(...) Very interesting. I did not know about those sets at all. Both for the headlight mosaics and these macaroni patterns, one really needs a lot of bricks of said type to make a real-life version of these. Fortunately in this day and age of (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) The superficial similarity is striking. (...) I don't know that much about tiling patterns, but I can see that all my LEGO patterns so far have been based on a certain pattern of bricks being turned by 90° angles. And I also wonder if someone (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.parts, FTX)

(...) Very interesting..... This reminds me of the first 2 Lego sets ever produced that did not involve a building. That was the #1300 and #1301 Mosaic Sets from 1956.

Hi, (...) It clearly reminds me some Penrose Tilings (URL), Escher works (URL) and Alhambra art. Unlike Penrose tilings, your tiling is based on the number 4 and 90° angles. (due to the Macaroni part geometry). Quite the same for Erling brick (for (...) (21 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

I was messing around with some (URL) macaroni bricks> the other night and made a cool pattern, but I didn't have enough bricks to fully flesh it out, so I fired up ldraw. Once I had the first pattern, I couldn't help but try my hand at a few more: (...) (21 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, FTX) !
