  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
(...) Thanks, Jon. (...) Heh, yeah, the bow-legs are a little goofy, but I like them too, better than my previous way of having minifigs ride camels. It's pretty funny to see one of the camel riders retain that pose when he's off the camel. It's (...) (21 years ago, 12-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
As usual, really sweet work! I like the riding legs, and the walls covered in 1x1 white plates. The throne is really genius as well. Are those coins silver or is it a lighting effect? That hat on the guy crowning the king, how did you do that? Hey (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
This is actually one of the most famous stories of the new testament, I have read it in a number of translations, each seems to emphasize a different part of this story just like it was done here, as always with the bible there are a number of ways (...)

  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
(...) I'd say rather that the king-maker would probably be a priest or other religious figure. For instance there is the example of Samuel the prophet being led by God to annoint David as the king. The hat would work great in either case anyway. (...) (21 years ago, 7-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
(...) That's a Biker Scout stormtrooper helmet turned backward. It was interesting to illustrate -- this guy was being made a king, so presumably the person making him a king had to have some even greater position. But I was using the crown to (...)

  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
(...) Yeah, it's kind of a tease that the king calls for people to be executed right in front of him, and then the story just ends abrubtly. (...) Ah, the clarity of parables. (...) I've seen people use that defense in court before. It usually (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
Hey Brendan, Great work as always. I especially like the wall behind the throne and the way you used stickshift bases on the throne. The way you are doing kneeling now is a lot better than the previous way of turning legs backwards, too. What in the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Parable of the Harsh Master
 
Great job as usual Brendan, even if it was lacking some of the violence and sexual content that I demand as a viewer. The walls in LK 9:13 and many other scenes were brilliant, as were the inverted basketball nets, and the bandana/epaulette headgear (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Parable of the Harsh Master
 
The Brick Testament has been updated today with one new illustrated story from the Gospels, the Parable of the Harsh Master: (URL) is the first of a few of Jesus's parables and other bits I plan on adding to the New Testament side of The Brick (...)

  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) Ditto what Kevin said. I look at my ships from five years ago, compared with FdG (see the left side bar in .build.military), and then Takao ((URL) and there's a definite progression, aside from size of course. It's a simple process of (...) (21 years ago, 27-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Minifig Venice
 
(URL) Hi all, just in time for the anual 1000steine.de-meeting after X-Mas ((URL)) I finished my minifig-scale model of Venice in Italy. The whole scenery is 4.5 x 7 baseplates (32x32 studs) large and includes some well known historic sights of the (...)

  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) There's one I'm still looking for, that someone posted on .space a while ago. It's the coolest thing I've seen. (...) Depends on the builder :P For me, that's true. I have a hard time building small, which is why I build both big and small, (...) (21 years ago, 30-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) As others have said, Welcome! Lots of great ideas in this thread, as a 'old-timer' I thought I could toss out a couple more. Don't feel you need to build HUGE things. Yes, some of us love to build massive things like 8-wide trains and 4+ foot (...)

  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) Welcome aboard, Dave! I don't have much to add to the wisdom already dispensed on this thread, but here are a few other suggestions to help you in your building (some of these may be repeats). 1. Start with a cool first name. (You seem already (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) Many great suggestions by others..... I do a lot of mutations. Start out with something, get and an idea on how to change it, change it. Try something else throw it out, try again. Don't expect that it will come out just the way you want the (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) Basically just throwing in a 'right on' to all that's been said. Only thing to add is that you've already taken the most important step, and that is joining this community. I lurked for over a year before starting to build. Then, I tried to (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.build.military)
 
  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) Experiment. Build. It sounds simple, and that's all the really is to it. What I find helps me is I keep a project list of some projects I'd like to work on. Some of them have came to be, others have just sat around in pieces. For example, I (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: How do you guys do it?
 
(...) How? Start building. You'll get better. That's not a flippant answer, it's the truth. Do as many of the following things as you can: - Build stuff "in the style of" official sets, perhaps working from their instructions to learn various idioms (...)

  How do you guys do it?
 
Ya know, I've been into Lego for a while myself. I haven't had the time or money I'd have liked to have for it over the last few years, but I do still love Lego. I've been coming to this site for a while now, and I just have one question for (...)
