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 reminicent of
Outlaw on the Atari 2600.

I can't believe that you remembered Outlaw, that game was awesome!  Well it was
fun, I don't know about it's quality!

It's Photoshop trickery.  They are just the standard gold coins which I set to
display in greyscale mode, making them pass as silver, and thus matching the
text of the story.  It bothers me to do that kind of thing in Photoshop, rather
than find a LEGO solution, so I try to keep it to an absolute minimum.

I think you've struck a pretty good balance in using Lego whenever possible, I
was really hoping there were silver coins that I missed in some set.


Yes, it was nice to meet you for two seconds.  @8^)
Nah, the feeling was sort of mutual.  I was like "woah, that's Jon Furman!"  And
then you left so quickly I thought I must have been some big disappointment to
actually meet in person or something.
No way man, I kinda felt like I was butting in, and I had to get to a dinner
meeting, so I said my hello's and took off.  I wish I'd been able to attend,
because I met so many great folks while just hanging out that afternoon.  Maybe
we'll catch up at tthe next event.  Thanks again Jon
