The beds looks great, but it appear a little strange to have two king sized
beds in the same room? The lamps look odd.
|
Perhaps this is only an American thing, but showing that the room had two
queen sized beds and the strange double-lamp fixture was supposed to imply
that this is a motel room. They don’t have Motel 6 in Sweden, do they?
|
Not that I know, no.

Dt 22:25. What is the fence made of? Technic fig skis? The micro fig farm is
great! The pitchfork is somewhat confusing, is there another witch-hunt
coming up? (j/k)
|
The fence is made of skis, yes, but I think they are minifig skis. Actually,
I don’t know what set they’re from, so I can’t say for sure. I think this is
the first time I’ve found a use for them.
|
Here’s Technic fig skis:

Nice bowl for the pig! (And I literally mean the pig and not the rapist).
The brown structure in the back looks very good, it’s immediately
recognizable as a stable. The stapled hey is also great!
|
I’m glad the stable setting is recognizeable -- I’d been a little worried
while putting it together. The pig is, of course, a Duplo animal. It’s
actually the baby pig, which is why it looks OK compared to minifigs. They
very annoying thing about the baby Duplo animals is that they come attached
to a block of green plastic on which they stand. It was very hard work to
liberate the pig from his little piece of pasture. Duplo is weird.
|
I’m glad you did not use Ior from the Duplo line when you did the animal thing
with the bear in the last set of stories BTW: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/2977
Personally I’d laugh even harder but I suspect the outrage would have been
tremendous...

Dt 22:28. In the alley, the victims face is a tad disturbing. Still, it’s an
interesting detail.
|
Disturbing howso, out of curiosity? I had considered doing a Photoshop
touch-up to change her expression here, but I don’t like to do that unless I
feel it’s very necessary. I certainly didn’t want for it to look like the
victim was smiling or smirking in this photo, if that’s what you’re finding
disturbing. I ended up feeling that her raised eyebrow and half-covered face
expressed enough of a frightened and panicked expression to be appropriate.
|
To me, it looks like she’s having a good time. The corners of the mouth are
raised a little to a small smile.
| |
| |
In the last picture, is that foot massage or pant pulling? I “read” the
black 1x1 round plates as cookies of some sort. Not to be confused with a
previous use of 1x1 round’s. The plant is great! So is the comfy seat!
|
That’s supposed to be the newlywed husband pampering the newlywed wife, so he
is giving her a foot massage while she reclines with a glass of wine and a
heart-shaped box of dark chocolates. @8^)
|
A moment she’ll always look back to and wish it was not a one timer :)
| |
| |
Dt 22:13-14. Now I don’t watch a lot of TV, only have three channels and
there are not a lot of programs like that on them, still, the kind of show
that is displayed here is instantly recognizable and totally hilarious! It
shows the stereotypes just perfect!
|
I’m sure that Sweden is better off without the types of shows that this photo
is spoofing.
|
We have Ricky Lake on another channel and I’ve seen some of Dr. Phil. Yuck.
| |
I did draw some inspiration from lugnet.build.military. But actually, I
couldn’t seem to find anyone who had done a detailed model of a modern
warfare tank. It seemed that most of what I saw was stuff from WWII and WWI.
But you’re right, the SNOT work on a lot of those creations is amazing.
|
True, they tend to do a lot of WW-models.
| |
| |
Dt 20:13. Now that’s a nice execution! 1 x 1 round tiles, is there anything
they *can’t* do?
|
That photo is pretty disturbing. But equally diturbing to me is that no
parent is ever going to write me an angry e-mail because their child saw my
LEGO depiction of a mass execution. But if their kid sees one minifig lying
atop another, that’s a moral outrage!
|
Not the same ball field I suspect. LEGO are innocent, they believe. It’s all in
the eye of the observer.
| |
| |
And can you explain to me why the price for brown minifig arms has tripled
lately? :-)
|
It hasn’t really, has it? That’s gross!
|
Dunno but it would not surprise me :)
| |
Thanks again for all the comments!
|
You’re welcome! Thanks for bricking the best bits of the book :)
