alice-teacher Alice 3 Gallery

[Leonel Morales]

Another possibility would be using six billboards each with a front
paint of the one of the six faces of a dice, six images of the
different sides of a dice would be needed.

Then the tricky part: assemble them as a dice setting one of them as
the vehicle for the rest.

Leonel
