Hey Brendan,
Great stuff as always. You should do some vigs along with your chapters, btw.
:)
Moabites--
3:12 Awesome idol, esp the onion dome.
King Eglon--Great fig idea. I saw the post above about the difficulty with the
arms, which is too bad. I wish there was a way to make a fig like this that was
sturdy enough to move around. 3:14 The upside-down baseplate works really
well here, esp the stairs. Are the black and brown beards painted, or did you
get those at Legoland or something? Ehud - I’m not so sure I like the black
arms. Perhaps if there were black legs to match. 3:16 - I agree, those technic
bits make good logs. 3:18 - the real standout in this chapter,
construction-wise, is the incorporation of the bricks with technic axel holes in
the floor pattern. Very nice. The throne and the red lattices in subsequent
pics are also very nice. 3:23 is kind of escher-esque in that with all the snot
my eyes keep wanting to make different directions “up”. And, of course, any good
BT story ends with a slaughter. Again I like the jumper plate as shoulders for
the guy in the river.
Philistines--
Not much here to comment on. I’ve said before that I’m not a big fan of the
tubing-as-arms solution. In the first pic the raised arm looks okay, but the
left arm in that and the second pic would, IMO, be better as normal fig arms.
Any chance of a future signing in LA?
Bruce
