Brilliant work Casper, Portunis has always been one of my favorite mocs, and the new pics make me appreciate the details even more. The temple looks great from every angle. The only problem I have with you, is that you don't build enough! -Keith (20 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hi, Casper. Wow, excellent construction on the temple and the gate. You did a particularly nice job with the temple roof. And everything is so smooth -- nary a stud point up. The interior shots are quite intriguing. Wish I could see them a little (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Just adding my $.02. I have a personal preference for Satan #8, mostly because he looks a lot like me. Don't get me wrong, the one you picked works, but I like #8 better :).
