That's so cool! I think I'll do that as well for the 3x3. As for the hanging
in mid air, I have my lettering raise (pushed out) by 1 stud. The slopes are
1 stud deep and are placed in front of the backgroud "wall". The rectangular
bricks 2 are studs deep and firmly built into the wall. Thus the slopes can
be somewhat easily "knocked" off because they're attached only by 1 stud.
