 | | Next plain set ?
|

Hi all ! I received both "famous planes" from S&H. The are very cool. I guess that the next "famous plane" set should be the Supermarine Spitfire. Try to imagine this set in the same scale as both current sets ! LEGO please bring us this famous (...) (22 years ago, 26-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

well... a puzzle with thousands of pieces. many of the 'pieces' are simply 1x1 tiles on their sides and such.... they are just stacked next to one another... not really connected. eric (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Eric, awesome job! If I'm understanding all the posts correctly, this could be a jigzaw puzzle, right? The image is just made up of lots of smaller, and not really connected, parts? That is sort of scary. Of course you could make it into a big (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Or is the friction and weight enough to prevent (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) 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). (...)

Funny how both images are effectively the same resolution, yet the SNOT (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Hi Eric, My confusion arises from trying to reconcile this: (URL) this: (URL) first one seems to indicate that we are viewing the sides of tiles, plates and bricks. The second one seems to show the tops of tiles. So, is the mosiac pattern made up of (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

That's a really nice creation. Well done! But I'm having a lot a trouble fully understanding what it was that you did! Do you have more photos showing a wider variety of pieces as they were fitted together? I suppose because it's only in black and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Here is my Golden Gate Bridge. I wanted this to be my first posting on Lugnet but Eric posted his a few days before I was going to post, so I held off. The bridge took me almost 2 years and two trips back home to San Francisco to complete. I was so (...)

(...) Thanks for the kind words. I like this size and type of sculpture as well because it's easy for non-LEGO fans to relate to. I enjoy the challenges of making curved surfaces, and in this case I'm also happy with the use of slopes to enhance the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
