As always Brendan, your work is Godly. :-) I especially enjoyed the dark gray minifig hand you used to make automatic rifles, and the brown minifig arms for excrements. :-) Good use of tan for the tanks. As for soldiers, I guess you didn't you (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Hey Brendan, Great work as always. Rape: I like the busy-ness of the bar with all the bottles and glasses etc. The striped bedspread is especially nice, as is the microfig farm scene. Newlyweds: Great detail that there is the unfocused background in (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Hi, Soren. (...) One should always keep a barf bag on hand when perusing my LEGO creations. (...) I had an alternate photo where I used brown 1x2 plates. It looked more LEGO, but not quite as disturbing. Of course, I chose the more disturbing path. (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Brendan, 'more laws..' are classic. Highlights: Rape: The broken necks of the minis at the gates, the glass-rack over the bar, the hay bales in the barn, and my personal fave, the effectively blurry gunshot wound to the head. I think that frame is a (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
