Golden Calf highlights:
I really like how the calf changes from the first to the second picture as
Aaron wasn't finished carving it yet.  Nice detail.
The design of the calf itself is good.  As with your previous cows, the SNOT
work lets you use those depressions to suggest eyes.  I also like those old
maxi-fig hands as horns.
Probably my favorite picture for layout is the sacrifice before the golden calf.
In the next picture, the minifigs dancing and head-standing in the
background is a nice touch.  I'm a bit surprised their carousing didn't go
any further.
I said this back when you made the icon for Exodus, but those pieces work
perfect as the stone tablets.
I like the sighing cloud.

Yahweh Relents:
I was wondering why the cloud had a little line of plus signs, but just
reallized you put four headlights together to do SNOT-work.  Clever.

Replacement Tablets:
How'd you do the shining face on Moses?  I was trying to figure out
something similar in Photoshop but couldn't get it right.  It's especially
nice in the picture with the veil how you got the rays around the edges.

The Ark of the Covenant:
Outstanding design of the Ark itself.  After you finish the whole Bible (in
ten years?) you can do "Johnny Thunder and the Raiders of the Lost Ark".  :)

(...) Thanks. @8^) (...) What did you have in mind for the carousing to "go further"? (...) Yeah, to get a good cloud shape I needed a way to get studs facing all four directions, so the rows of interconnected headlight pieces was my best solution. (...)

The Exodus saga comes to an exciting conclusion with the latest update to The Brick Testament featuring six all-new illustrated stories. See them here: (URL) Rev. Brendan Powell Smith (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.ancient) !
