Brendan Powell Smith @8-) PS: I also just uploaded the Miniature Skyline that I put together a week or so ago, so take a peek at that, too, if you're (...)

| (...) Wow, that's great, a real slice of Roman life. It looks like you got all the big animals, too. I didn't see any small ones, but throwing Timmy to the scorpions doesn't sound as menacing. George (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

I really like the way you did the top of the Colosseum, (all those black 1 x 6 arches - I mostly collect town - I might have six or seven of those) as well as the special box for the king and queen.

| Hi, guys. Thanks for the comments. It's much appreciated. George, do you have any special requests for small animal match-ups? I do have Jar-Jar vs. a gladiator with an axe, but I could go smaller. We could have, say, a stick-weilding monkey vs. a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

| <snippy snippy> (...) Popular? Depends on who you ask. Me and the Sproats seem to love it. :-) A lot of people like it, but few people have built models to micro- or nano-fig scale.

| Hi, again. I've uploaded a few new pics to the same Brickshelf page: (URL) a few monkeys into the mix, made the polar bear hungrier, put a cat up against a black dragon, and even "flooded" the colosseum for a sea battle. The new pics are: (URL) I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)
