@Tarjei85 - Yeah that is a bit of a cheat but yah I see what you have going on there now, its no less impressive. The close in looks great, though you loose what, every other LED? I was thinking you could use 1x1 translucent bricks and then pop a solid color brick between them so that the LED's each have there own window. I dont know if it would be just a 1x1x1/3 for each led or two of them per, and your right not everyone has a tonne of legos. So your technicolor build is acceptable. TBH I have not bought too many bricks to use specifically on this project, maybe 10-15% BUT I have to admit I am running low on 1xYx1/3 bricks or plates as they are sometimes refered to. So, I may start purchasing more if I need too, or start using another color. I have yellow but most of them are small.
@CaptainZalo - My wife groans everytime I take out the Lego's and thats JUST for this project. I don't take them out often these days, but she doesn't get anything I do, the computer stuff, games, Lego, SCA, Anime, we see eye to eye on most philosophical matters and a lot of political ones, most parenting ones as well. I love my wife dearly but she is not a geek, and while she does enjoy most of what I can do when it comes to repairing things around the house, cooking, cleaaning, sewing, she doesn't care for the clutter electronics, computers, and well any tinkering really can create. I tell her I am pretty damned organized for how much I do, and how much I have, and show her pictures of others benches and she just grumbles something about dump trucks and walks away AHAHAHAHA!!!!
