Hey Brendan,
Continuing great work. My comments:
God Takes Note - I particularly like the part where God is writing a note. :)
I also really like the tile floor in your throne room.
Burning Bush - I just noticed that you're using two capes to make a cloak.
That's a nice idea. The burning bush itself is stunning. The orange and
green work really well together. Too much talking in this story, but there
you are constrained by the text, which is just a long conversation without
much action. That said, though, you kind of rip the guts out of the text
(IMO) by not having verse 14, where God says his name. At least IMO that is
God's crucial line of dialogue. The staff/snake bit and the white hand work
very well. I especially laughed at the white hand (which doesn't look like
it's fully attached, for some reason).
God Attacks Moses - This is just a bizarre story. Well executed in ABS, though.
Moses and Aaron - Seems like a very uncomfortable kiss.
First Meeting - I really like your idea for the throne, using two minifig
chairs and adding armrests. I'll have to borrow that idea. Maybe for King
Theoden's throne. In the outside scene, are those Bionicle parts I see?
Very nice. I've seen Brad Hamilton use very different pieces in his Town
creations, but I've never seen Bionicle used this well in an ancient setting
before.
Second Meeting - In the second meeting one of my favorite little details is
the cat - sitting on Pharoah's lap, then stalking the snake, etc. Very
cat-like. I really like your magicians and wise men. Apparently one of
them has died since Joseph was around (which makes these guys really old,
since this is supposed to be several generations). I generally don't like
that dinosaur head piece, but here it is pretty funny in Moses' staff/snake.
Keep up the great work. Maybe I'll get back to my Tolkien project someday
soon. I've started a new job, so have only done a very small amount of
building, and none on my big project.
Bruce

| (...) Thanks. @8^) (...) The Pharaoh's throne room had a black tile floor back in Joseph's generation. My original idea was to only introduce some subtle changes to the throne room for the Exodus stories, but then when I went to move the throne room (...)
