Re: Iconic Character Sprites
I will keep posting update pics. Last weekend was very lazy on the Lego, was doing other "stuff", and through the week i managed 4 plates. I'm at 45 of 77 done. Tomorrow will see more progress and i'll post an update picture then. My last batch of 300 brown bricks is now in the UK so shoul...

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
Had a bit of spare time at the weekend so this happened. Most of the Lego I used is probably older than the Spectrum - I stopped getting anything other than the Technical sets after I was about 11 which would have been around when I got my Spectrum. https://i.postimg.cc/ykhxMfLg/IMG-0234.jpg Very c...

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
I looked into how to hang this, conscious of size, bendability, sagging etc, so looked into how Lego does it for their world map and other pixel pics. They supply a special hanging brick that locks in to the backplates (those same backplates i have bought), so i have ordered 8 of them. 6 for my mons...

Fred, naturally, not sure i played any others, but Afteroids is the one i would mostly be drawn to. No-ones voted for it though, is it rubbish?
Just Fred from me then.

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
Good call. I've swapped out Head as i lost Heels anyway. Clive is in. And i've cropped it to 176x112 to lose the top and side rows of plates.
Now, does anyone remember that famous game with the T shaped character

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
I don't mind the lack of "lego" written on them, especially for the huge benefit of cost. Seraphima, i know the game, but not played it. As i originally said, its a personal piece so is going to be mostly very early iconic characters i grew up with, you can tell by who is on it so far... I...

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
So i've expanded the image to 192x128. This is 24,576 pixel bricks. I'm getting conscious of size, but this seems best for the plates and brick numbers. Its allowed me to re-add the stripe too, which i missed. Then i've found what looks to be the best bulk buy price on Ali for the bricks and the bac...

Alchemist was amazing to slowly work out, over many games. One of the few games i completed way back without internet guides and the youtubes.
