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 (...)

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.

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)
