(...) Awesome as usual Brendan. Construction-wise, I particularly liked your washer & dryer, the use of keys for subway hand-holds, and that nifty guillotine. Always an enjoyable read, keep em coming. -Chris (21 years ago, 15-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Wow. Thanks for showing us. I like the massive, bricky columns. Shows that squares are the way to go! I went looking for details on Pheidias (lost) statue. Could you tell a little bit about how you designed yours? -Erik (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)
