skcheung Posted January 1, 2019 My tribute to a famous Chinese ink painter Xu Beihong (1895-1953). He was primarily known for painting horses. No glue used. Unlike the real painting which was done on paper, this MOC is very thick and heavy. I use a lot of technic parts to get more than half of the slopes stuck. The size of the MOC is 44x44 studs. I think this is the maximum size allowed for this method of creation. You may have noticed all the edges were curved outwards.

Johnny1360 Posted January 1, 2019 That is quite impressive, for something that looks so simple, it is very involved. The final result looks very good and I can tell a lot of time went into creating the finished product. I really enjoyed trying to figure out how it was achieved, thanks for sharing.

MAB Posted January 2, 2019 Wow, very impressive. It looks like the fairly simple route like making a floor using the cheese slope parts, but I guess this wouldn't work so well once you lift the finished piece vertically. The finished result is way better than the regular mosaic technique of using a square based grid. What goes on behind the scene is just as impressive (if not more impressive) than the final picture.

Well, as seen from the video I attached above, all the cheese slopes are still ok. They don't fall out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
