(...) LEGO contracted me to write the LEGO Mosaic program that is on their shop.lego.com website. While it is, in some ways, similar to my program, their requirements and specifications were very different than those of Pixelego (my program). (...)

That's a really nice creation. Well done! But I'm having a lot a trouble fully understanding what it was that you did!

Thanks, but this is way too pricy for my needs! :) For a gooey approach, I think I may go with an old Elmer's Glue squeeze dispenser filled with Oatey's glue. or For the thin stuff (straight MEK) I wonder if an exposed 1" x 2" x .5" dense (...)

Hi Will! When I was at Legoland, I was so surprised to learn that they used MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) as a "glue"! I used to use MEK to clean the screens used in silkscreen printing. MEK is some NASTY stuff! Extremely flammable and you don't want to (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
