EMMA

About this design

Emma has 4 letters and takes 35 plates in 4 sizes. The mosaic only uses 1- and 2-stud plate bands, the ones LEGO sells loose. At this piece count it helps to build letter by letter and check the spacing as you go.

Piece inventory

Building Emma takes 35 plates in 4 different sizes: 26 of 2×2, 4 of 2×10, 4 of 2×4 and 1 of 2×8. The 2×2 ones are 74% of the total, so those are the ones to keep spare. By colour that is 11 blue, 9 yellow, 8 green and 7 red. The same name in 3D goes up to 60 pieces, 25 more, and needs 1 baseplate instead of 2.

Size and space

The Emma mosaic spreads over 2 baseplates of 32 × 16 studs, about 25.6 cm wide each. It sits flush with the plate, one plate thick.

S, M or L: what changes

The generator offers three sizes, and for Emma the gap is wide: 39 plates at S, 35 at M and 78 at L. At L the name stretches to 25.6 cm and needs 2 baseplates, so it's the choice to make before buying any bricks.
