Bethel: In 1:25 I really like the steps going down. Your MOCs usually start
on a baseplate and go up, so it’s nice to have one with depth.
|
Definitely. It’s a lot more time consuming to build with a ground level and
then go below that, but it is a nice change of pace. Within this same set of
stories, I also used upside down raised basplates to accomplish the same effect
here
and
here, but that’s almost like cheating.
| |
In the last pic, it’s nice that the baby also follows the Bethel color scheme.
|
I generally try to have the babies swathed in the proper colors, but maybe this
time it stood out a little more.
| |
Those not massacred: In 1:29, that wall that incorporates arches is
outstanding! Also the railing at the top using headlights.
|
Thanks. I took so many photos of that scene, trying to capture it just right.
And I ended up deciding to go with a vertical shot, which makes it only maybe
the 3rd or 4th vertical shot in the whole Brick Testament site. I like the
design of the Gezer city wall, but was worried it might look a little too much
like a dam. :)
| |
Purple arms look nicer with tan than orange, btw.
|
Yes, the Asherites aren’t known for their fashion sense, whereas the Zebulonites
are pretty debonair.
| |
In 1:33, the guy in the deepest water using
the jumper plate is great. Have you done that before, or did you just use a
head and arms?
|
I don’t think I’ve use the jumper plate for shoulders-above-water before. I
thought it looked pretty good.
| |
I like the amorites’ strategy in 1:35. :)
|
Have to keep these battle scenes interesting. :)
| |
God sells...: I really like the “life” in the first scene. The building in
the back left of that pic is really nice. I didn’t reallize bread came in so
many colors.
|
I didn’t realize I had bread in that many colors either until I set up this
shot.
| |
The idols in 3:7 are clever.
|
They were roughly based on what images or sculptures have been found of “baals”
and “asherahs” from ancient canaan.
| |
God lifting Othniel is funny.
|
I never know just how literally to interpret phrases like “Yahweh raised up a
deliverer” or “Yahweh handed over the king to the Israelites”. I suppose it
leaves a lot of room for illustrative interpretation, but sometimes erring on
the side of too-literal is too amusing to pass up. :)
