(...) Although some of the images in The Brick Testament can be quite bold, I think I will probably refrain from depicting any minifigs with 'rections. @;^) (...) That's really good to hear. I do hope I'm improving with time. (...) If you have time (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Brendan, as always I love your Bible stories. Hilarious and dramatic at the same time, if such a thing is possible Keep it up! About the Midianites: it looks like those countless cheap Luke Skywalker's found a use after all! :) (21 years ago, 24-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hey Brendan, Great as always. I do think you're overemphasizing the brutal aspects, and it's getting harsher, but that's a religious debate I don't want to get into here. I'll focus on the building: God kills 24000: That idol is great. Very good use (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) I took some time to get past the first photo in this new series, I had to calm down from the hysteric laughter :) It will be interesting to see the rections on this one! :) Peronally I think it's just fine but I know others will diagree.

Maybe I'm getting my impression from some classical painting? (...) Actually that would (...) (21 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Hey, Bruce. I never tire of hearing that. @8^) (...) Yeah, balancing the snakes on their sides makes them look a little more aggressive. They kept falling over, though. (...)

(...) Thanks, David. (...) Yes, I had heard that. I don't know where they get the idea that the snake was wrapped around the pole. Yahweh tells Moses to make the bronze serpent, *then* raise it up on a pole. Nothing mentioned about coiling the (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Hi, Scott. Thanks for the compliment on the buildings, or as you correctly point out, facades. You're also right in that almost nothing I build for The Brick Testament is left standing. I just don't have enough LEGO to keep the old stuff (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)
