Hey Brendan,
Great work as usual.
God Uses Midianites to Oppress Israel - The coolest pic in this story is the
second one. The Jack Stone columns behind the inverted arches makes an
interesting wall, and the mosaic floor is very cool. In the first pic, the
couple in the back left are particularly well posed--it really looks like he’s
whispering something to her.
Gideon Demands a Sign - I like the tool you’ve created out of an ice-axe and
bar. Of course it is of limited poseability--perhaps if they were connected by
a lightsaber hilt? The flame effect works really well. Why is Gideon standing
on the rock at the end?
Gideon Commits Vandalism - What is the angled piece to the right of Gideon’s bed
in the first two pics? The altar to Baal is very cool--good use of the
headlights. I probably mentioned this before, but the Ashera pole design is
also very good.
Gideon Demands More Signs - Good solutions for the fleece and the dew. Gideon
squeezing out the water into the bowl is particularly effective. I had to laugh
at God with the watering can.
120,000 Midianites Killed - In 7:8,17-18, are the tents in the background just
black capes? Nice effect. The field of corpses in 8:10 is very effective (is
that verse right? it’s out of order). In 8:4, the varying heights works well to
show the Israelites coming up out of the water. Interesting tower in 8:8--I’d
like to see better pictures of that. The best pic in this story, though, is
8:10-11 with the Israelites leaping down on the Midianite army. I assume the
horizontal legs on those leaping figs are stuck onto hidden headlight bricks?
Gideon Slaughters His Own People - In 8:17, how did you do the stream of blood
from the upper left figure? Is that just trans-red 1x1 tiles stacked against
eachother leaning up against the wall? If so, how many times did that fall down
during photography? :)
Gideon and His Sons - I really like the action shot with the spurting heads
(hmm, not sure what that says about me) - very “Kill Bill”-esque. The huge pool
of blood in the next pic is also quite effective. In 8:26, why use 1x1 yellow
round plates rather than gold coins? Just piece availability? I’ll second
Marc’s question on the ephod design. In the last pic, what is the source of
Gideon’s wife’s head?

| (...) Thanks, Bruce. (...) I'm not sure why I got wrapped up in creating mosaic patterns out of headlight bricks before trying the simpler idea of creating them out of regular ol' bricks and plates. I guess the headlight mosaics have the nice (...) (20 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
