(...) Wow! I saw the two at Brickfest, but all of them together (thus far) is such a spectacular view! And to know that they're the Provincial flowers on top--that's just pure-D-icing on the cake. Nicely done! Dave K (22 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

Hello all, A long while back, I was talking to an AFOL about mosaics and he said he had wanted to create one in transparent bricks. I thought, "gee that would be cool", but I don't own *that* many trans bricks. Then magically, I ended up with a pile (...)

(...) To get correct stud spacing you need to leave some room between baseplates anyway. If you don't have any bricks/plates spanning more than 1 baseplate, it isn't a problem, but I'd probably do it anyway, just for my aesthetic gratification :) (...)

Ralph, I made a mosaic about that size this year. Here are my suggestions. First, I attached the baseplates to a wood backing (8'x6') using extra strengh liquid nails. I had experimented with it using a smaller baseplate and a piece of wood. After (...) (22 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

(...) Hot glue works well and you can peel it off the baseplates later on but it still has a high sheer strength. If you are not worried about recovering the baseplates later on then I would use a construction adhesive. PL300. Its for securing (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

(...) How permanent is permanent? If it's REALLY permanent, just glue the baseplates down with a little adhesive. I'm sure there's something out there that sticks to both wood and plastic. Adrian (22 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

All, I've got a pretty big (5x8 48 stud baseplate) mosaic that needs to be on permanent display at our local hospital. There is an acrylic panel in front to keep little fingers from prying the 1x1s off, but it reduces the tactile feel :-( Anyways, (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
