skcheung Posted January 12 A simple way to make mosaic with basic bricks.A good gift for your valentine.Remind you, you must use a lot of 1x2 cheese, otherwise the build won't be so easy.I have tested it many times -- pieces won't fall out. I think 16x16 will be an optimum size of this kind of creation.

Vindicare Posted January 15 This is ingenious. The pattern is fantastic, with a lovely finished product. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted January 15 Yeah, you can get a surprising amount of detail into a small space that way. One improvement for the edges / border is to use plates, then tiles to top off. Not only does it give a studless, smooth border, but gives the edges extra strength. If you use bricks, they risk popping off and the cheese slopes falling out. I like the way you have built it to stand upright held in place by the 2L cheese slopes - I've done quite a few as floors and you don't need all that extra engineering underneath!

TeriXeri Posted January 17 (edited) Great way to assemble a mosaic this way even if it's not attached with anything. Edited January 17 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
