Hey Brendan,
I can’t believe I somehow let this slip by without commenting. I would claim
that I was busy, but in the interim I commented on Barbara Werth’s Rembrandt
MOC, so that excuse won’t fly. Anyway, great work as always:
God tortures the Philistines: Great temple of Dagon, and the use of the
mer-person as the idol is a good choice, as is the use of hair piece to connect
him with your Philistines. The tumors are funny, though I do wish there was a
solution for this that didn’t involve cheating. I see what you said upthread
about the disputed verse about the rats, and I think it might have been okay to
put some LEGO rats here and there in the pics, even if you didn’t quote the
disputed verse.
50070 Israelites killed by God: Nice cattle - I’m sure I’ve commented on their
design before. Too bad you couldn’t gold-plate a rat to throw in the box. One
thing I dislike is the wheat - it really looks like they’re harvesting bamboo.
I’ve seen others use antennae for wheat,
as in this by Jojo,
though getting tons of tan antennae might be painful.
Samuel becomes judge: I love all of the idols being dumped into barrels. What
is that yellow fish behind the blue fairy? Also what is the dark gray lumpy
element in the very front barrel? In the burnt sacrifice scene, turning the
altar upside down works very well, as does sticking the flames through the grid
piece. For some reason I’m unhappy with the modified face in
this scene - it just looks a little unfinished and Mister Bill-esque. Nice
punchline in the last pic. BTW, I like your use of the black beard and modified
hairpiece. I shelled out the extra cash to bricklink a black beard a while back
and have been looking for a distinctive-enough character to use it on.

There seems to be some serious uncertainty about how the Philistines pictured (...) (17 years ago, 15-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
