Hi Guys,

I'm really cheesed off right now, as I decided to dip my toe into the frustrating
world of BL's Mosaik designer, to re-create a picture of my recently passed
away dog.

The reason I'm cheesed off?

The Mosaik programme calculated that I need to have 559 1x1 plates in Sand Blue...


We used to fight over the 1x1 plates in Sand Green to complete the Statue of
Liberty and Yoda sets which in turn really pushed the prices of them up, and
then Lo and Behold, LEGO comes out with the Brickheadz Owen and Blue set, which
is now going to lower the prices... (need 288 of them as well... )

But with the 'unofficial' policy of old colours getting re-made (Dark
Turquoise comes to mind), I wonder if LEGO will actually re-release the 1x1 plate
in Sand Blue?

Ah well, rant/grumble over, I'm seriously debating of whether I could get
away by cutting a 1x2 plate in half?

Regards,

Paul

My condolences on your loss.

Have you thought about using 1 x 1 tiles instead? They're plentiful in both
sand blue and sand green.

Thanks, she was 13 and 1 month when she passed.

I've not thought about that, because I'm not sure if they would stand
out noticeably....

It's a thought....

I'll look into this.

Thank you,
