Hi, Marc.

Thanks for the quickly-produced comments. But I guess you’ll have to try harder to if you want to beat Speedy Gon-Hietbrink to the punch.

Just the sort of Baal that might tempt anyone away from worshipping Yahweh. :)

Hey, that’s a pretty cool use for them too.

   but this is an really nice use. The neat thing about it is that you can put another pattern underneath the turntable bases.

Sure, you could use different colored 2x2 bricks or plates underneath them to get more intricate patterns.

   Jg 9:30-31: The undersides of the bricks make an interesting accent in the walls.

Yeah, it’s one of those things where it would be pretty hard use to a technique like that and build a MOC with good overall structural integrity, but with my quick-and-dirty Brick Testament sets that are only shown from one or two angles, it’s a lot easier to experiment with weird building techniques like that.

   Jg 9:48: Pretty horrific.

Glad I captured what I was going for, then.

   Great stuff, as usual.

Thanks, Marc.
