Very cool mosaic.  I really like your technique of making it two studs • thick
and using 1xlong bricks on the back for structural stability.  I'd be
interested in seeing a picture of the whole thing turned backwards.

Thanks Bruce!
The entire mosaic is build this way, but now all the panels have been fitted
together, I don't think there's any way I can turn the mosaic around without
the entire thing breaking apart! I think it's going to take quite a few
helpers in order to lift the thing for mounting on the wall as it is!
Frankly, at the moment I'm scared to move it!!


Nice website design, too.  I look forward to seeing more models there.

One other thing--on the plastic drawers, do you have bricks on tan • baseplates
to help see what is in the drawer?  Or is that merely artistic?  Very cool
idea.

Yep - the plastic drawers in the picture hold some of my basic brick and
plates collection. I'm sure I don't have nearly as many bricks as Mr
Harshbarger, but I do have quite a lot of these drawers full of bricks. In
order to quickly find the items, I hot glued tan baseplates on the drawers
and placed one of each of the pieces that are in each drawer to the
baseplates. This works very well, but it's not my original idea - they do
something similar in the model workshops at the Legoland parks.
The most heard comment I get about these from visitors to my house is "I
didn't know LEGO made so many different colors"!

I am in the process of photographing more of my sculptures and mosaics and
these will be added to the website over time.
Thanks for the comments.

Richard.
