Richard,

after reading you webpage in detail, I see you are also considering a
'stained glass' mosaic. I've been collecting trans-bricks for some time
as well, but still only have a lot of red (mainly -- about 500 1x1).

I hope with the possibility of bulk bricks at the parks, more trans
pieces can be obtained for a reasonable price.

I also have never decided what image would be best for a stained glass
work, tho I've toyed with the notion of doing another playing card (Jack
of Diamonds, maybe).

I changed a few things from the original painting including the color of the
background from red to blue and giving the girl some nail polish!

You can see photos and a description of the building of this piece at my
website here;

Also on the site is a new Lego color guide where I measured the color value
using a Pantone spectrometer. Other models detailed there are my version of
a Legoland scale London bus and a minifig signal box.
I have many more pieces to photograph and write up which I will be doing
over time.

Please let me know what you think!

Richard.

Bulk is US$60/Kg at Billund. Billund (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
