Thanks, Dave!

   I was especially entertained by seeing your reflection in the soldier’s chrome 2x2 dish shield about 4 or 5 pictures into “Saul tries to kill David.”

Good eye. At some point after I started using the reflective silver armor for Saul and Jonathan, I noticed that occasionally the reflections are a little too clear for comfort. It was sort of troublesome for me because such details can ruin the illusion of The Brick Testament being an all-LEGO world. The reflections can reveal a nearby work area with piles of disheveled LEGO parts lying around on a non-LEGO surface, or a distorted view of the photographer snapping the photo. Or even both! Yikes!

I assume you were referencing this image where you actually get two views of me. Then there’s this one with the subliminal advertisement for the Ten Commandments book (look in the shield on the right). That was not actually intentional. I have a giant poster of that book cover mounted on a big piece of foamboard, and I use it sometimes to block the direct rays of the sun that come in through the windows of my photo area.

Might be a good way to work in some easter eggs in the future, though.

Best,

-Brendan

Hey Brendan, As usual, superlative work in every way! I was especially entertained by seeing your reflection in the soldier's chrome 2x2 dish shield about 4 or 5 pictures into "Saul tries to kill David." Dave S. (17 years ago, 1-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
