Indeed. I have a couple thousand red (that I got from a seller at a very good
price) already, but not so many of other needful colors.
I'm keen to get some background on how these were created.. I'm thinking that if
you made up a number of submodels that had the various variants of colors in the
4square of bricks, you could use those to piece together the patterns.
Rev, is that what you did? Or what? can you share some of your dats? Maybe
people will get motivated! It could be like quilting!
