owner of the Modulex bricks I mentioned on my webpage). As per my FAQ, the Pixelego program I (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

Stacks and stacks of 1x1 plates aren't structurally sound, though you could make it 2 studs thick and use clear 1x2 plates tied through to the front layer. That makes it twice as expensive, though, and still not overly solid. What you really need to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

Eric, You might consider uploading your pics to Brickshelf and then deep linking them into your webpages (that's expressly permitted for everyone with LEGO related content). That way, more people would see your work, They would appear exactly the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)
