(...) I've enjoyed your work for quite a while now. I must say, however, I am not real fond of your copious use of the word "murder" in recent chapters. The term isn't used in the original texts (of any translation I know of). Replacing the original (...) (19 years ago, 27-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

How do you photograph your action shots, like the one found here: (URL) you use blocks behind the falling balcony pieces to hold them in place while you photograph (...)

Hi, Scott. (...) Thanks! (...) a long time to set up. And they are generally very fragile, so just as I get everything into place, my wrist bumps into something and lots of stuff collapses, and I start over.

Hey Brendan, Great job as usual. Prostitute - Great face choice for the prostitute; that over-done eye shadow is perfectly slutty. The blue/white aesthetic you use for the Philistine town is very remniscent of (URL) Deborah Higdon's microscale (...) (19 years ago, 28-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) Outstanding, as usual. I like the philistine minifigs. It seems like every time you do a new story I think you'll be out of ways to portray different cultures. But you always do it great.

(...) I think that a lot of the old testament is probably collected from the notes of the rabbis of various tribes.
