The Brick Testament has been updated today with one new illustrated story from the Gospels, the Parable of the Harsh Master: (URL) is the first of a few of Jesus's parables and other bits I plan on adding to the New Testament side of The Brick (...)

Great job as usual Brendan, even if it was lacking some of the violence and sexual content that I demand as a viewer. The walls in LK 9:13 and many other scenes were brilliant, as were the inverted basketball nets, and the bandana/epaulette headgear (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hey Brendan, Great work as always. I especially like the wall behind the throne and the way you used stickshift bases on the throne. The way you are doing kneeling now is a lot better than the previous way of turning legs backwards, too. What in the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Yeah, it's kind of a tease that the king calls for people to be executed right in front of him, and then the story just ends abrubtly. (...) Ah, the clarity of parables. (...) I've seen people use that defense in court before. It usually (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) That's a Biker Scout stormtrooper helmet turned backward. It was interesting to illustrate -- this guy was being made a king, so presumably the person making him a king had to have some even greater position. But I was using the crown to (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) I'd say rather that the king-maker would probably be a priest or other religious figure. For instance there is the example of Samuel the prophet being led by God to annoint David as the king. The hat would work great in either case anyway. (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

This is actually one of the most famous stories of the new testament, I have read it in a number of translations, each seems to emphasize a different part of this story just like it was done here, as always with the bible there are a number of ways (...)

As usual, really sweet work! I like the riding legs, and the walls covered in 1x1 white plates. The throne is really genius as well. Are those coins silver or is it a lighting effect? That hat on the guy crowning the king, how did you do that? Hey (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Thanks, Jon. (...) Heh, yeah, the bow-legs are a little goofy, but I like them too, better than my previous way of having minifigs ride camels. It's pretty funny to see one of the camel riders retain that pose when he's off the camel. It's (...) (21 years ago, 12-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
