Hey Brendan,
Very cool. I’ve been away for a week and didn’t get much chance to go on-line.
I’m assuming the revamp is anticipation of another book? It’s great to see you
go back and redo some of these with all of the extra experience you’ve gained
since you started. You should keep the originals up on your site somewhere to
compare, perhaps in a section along with some of the “how did he do it?” photos
you’ve shared.
Jesus is baptised - Is that the head you used before for John the Baptist? Very
good as the wide-eyed zealot. I like how you’ve done the SNOT water a lot. One
bonus is that little edge of tan you get along the side that makes some more
texture in your shoreline. Jesus swims with his clothes on? Is that parrot
painted, or some odd-color part you got from a Model Builders Shop or something?
Both Bricklink and peeron don’t have white versions. How’s he staying up, btw.
Is that glue or is there some behind-the-scenes support?
Peter and company - Nicely done, though not a lot of build details to comment
on. The tree seems kind of cooly Dr. Seuss-esque, though I’m not sure I like
the grey.
J the B’s Head - What’s that torso on Herod? I like the throne room a lot and
that’s a great cave.
Peter and a slightly different company - The first shot in this section is
superb, with those tan buildings and the use of focus and the camera angle from
below. If you’re doing a book like “The ministry of Jesus” this could
definitely be the cover shot (as opposed to if you were also including the
Easter story, in which case you’ll want to go with something like the Last
Supper or the Crucifixion as a more iconic image). Good work getting different
looks with the nets, btw (no Spiderman white nets?).
Transmutation (Btw, did you ever see the King of the Hill episode where Bobby
did a Jesus’ miracles magic show for his Sunday School class?) - I love the pic
where Mary is holding the bottle saying “they have no more wine”. It makes
perfect LEGO sense but would never work for a person holding a bottle that big.
Nice idea for the water bottles with those ball-socket pieces.
Run out of town - I really like the synagogue. I recently did
a similar ceiling. I like the various forms of sitting women in 6:3. Great
perspective shot where the crowd is carrying him to the cliff. LOL on the guy
falling in the final shot.
Demons - Nice use of the Exo-force heads and very good photoshoppery on the
demons. At the front edge of the stage (as in 12:22), what is the part that
gives that grooved pattern? Nice choices on all the different demons, btw.
Matt and Levi - In the first pic I like the furniture a lot and also Jesus
peeking around the corner. Interesting scale idea. I’m not 100% convinced on
it, but I can’t think of a better solution.
Walks on water - I really like the way you did the stormy sea. Especially
contrasting with the all flat SNOT water in the other scenes.

| Hi, Bruce. Nice to have your comments again. (...) There's nothing in the works at this point. From what I've been able to gather, the first book (Stories from Genesis) sold very well, and initial sales of the Christmas book looked really good, but (...)
