I've recently built a huge mosaic of Darth Maul (28 inches tall). Hopefully I won't get in trouble with copyright police. My secret dream (well, it's no longer a secret now :-) ) is to have this piece signed by George Lucas. (URL) (25 years ago, 13-Jun-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

Interesting topic. In future, instead of posting twice to .build and .market.shopping, consider one post to both places at once. Read helps on your news reader for how to do it.
