Hey Brendan, Great as always. Gibeonites enslaved: I like the gray color scheme you used. Why no gray hoods? Do you not have any of the newer Harry Potter sets, or is this an anti-bley sentiment? I didn't even reallize they made the dark bread. I'll (...) (20 years ago, 21-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
