Xynthymr Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) As a purely conceptual exercise, I decided to create a large, flat, mosaic-style representation of several classic LEGO minifig characters. One of my favourite characters from LEGO Town history is featured in set #6665 River Runners The build is mainly 3 plates deep. The bottom tier is made up of entirely black plates to provide a base level to build on and to retain structural rigidity. The middle tier consists of predominantly yellow plates, with some black plates to outline the shape of the minifig head. The top tier consists of mostly black elements to represent the eyes, mouth, and stubble, as well as blue plates for the shades! The whole mosaic measures 38x38 studs, and would make an excellent wall decoration, framed or otherwise Edited August 5, 2015 by Xynthymr Quote
LegoSjaak Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 You should personalize someones head as such a mosaic and sell it through the internet.. i think it would be a nice present for a lot of people! You could try to make one look as yourself for instance.....?? Quote

At the moment I am just experimenting with using the basic minifig shape as a template and seeing which classic minifig characters I can recreate. I ultimately want to add hats / hair pieces, but in such a way that they are optional and easily removed from the main head template I am quite pelased with the few figures I have recreated so far, and am currently working on a Benny spaceman :) Quote
