Welcome to “Ancient and Medieval” Keith. Two great tastes and all. (As long
as you are not making stuff up!)

Me, make stuff up? Only in abs.
| |
I just love the long line of warriors. It makes me think of the absurdly long
line of caterers in The Last Emperor.
|
Thats right! Actually its inspiration was the long lines at the Rio buffet. I
was living in Vegas at the time of this project.
| |
Elevation: nothing makes me more uneasy than a Lego hill or plateau consuming
all my bricks as it gets higher. I see you get mileage out of the big green
base bricks. Try that sometime I will. But also a scary number of green
plates which raise the level (no pun of course). Your paean to the water
table is also noted.
|
I’m glad to see that my “song of joyfull praise or exultation” (had to look that
one up, thanks for the vocabulary word) found a fellow believer. The water
table is absolutely key. Equally key are those big green bricks, I use them
time and time again, for the iron reich stuff I just sheath them in gray plates.
Very usefull.

I didn’t see the radar dishes on the army at first (plate heads?), so I think
you are underrating the benefits of the cargo dump to the civilian
population, who are now protected from acne and eczema and worse things.
|
Yeah, sometimes I’m rushed when writing the captions (ref. my juvevile spelling
mistakes). I think the caption about the plate heads was mis-matched to the
photo. I never considered the anti-basal cell carcinoma protection. Well said.

Riki-tiki-tavi is not garbage culture.. we must bring back Kipling in our
schools.
|
You are aboslutely correct, how about a lego theme devoted to good ole’ Rudyard?
| |
All that light glare (how to make the water do that I wonder? tiles? nitric
acid vapor?)
|
Yeah... if you could only harness the unlimited power of bad photography and use
it for good. Acid vapor... I hadn’t considered that.
| |
It IS a great looking village.
|
Yeah, I know.
| |
This shtick, you just make that up to make us look at the pictures? I’m
looking for the snake but I don’t see any. I also checked for Darth Vader.
|
Darth is not there, but my naked hatred for the recent films sure is. There is
actually a snake under the temple overhang, but again my brutal photography
fails me. I’m not sure what schtick you are referring to... I did get an email
from an outraged parent. The kid is a regular in another lugnet-group, and
apparently his father didn’t like my captions. Don’t know what to say about
that one. The schtick about castle-group haughtiness is only partially
exagerated. The europeans who frequent the group are actually quite embracing,
responsive and inviting, but there is definetly that clique-ish vibe from the
others. What can I say, my projects just play better in the old world. Did I
mention that I’m big in the Netherlands?
| |
Are the round-eyes from Time Cruisers?
|
Interesting speculation... no... round eyes are just whitey. Like me.
Thanks for the comments, you are obviously a man of extremely good taste.
