(...) Well done Nathan. This is proof that both ends of the scale range can inspire awe. (Though, I think it's more nanoscale. Anyone come up with a standard yet?) I'm glad you posted it alongside Jason's version. There must be something in the air. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)

My challenge was even more challenging: building a die with smooth tiles on all six sides. You may have missed it when I announced it on Fri, 21 Nov 2003 (I didn't know there was a schleim-newsgroup). I started with a 9x9x9 die, very soon followed (...)
