When you want to make something big, but are limited to 8 1/2 x 10.
This was a Christmas present for my stepfather, each tile took approximately 3 hours. Then I applied black stonefil by Johnson Plastics, waited about 10, then wiped off the excess, I think the effect was pretty cool, almost looks like pencil or charcoal. I couldnt find the GT emblem anywhere so I traced it out in inkscape. The strips of veneer for the logo are different woods, not colored with stain or paint. I was afraid of the mustang breaking so I attached it with magnets, so that it could be removed.
@Nedman I had the hardest time finding white tile, the best I could do was 4x6 glossy white. I searched all of the the Home Depots and Lowes in my area. About 2 weeks later, I was looking for rock salt in my garage, and found a milk crate full of 6x6 matte white tiles, which ended up being perfect.
