Thanks for the detailed answer. (...) I think I was surprised as anyone when I saw how well the first set of Brick Testament photos came out.

(...) Hi Brendan, Thanks for the nice comments. To do the vehicle scene, I bought a large sheet of fluorescent pink/magenta art paper and photographed the models on it (and also making sure the paper was evenly lit).

Cool, thanks for the info Christian! The sets are kind of disappointing, though. I mean, if we were all asked to come up with set ideas for a Chinese subtheme, would we come up with these? Take care, Gary (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.adventurers)

Apart from a few minor differences* in color the green torso is exactly the same as he has always used. Why should his shirt suddenly become a vest? It (...)

Gary, Beautiful work! I think my favorite details are the little things around the office. Those file cabinets, for instance, look perfect. Another favorite detail is the fire escape. Great work. Bruce (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.adventurers)

Hey Gary, First and foremost, an awesome job! You indeed made the story quite evident, and enjoyable, and overall it was very cinematic. What camera do you use?

Does anyone have a good picture of the new shield that comes in this set? I believe it is a gold and black ovoid shield. Thanks, Aaron (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.castle)
