Here's my latest project, which I've been working on for two months now. It's a large scale mosaic of a map of the United States of America. the reasoning behind building this was I wanted to bring it to the various fests, and allow people to place 1x1 dots or something similar on the map to show where they're from. Since it weighs so much, I'm unsure if I can get it to Brickswest, as shipping would be pretty expensive. It WILL be coming to Brickfest though, since I can drive there. Anyway, enough blabbing. http://www.brickfrenzy.com/sculpture_map.html Adrian -- http://www.brickfrenzy.com

		Re: New Mosaic: Map of the USA
That is absolutely stunning. This is the coolest thing I've seen so far this year, lego or otherwise. Great idea for a subject matter too - cool and functional. It'll be interesting to see the map after everyone's stuck their dots on. Eagerly (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.events.brickfest)
