When the picture is finished it will have nearly 400000 beads which means 400 packages each with 1000 beads. And each package costs 1 Euro = 400 Euro for the beads. But I have to glue the beads to the wall (and you need a strong glue for that). A can of that glue costs 10 Euro and I need 10 cans of that glue = 100 Euro for the glue. So the picture costs 500 Euro when finished (+ a LOOOOOOT of time) => I think that's not that bad  :-".

PS: Thanks for the nice comments guys - believe it or not that keeps me going on that thing because sometimes you can get really sick of it  :wink:.

You are both insane and a hero!

Impressive doesn't even begin to describe what you are doing.

I picked up a bead kit for my 5 yr old son today and we had all sorts of fun playing with it.  I ended up with this awesomely-mutated version of Bonk!



Sorry for the distant shot - It's really hard to make out close up. :)

The kit came with a square peg board that is only 14x14 which makes finding notable sprites an interesting experience.  I was going for the 1-Up version of Bonk seen in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, but somehow I mangled the left side of his face, and now it looks like he's hungry for brains to me. ZOMBIE BONK!

EDIT: Technically, I guess it's the RIGHT side of his face and the LEFT side of the bead-thingy. :P

I move way too frequently to even consider that notion. :D  However, when I finally settle down, I will have a room with an R-Type wall, thanks to this thread.

On Pegboard   :)



Ironed   8)



On the wall  :D





Everything now white have to be black and then I'm done with this thing    :dance: .

@tatsujin
I never thought about as doing this thing as a world record => it was just something that I would like to see in a game room  :D. But around two months ago I showed it to a very good friend and one of the first things he said was - "that's a world record". This was the first time I googled a little bit around on this subject and found this:



Quote on the Obama bead picture: .... 372 600 pearls .....

I will also be somewhere around that mark, but that's estimated by me because I never kept exact record of how much beads I have used. And counting that many beads is NOT something I really want to do. + the requirements on the Guiness Records site you have to do to get your record officially aproved also turn me off  :?. So at the moment I have no idea
what to do  :roll:.
I know one thing: It should be finished first  :D.

can't you just count one horizontal and one vertical line and then multiply them for the approx. used quantum of pearls? :)

The problem in your sentence is: ... approx. used quantum of pearls ...

For a world record the number have to be EXACT.

And you could calculate the number like you said IF ..... IF the walls where straight. But since this is a cellar room built in the mid 1960's the walls are NOT straight at all  :?. So the only way to get a exact number would be to count them one by one - and I really have not the biggest desire to do that  :lol:.
