Brendan, (with tongue firmly planted in cheek) What an amazing stroke of genius! Merchandising! What a great Idea! Imagine if the American Christian populace got behind this idea and started producing all sorts of swag to hock at conventions, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) I'm sorry for that, Brendan. I overlooked that in English striking down usualy means kill. I meant to say: strikes them to the ground. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Ah, much thanks for pointing this out. This oversight has now been rectified. As stated in my comments above, Moses is not necessarily 'striking down' these unruly shepherds, according to my depiction, but he certainly is driving them away (...)

(...) Thanks! (...) Actually, that's printing on the baseplate itself. It does look sort of strange when that's the only printing you see in that photo. You can see more of that sort of printing in this photo (URL)you've made Moses a little more (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Hello Brendan, The story 'Moses Marries a Midianite' should have a 'Violence' tag also, for Moses striking down the shepherds. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Brendan, Great work as always. I think my favorite detail is the pair of Jar-Jar statues in Exodus 1:10. Also the picture just after that of the Hebrew Slaves pulling blocks around is great. Another good detail is the varying height of the (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) LOL! I hadn't reallized that. Of course, that means your skinny cows are all cyclops. :) (...) Yeah, I've been looking for them, too.

(...) "Reverend" is more just a longtime nickname for me. A "reverend" isn't really an actual psoition in any church I know of, it's just a descriptive adjective meaning "revered by others" that many pastors and ministers like to use. (...) Thanks, (...)

Brendan, Great work as always. I particularly laughed out loud at the skinny cows in the Pharoah's dream. Also funny is your use of Sandpeople heads for the embalmed Joseph and Jacob.
