LEGO MOSAIC FULL

LEGO MOSAIC FULL

As the name implies, this software works seamlessly with the LEGO Art sets, but it can also be expanded to the full LEGO color-palette. My recent favorite is called LEGO Art Remix. There are a number of apps that can do this for you, including those specifically made for LEGO mosaics. Once you decide what you want to build, you need to pixelate the image, which will help you turn it into a LEGO mosaic. So if you want to keep your own mosaic reasonably sized, it’s best to zoom in to the most important part of your image and crop away any non-essential sections. Even the combined Star Wars and Iron Man mosaics that use three sets only include part of a full figure. Notice that all of the LEGO Art sets are 48×48 studs (or about 15×15 inches) and focus on headshots. This is because even the smallest LEGO studs and tiles make fairly big pixels. Keep in mind that the larger and more complex your original picture is, the larger and more complex your mosaic will have to be.

The LEGO Art sets as well as the LEGO Dots collection are giving us tons of tiny pieces in a large variety of colors, so we should be able to reproduce pretty much any picture into a LEGO mosaic. The LEGO Art sets not just introduce LEGO mosaic building, but they may also inspire you to build your own mosaics. And the #31202 LEGO Art Disney’s Mickey Mouse set provides instructions to build Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse, or you can combine two sets together for a larger display with both characters.

The #31201 LEGO Art Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests allows you to build and display one of the four house crests, or you can combine four sets together for the ultimate Hogwarts crest. LEGO also revealed two more of the LEGO Art sets that will be coming next year (plus there will be even more later in the year). These sets also include the pieces to build the frame and the built-in hanger element. Also, each of them includes three alternate images (three Iron Man suits, or three Sith Lords), or if you have three of the same set, you can combine them into a single very large image (see pictures below). The #31199 LEGO Art Marvel Studios Iron Man and the #31200 LEGO Art Star Wars The Sith both use 1×1 round plates instead of studs to build the mosaics. The two other LEGO Art sets that were released this year are a little different. The frames already have a built-in hanger element, so you can easily attach them to a wall.

Both of these sets include around three thousand 1×1 round tiles to build the mosaics, nine interlocking 16×16 LEGO Technic bricks that serve as the base for the mosaic, and pieces to build the frame. Similarly, the #31198 LEGO Art The Beatles set allows you to build one of the four members of the famous band, and if you get four sets, you can display all members together. With the #31197 LEGO Art Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe set, you can build one of the four versions of the famous artwork, and if you get four of the sets, you can display all four variations together. The sets cost $120 each and give you lots of options for different designs and combined models. The LEGO Art collection introduced many LEGO fans, as well as people who are now to LEGO, to the art of mosaic building.
