One of these days I’ll have to try that. I’m just afraid that I’ll ruin a head. Maybe I should start practicing with my hoarde of Harry Potters.

   That mini-scale Greek temple building is a very simple design, just using a spindled fence for the columns and a double-sloped 2x2 brick on the roof. As you may have noticed from recent stories, I now have about ten different mini-scale buildings that get recombined in different way to be the background for several different cities and towns.

They’re quite effective, though I suppose clear pics would ruin the illusion.

  
   You Gotta Fight

Wait, I’m not sure I get your reference for this title. You Gotta Fight... for your right to party? For your right not to be circumcised?

It was late, I was tired, and I was just trying to think of a song title for debate/conflict/fight (I’d already decided on The Final Cut for the next one).

   Hmm. Well, the next story is going to pick up with Paul heading into Athens.

I hope you recreate your microscale Acropolis. I’ll be sure to blog it on MicroBricks.

Bruce

It works well and scraping off the lightning bolts makes good practice.

My first “real” (as opposed to computer generated) avatar head was a “Steven Spielberg” scraped to make a goatee:



Sadly I nicked the left side so there is a small gap. I have to take pictures of the newer version I recently did.
