Very nice, Lenny. I agree with others that the tree and the fresco statues are the highlights, but these are overall just very good scenes. I like how you've outfitted Buddha with the cloaks and red rubber bands. Looking forward to more in this (...) (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Hey Lenny, These are awesome! My favorite details are the tree in the Buddha scene (how sturdy is that, btw?) and the statues etc above the stairs in the Greek temple. I'm looking forward to seeing the further installments in this series. Bruce (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
