Hey Brendan,
Great installments as always. My (belated) comments:
Samuel is born - I like Elkanah’s customizedite hairpiece quite a lot. In the
second pic I’m a little creeped out by the two smallest kids, though - with all
that tan around them they look like disembodied heads to me. That head-as-body
trick works well for a wrapped-up baby, but not so well for bigger kids, IMO. I
like the temple of Yahweh a lot - was there a reason why you used older white
bricks? The way you did the legs in the 3-year-old bull is a nice idea.
Corrupt priests - Good head choices for Eli’s sons. Those little mustaches
always looked kinda sleazy to me. In the second pic it kind of looks as if the
priest is naked while picking out his meat. The wrap made of the cape and
rubber band is neat, though, when you can finally see it.
Messenger boy of doom - I agree, those temple furnishings are really nice. How
is Samuel’s wrap held on, btw? It’s a nice effect to have God get more and more
obvious with each time he called.
Philistines capture the Ark - How did the priests get the ark out of the temple?
It looks too wide for the door. I like the perspective on “So the Philistines
fought” a lot, also a nice pose for the broken neck of Eli.

Hey,
Continuing on:
Wealth - I like that shelf solution using clips. How is the screen attached on
the computer? It looks like it’s attached to a steering wheel piece. In the
yard sale the block of books on the right looks a little odd, espeically since
it’s a mix of 1x2’s and 2x2’s. This is the second time you’ve used this
technique of bending a head up for someone laying down - interesting - I think
it was better in the previous instance where they were dead, since it seems an
unnatural angle. Cute idea on the camel and the needle.
Divorce - I really like how you added background outside the door in the first
shot. The sand green / dark gray wallpaper is very effective. Good action
scene with the stoning. Why just the one fleshy fig on the divorced woman while
yellow everywhere else?
Castration - Ouch! That face just says it all, doesn’t it? Perfect choice. My
favorite detail is probably the toilet paper roll behind him. I wish I could
see the toilet itself.
Self mutilation - This may be my favorite of your redone lessons. In the first
pic that’s the perfect face eyeing the well-endowed fig. Some gruesome
photoshoppery on the second pic. The broken window in 5:30 is particularly
effective, and it’s a nice use of the Legorado sticker. In 9:45 I really like
the siding on that house. In 18:8, where is that guy’s hand? Now THAT’s some
harassmment! Very effective on the mutilation with the power saw (the best of
these, IMO), and I LOL’d at the subsequent hook hand and wooden leg.
Law of Moses - In the first pic, why is Jesus holding the scroll upside down? I
really like that customized hairpiece on the boss. That scene looks very much
like something from Office Space. Good Papal balcony and LOL at his hat.
Looking forward to future installments.

Hey Brendan,
Awesomeness!
Love - I really like the Oval Office, with the flag, the first family, that
kalashnikov, etc. Was that curtain design inspired by Shawn Sullivan? And then
- LOL - you don’t get a lot of Hitler MOCs. On the Klan, I think it would be
better if you used this
piece in white. I made
this vig and my wife’s first thought was that it looked like a klan guy. The
oil execs is funny and I like the technique to have the arab lean forward.
Forgiveness - more Bushy goodness. I just noticed that you used crates to make
the desk - very effective. BTW, is the “hunt them down” part a real quote?
Giving - Hmm, the proportions seem off on the sports car. I really like the
photo angle on Luke 6:34.
Lust - Very effective murder scene in the first pic, and the payoff in the last
scene is very funny.
Hey, I’ve got to go right now. I’ll come back to the other parts later.

Hey Brendan,
Dang you! Every time you post a new installment it makes me feel horrid over my
own long-neglected projects.
On Peace - Great implementation of the Lowell Sphere!
On Family - How did you get Jesus’ arms out like that? Did you cheat with glue
or is there some clever build solution that I’m not seeing? Great house. My
favorite of the violence scenes is probably the daughter against mother.
On Faith - Great microscale city. I like the punchline with the mountain
throwing up a tidal wave, though for some reason the upside down mountain looks
odd to me.
On Prayer - For some reason I really like the sock on the floor of the room.
The Fabuland accordian in the corner is an odd touch. The detached arms for the
praying guy work very well. I didn’t reallize there were so many colors of
bread.
On Hypocrisy - LOL on the plank. That phrase has always put a funny image in my
head, and you’ve captured it perfectly. Slight error alert - in the shadow you
can kind of see the piece holding up the plank. Funny ending.
On Self Defense - Good choice of head for the tooth for a tooth guy. The pools
of blood are effective.
On Dogs and Pigs - The house in the first scene is really nice. I’m not a huge
fan of the Duplo pigs. I actually prefer your original
brick built pigs
On Hell - Great throne. That 2x2 plate with rail piece works really well. The
Hell scene is very effective - it reminds me of some rennaissance painting, but
I don’t remember which. Did you base this on some particular artwork?
On Anger - Nice allusion to use the first pic in this installment. I really
like the blood pouring off in the beheading pic. Seems like those tiles would
have kept falling over during photography. I really like the electric chair
design a lot.
Great work, Brendan. You always inspire.

Yahoo! More BT!
Last Supper - Hmm, it seems very similar to before, though the photography seems
crisper. Is the old version still there for comparison (for some reason, the
relevant folders on Brickshelf are all suppressed - I can’t imagine any
questionable photos (along the lines of Lot’s relations with his daughters) in
these, which I thought was the point of Kevin’s handling of the BT)? I do see
that it’s a lot more polished comparing the
old to the
new - the seams between bricks aren’t random, you’ve removed the goblets that
were blocking faces, the window frames match the wall, and you’ve added some
exterior outside the windows. You’ve also changed a couple of the disciple
torsos. When did those become standardized? I know I’ve had the problem with
two-year waits between my story updates that sometimes better torsos or heads
appear for characters I’ve already established. One thing I notice is that the
photoshoppery in
this pic isn’t quite precise in that the satan ghost overlaps Judas’ arm.
Arrest - Again, I don’t remember exactly what the original was like, but this
seems crisper. I like the first scene where they’re climbing into the hills a
lot and the kneeling Jesus is very good. I’m not a big fan of the goofy angel
face.
Trial - Ooh, there are some major changes here. I really like Annas and his
floor, and also Caiaphas’ floor and his menorrah, Pilate’s porch and Herod’s
floor. Why the grill bricks on Herod’s floor, btw? Setting these
round bricks into the wall works well. I’m not a fan of that Barabbas face.
Crucifixion - Outstanding as always. I particularly like how you added the
unfocused city in the background of the crucifixion scene. The cross carrying
is also a nice new addition. Are the eyes in
this scene modded or photoshopped? Btw, the minifig positioning in that scene
is particularly good and realistic. The zombie attack is a nice scene - very
Goldmanesque.
Judas’ fate - Where are the silver coins from? I see that there are a few on
Bricklink but neither Bricklink or Peeron list them as being in any sets. Judas
throwing the coins works well (nice floor there, btw), and slightly stretching
the head out in the hanging is a funny effect. Not that it matters, but my
impression was that the tradition was that he hung himself in a tree rather than
inside.
Empty tomb - I get your point, but the way you emphasized the differences
between the accounts is a little heavy-handed. The MOCs are all outstanding
(though it seems like there should be a better solution for the strips of
cloth). I particularly like the use of lighting for in the tomb, out of the
tomb, Jesus in the door, etc.
How the Jews tell it - LOL on the “to this day” scene. Who knew that Harry
Potter was Jewish?
