I used the web mosaic maker to create the basic image
(http://www.lugnet.com/cad/mosaic/) although, after it generated the image, I
cleaned it up a great amount. After it was cleaned up, I switched between
photoshop, and ldraw while I drew all the pieces in ldraw. I spent more time
doing this clean up and manual transfer to ldraw than I did building the model.
I didn't really like the output from any of the auto-generation studs up tools,
so that is why I chose to do it this way. I will probably be looking into better
ways to do this when I decide to do another mosaic.

I would, but it would ruin the smoothness of the studs up feature of the mosaic,
but I have thought about using a piece like this:

On another note, any suggestions on how to hang this on the wall?
Would attaching a piece of picture frame wire from side to side, and hanging
this on the wall be good enough? Or should I consider building a small (1 inch)
shelf on the wall to set the picture on? Your advice would be appreciated.
Thank You,
