Impressive stuff!
Will you iron out the entire thing at the end? Or will the separation between "plates" disappear over time?

Interestingly, the Obama picture above was a massive collaboration, whereas dingsbums is just one lone nut job.

Yeah I cropped the picture in height & stretched it in length. I come to 880 x 430 = 378400 beads. And this is a little bit more than the Obama picture :awe: .


DONE 8-)

OMG This is easily the most awesome piece of gaming related artwork I have seen since... oh... I can´t even think of anything to compare this to :thumbupright: 8-) :thumbup:


Well. I suggest since you´ve taken what 2 years to make that bead picture, it might be worth taking a couple minutes to inform the Guinness guys about it as well :awe:

Thanks for the nice comments & feedback guys :thumbup: .
I'm really relieved the picture is done :) . I will not do another one anytime soon :awe: .

But the finetuning on the picture is still to do. You guys can propably see the faint white lines between plates. I will fill this with black FIMO (you can see in the first picture in the upper left corner I have done it on a few black plates).
