That looks awsome! Good luck at that auction Saturday :-) !!

Very nice! Where is the auction being held?

[SirNadroj]

Woohoohoo!

They're great, but surely Bricklink is cheaper than Lego.com 'cos you can buy them at $1 for 100 1x1's (grr! I hate dollars. *Clasps Breast* Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules The Waves! Britons Never Ever Shall Be Slaves!)

Where does a 15-year old get $200 to give away, just like that? Good cause though. You must be uber-mega rich or something, not like me *sad* :-$ - I've seen pictures of your collection and it's HUGE! Nothing like mine.

Regarding the MOC (Jack, that be) I think the left eye needs a little more shading beneath it...did you glue the plates down? If you did...>:-(

A slightly depressed Slazza

Actually, I bought 90 1 x 1's for .83 cents on S@H, so I actually got a pretty good deal, but the black peices I had to buy off BL, so the black peices all together cost more than the three shades of gray put together! :-X

Well, my family contributed to my cause because I donated the one, but I got enough peices to make another 10 or so, so I'll sell those off (for a profit! ;-) ) I've sold 2 already, and made a considerable amount of money compared to what was spent, so hopefully at the auction, someone will want to commission me. Or that's what I'm hoping! :-P

Well, LEGO is copywritten, isn't it? Besides, I think people can infer by the colours and font, which looks pretty close to the real thing! And for the ignorant people, they'll just be curious, and eventually email me! :-D

Very nice! Where is the auction being held?

I'm not sure exactly, somewhere nice, I assume! :-$ (In RI, I think.)

Hot Tomali...

What a lot of work! I'm sure they'll fetch a fair price and if you've mapped the tiles you could always try manufacture them again for the next event. *y*

.......and if you've mapped the tiles you could always try manufacture them again for the next event. *y*

Well, I never make two of the same mosaics! ;-)

I'm about to leave for the auction, so I'll probably let you guys know how it did tonight or tomorrow. ;-)

BTW Col. Whipstick: I love your avatar! :-D

I just got back from the auction. I had a great time ~ it was really fun! There were a lot of important people there, including the governor, but it was still great to meet everyone ~ they were super nice! I also had a chance to bid on some things, and I won tickets to the Late Night with Conan O'Brien Show, so I'll be headed to New York sometime next year.

But on to the main thing. I may have mentioned my brother made a chess set from polymer clay. That started $500 USD and went for $1500 USD.

And the mosaic also started at $500 USD and sold for $1750 USD! I'm really happy for the Tomorrow Fund! They realy made a lot of money tonight! And a lot of people took my card, so I may be getting some commissions (hopefully! ;-) )
