I have been. Some comments:
First Plague (River into Blood): The red river is especially effective. I
also like in the background of this photo:
http://www.thereverend.com/brick_testament//exodus/the_first_plague/ex07_21d.html
the use of the lightsaber rod for a stream of blood. Also the bench in this
picture:
http://www.thereverend.com/brick_testament//exodus/the_first_plague/ex07_21c.html
is a simple yet effective piece of minifig scale furniture.
Third (mosquitos): I'm actually not a fan of your mosquito solution. It
seems like cheating to just draw them on. I know, I've done lighting
effects etc in photoshop too, but this seemed more obtrusive to me. (Hey, I
can't say everything was great, or people would think you were paying me
off. :) )
Fourth (beetles): Very cute in ways similar to the frogs. I like the
little fence in this and other plagues seperating Goshen from the rest of
Egypt. I could almost hear the Hebrew figs saying "Ha-Ha" in the tone of
Nelson from the Simpsons. I like the servants of pharoah trying to shoo the
bugs away with brooms. Favorite build detail is the archway with the
stairway in this scene:
http://www.thereverend.com/brick_testament//exodus/the_fourth_plague/ex08_24b.html
also the floorboards. That's a very nice building. Oh, and Baby Fett's
torso is great for that fig. I need to get me one of those (along with the
blue stubbies). I also love the picture of the beetles swarming out of the
palace door.
Fifth (dead animals): very sad when all the horses are lying there dead,
especially sad is the kitty :( I do love all of your brick-built-beasts,
especially the camels (simple and abstract, but effective) and sheep.
Ninth (darkness): Kinda cheating, but funny. A nice silly little detail is
Moses "streching" his hand towards heaven.
I've looked at the others, but I'll comment later. The server is really
slow today so clicking through these is taking a long time.

| (...) You know, I never bothered to count. @8^) Suffice it to say, a lot. It started last Christmas when my girlfriend, knowing I'd eventually illustrate the Plague of Frogs, ordered me 10 LEGO frogs on Bricklink. It took a few more Bricklink (...)
