Sixth (boils):  Again, I kind of thought this was cheating.  I do like that
they actually bulge out though.  Interesting octagonal building in the
background during Moses and God's conversation.  I'd like to see clearer
pictures of that.

Seventh (hail):  Nice humor with the references to the already dead
livestock.  I really like the building in this picture:

I like the hail.  Impressive.  All of my clear and colorless bricks look
more weathered than those.  I don't think those age too well, so these are
all new.  Also an impressive number of those old-style trees.

Eighth (locusts):  I like the use of guns as locusts.  There seems to be a
symbolic connection between the two.

Tenth (firstborn):  The table covered with the animal carcass with it's
head, entrails etc is pretty good.  The insect antenna is a nice addition.
Also the painting the blood above the door scene is very nice.  God killing
the firstborns is pretty brutal, but that is the story.  I really love your
microfig scale city:

Anyway, all around great work.  Looking forward to the parting of the Red
Sea (Sea of Reeds).

I suppose I could have used fire to actually change the shape of the plastic on the minifigs, and that would have made is still be all-LEGO. But burning LEGO seems like such a sacrilege. (...)

(...) You know, I never bothered to count. @8^) Suffice it to say, a lot. It started last Christmas when my girlfriend, knowing I'd eventually illustrate the Plague of Frogs, ordered me 10 LEGO frogs on Bricklink. It took a few more Bricklink (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)
