Darn, I thought the great EH was going to comment on my mosaics. Alas. ;) I've been tinkering with my technique and I think my latest one VASTLY outdoes my others. I think I'll delete all the ones I've done so far and start over. :) Here are some (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

Here are some technique tidbits: The torso is built around the main gun and the structure needed to extend it. This was a very fun part to design. The gun is mounted on a backing which is two bricks thick. Little 1x2 slider tabs extend horizontally (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Cool. Thoa I have to say, the "stairs" appear as more of a ramp than steps to me. Mostly that is because Lego is so blocky, that when I see slight blockiness I guess I let my eyes smooth it out. Anyway, maybe its just me. Love the MOC thoa. (...)
