Hey Brendan,
Oops, your most recent installment (David and Saul) made me remember that I’d
never commented on the Final Acts.
Paul in Athens - In the first pic I really like the microscale Accropolis, and I
featured it on MicroBricks. In the second
pic, the floor is really nice. It’s not really complex like your headlight
brick mosaics, but the pattern is very pleasing. In 17:19-21 I like the SNOTty
floor, but the transition to the studs-up plates seems abrupt. BTW, nice
statues throughout. Is that white woman’s hair sculpy?
A close shave - I really like the menorah design and also the use of the grill
plate in the wall of the synagogue. When Paul strips off his close, it would be
more effective if you had an actual fleshy torso (Patrick from the Spongebob
sets).
Speaking in tongues - Not much to comment on here. I’m not sure why tongues
necessitates rolling on the ground, though.
Book burning - In the first pic, that’s an interesting bed design. Is that
based around a window frame? In the same pic, I like that pattern in the back
wall. Nice action shots for 19:16, very WWF (oops, WWE I suppose). In the book
burning scene, the use of gray hair as rocks is cool. How appropriate that all
of the books of magic being burned came from the Harry Potter theme. :)
Bored to Death - Nice attention to detail having Paul’s hair start growing back
in. I also really like the scenery outside the windows (and changing from day
to night). In the scene where Eutychus falls, the legs going out the window
look great. When he is “picked up dead”, the broken neck design is very
effective. I think I probably complained about this when you did this story the
first time, but I think you do the story a disservice by cutting off verse 12,
where Eutychus is fine. I know you have verse 10, but your rendering makes it
seem that he’s not quite dead yet, but probably headed that way, rather than
having had a miracle occur. I know you have to make judgements about where to
end stories, and that the breaks and headers in most modern Bibles are not
inspired, but an honest reading of the text says that this incident goes through
verse 12, since verse 13 picks up with a change of scene.

| Hi, Bruce. (...) Hey, I thought I'd finally slipped one right past you! :) Always nice to have your comments. (...) It's an honor. Nice post, by the way. And thanks for bringing to my attention that microscale Manhattan. Very ambitious. (...) (...) (17 years ago, 7-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
