Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Blog : Scraping Paint (or: How I use my M.B.A.) Scraping Paint (or: How I use my M.B.A.)Cleaning out the new storefront on 8th and Main has me wondering one thing... am I going to die of asbestos poisoning? My first day inside the new Brickworkz storefront on 8th and Main in downtown Richmond was breathtaking. Sure, the inside of the building is completely run-down and trashed, but none of that matters. From the street, the only thing visible will be the Brickworkz Lego mosaics, displayed in each of the 11 huge windows. There are four windows on the Main St. side - three are 39" wide by 80" high, and one is 65" wide by 80" high. The other seven windows are all huge, and face 8th street foot and car traffic. Each window has a sill about 2.5 feet, so there is plenty of room for a display. I will throw up a curtain behind each mosaic, preventing anyone from seeing the inside of the building, as it would be quite distracting. Primary goal now is to paint the window sill areas so that everything is neutral. I'm going with black paint to make the most contrast with my Lego art. Step one for that goal involved scraping off the old paint. It took about 5-6 hours to do, but I finally got it all off. I have some very dusty shirts at home now.
