A rabid ostrich.

You weren’t actually running just for exercise, were you?

Oh, my, no. Certainly not.

Not that it’s one of my 3 rules that I try to live by on my Lugnet

Darn ostriches.

Anyway, about the cube itself: Very cool! All of your designs blow me away
by themselves, and the cube is a great way to display them, as well.

Thanks. The only bad thing about the cube as a display mechanism is that it
fails to show off one of the coolest features of these headlight mosaics: that
they look great from either side. The best way to display 2D headlight moasics
is probably to just stand them up vertically, or figure out a way to hang them
from the ceiling so that both sides are in view.

As for
the corners--although it would ruin your all-headlight design, you might be
able to use this
brick for a slightly smoother look. But maybe not; I haven’t (yet!) raided
my headlight stock to try out some of your designs, so I don’t know how well
it would work in practice.

That type brick would work just as well -- using the same configuration I used
for the headlight bricks on the edges, but I don’t think it adds any smoothness
to the look of it. The perceptive difference would only be slight. Each edge
would still alternate between looking at the bottom of that brick and the side
with the hole in it, just like with the headlight bricks, only the hole in the
technic brick is larger. Neither solution allows slapping on the 1x8 tiles for
total smoothness.
Of course, maybe someone else can come up with a smoother design for the cube
edges using some piece or technique I haven’t thought of...
