Hey Brendan,
Another great job. Some thoughts:
7 Kingdoms:
10:28 - I love that floor! Was this patterned after Erik Amzallag's stained
glass window design?
10:28 part 2 - Great town. I like the red and blue accents and that odd-shaped
window particularly. I'm not a fan of the custom hairpiece on the statue, but
that's a personal preference thing.
10:31 - I love the use of minifig legs as crennelations. The wall is
interesting, too, with those cutout shapes.
Lots of great architectural details in the next few towns--the use of grill
bricks in Lachish, the collumnade and the good use of that useless HP tower
piece in Eglon (BTW, Eglonese men have breasts?!?!), the mosaic floor and
interesting arch in Hebron. I love your new innovation for running legs built
with headlight bricks that first shows up in 10:37 (or have you done this
before?)
22 Kingdoms:
I like the half-stud offset wall details in Hazor's palace. I'm not sure what
the pot with a katana is supposed to be next to his desk, though. Ooh, chariots
again. Once again, thanks for your design on those. I like the rotated 1x1 as
emblem. In 11:11 I don't like the town as much as those above--too many flat
white walls I suppose. I do like the detail in the top middle where you've got
alternating 1x1 plates on top and bottom of a plate. I'd love to see details of
the microfig city, btw.
One thing I would like to request. I'd love it if you made a page with photos
of different structures that show up in your scenes. I've found with my Tolkien
project, that sometimes I'll build a big scene, but when photographing it the
details of the scene are obscured--either because they are blocked by minifigs
or camera angle, or because in the story I choose a close-up shot that
highlights the minifigs but cuts a lot of architectural detail off to the sides.
So to make up for this I have a section called "Places" that just has bare
pictures of the different scenes, e.g.:
http://www.ozbricks.com/bricktales/lotr/lotrplaces/lotrplaces09/lotrplaces09-05.html
Anyway, I really like all of the care you put into your buildings etc, but
sometimes I'd like to see buildings from a different angle, etc, to see how you
put something together (or perhaps you've left things in the background out of
focus). If you didn't want to have this in your main Brick Testament site, you
could just put them in a Brickshelf gallery.
Bruce
