Posted April 24, 201311 yr 144 x 128 studs ~40,000 pieces The mosaic is made using stacked transparent plates over a black background. My previous outing in this technique used only trans clear. This mosaic sees the addition of trans red plates to create the background effect and portions of the outer ring of the reactor. Trans clear areas range from 1 to 5 plates thick while trans red areas range from 1 to 3 plates thick. There are some opaque red plates used for the eyes and the center of the reactor. Trans Red was too difficult to see in these areas. This will be coming to NILTC's show at Helen Plum Library in Lombard, IL this weekend (April 27th and 28th) Main view Angled - The contouring is very noticeable around the shoulder harness in this shot. Full album is available here.
April 24, 201311 yr Wow, that's really good! I really like your technique for layering the transparent plates; I didn't even notice you did that before I read the top of the post! Great job!
April 24, 201311 yr This is very good! The technique seems piece consuming, yet most definitely worth it!
April 25, 201311 yr Author Whoa! Magnific! It must taken time to be built, mosaics are pretty hard to do! It took about 60-80 hours to build which is not too bad given both the piece count and needing to straighten each column of 1x1 plates
April 26, 201311 yr Wow, that's amazing ! And your technique is very interesting, that's a clever idea !
