Okay, there is one thing I am not pleased with, now I have one of the Mario
games theme song stuck in my head. Thank A LOT!!!

Thanks Janey,
I had a blast building this. It is the second time I used arches in this way to
create eyes. The first time I did it was for a client who wanted a Lego version
on their little dog, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff (also on my brickshelf folder
if anyone is interested). I used 2 1x1x4 arches with a row of plates inbetween
and it fit a 2x2 round brick perfectly inside.
For the Mario, it is the same sort of technique just taller. One difference is
when I first put the blue 2x2 round plate in position, it seemed way too sunken
in. So I attached the corner of the blue plate to a white 2x2 radar dish (or is
it a parabola?). I then attached the white piece to a technic brick with a
technic pin in the row behind it. It made the eye come out a bit more and gave a
nice roundness to the eyeball!
The great thing about this technique is that it can all be done without glue.
The bottom arch piece is inverted and covered with a tile and placed on top a a
row also covered in tiles. It is really only held in place by the bricks around
it.
Thanks for the great comments! I will be posting more stuff as I build ‘em!
Bill
