Today, we look at a fun use of a common piece: the plate! Plates can be used to make beautiful, artistic mosaics that can add flavour to any MOC or model.

In today’s post, we see five examples of how to use plates to make mosaics and artwork in LEGO models. Whether as spray paint on buildings, in a rug, or as large-scale pictures or screens, using the sides of plates to create artwork is a useful technique to brighten up a scene. Oftentimes, these plate details are held into place using SNOT bricks or other studs-not-on-top techniques. Check out previous Tips&Bricks posts for more SNOT tips and techniques!
