LEGO creations ministeck mosaics Remarks?

Examples


Last update: November 24, 2006

On this page you can find a few examples for mosaics that can be made out of LEGO bricks and/or out of ministeck tiles.
I don't have printable versions yet (maybe later).
I will try to add new examples on this page every now and then.

Check out the size to combine baseplates (be creative).
Use larger elements wherever possible.

If you decide to print the images, make sure they are at least scaled at 100% for acceptable visibility.

You are free to use these examples, but please mention source.

2. Photographs

Cameron Diaz (Size: 160 x 192)

These images of Cameron Diaz are a result of a discussion on LUGNET concerning dithering algorythms. I might as well use them here too. They can be built with LEGO or ministeck. Just bear in mind that - due to the error diffusion dithering - the mosaic consists of many 1x1 elements (do you have that many 1x1 ministeck tiles?).

Cameron Diaz Black & White Black, White, Light Grey & Dark Grey

The original image.

It looks like this in Black & White.

It looks like this with 4 shades of grey.

5 basic colours 12 colours 24 colours

It looks like this with the 5 basic colours.

It looks like this with 12 LEGO colours.

It looks like this when all ministeck colours are used.


And without error diffusion dithering:
Black, White, Light Grey & Dark Grey White, Light-Yellow, Tan, Earth-Orange, Dark-Orange, Brown and Black ministeck Portrait-Studio

It looks like this with 4 shades of grey.

If you can lay your hands on large amounts of rare colours:
It looks like this with 7 LEGO colours (sepia).

It looks like this when Black and White and all the ministeck Portrait-Studio colours are used.

This is what you need to build it with LEGO.
This is what you need to build it with ministeck.
