Thanks for the comments! I enjoy doing these surfaces
partly because Lego is 'obviously' the wrong medium.
I mean, it's rectangular bricks, right? So making thin
curved surfaces is a way of pushing the limits.

Yes, I've bought up a couple of lots of 1x3's on Bricklink
over the last week or two. I couldn't have finished the
Bour's surface otherwise. But I'd still like TLG to get
the message. I'd have bought a lot more bulk bricks from
them in several shapes if they had bulk packs of 1x3's, but
as it is the shapes they do sell aren't much use (by themselves)
for this type of project.

I'm in the initial planning stage for another project which
I think will be seriously cool, but I don't want to spoil
things by describing it too early. And anyway, it's borderline
whether I'll be able to pull it off. Watch this space (but don't
hold your breath). It's _not_ another math sculpture (though I
may produce more in the meantime).
