Excellent beheadings!

I have a quibble with “Gideon and His Sons”. The ephod was a priestly garment - “a ‘skirt’ with two shoulder straps, to which the golden breastplate was attached, and a belt to tie it in front”. Your depiction looks more like a statue or idol.

Based on the only picture I could find, this piece in yellow would seem like a better choice to represent the ephod.

BTW, I just bought The Ten Commandments - are there any plans for another Brick Testament?
