Point taken.

Needed something to tie the rope around for the spies' descent--as well as
something to conceivably tie the scarlet cord to (although that will never
actually be shown).

D'oh! Hadn't even thought of that.

They're feeding troughs from one of the DUPLO animal sets.

It *is* a lot of tall blue slopes. It's hard to tell from the angle it's
photographed at, but the parted river set is about 3.5 feet in length. I
actually built it to be a new version of the parted Red Sea for Exodus--although
that new version is not yet online. Not sure you'll like the new version any
better, since it's still flat walls of water, but I like think it's an
improvement.

Maybe. That's one of those faces, like Flex from Alphateam, that seems to me
can either be expressing great excitement or great fear.

That is the "bandit" from the same World City set mentioned above.

I will be starting work on that presently!
Thanks for the comments,

| Hey Brendan, Great stuff as always. Spies and the Prostitute: I wouldn't have done the sex scene, but oh well. The blue and yellow room in 2:2 is great, especially the blue axles in the yellow bricks with axle hole--great little detail. I'm not a (...) (22 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
