Hey,
More Saully goodness.
Philistines Try to Keep Weapons Out of Hands of Israelites - I like how you
varied the heights on Saul’s family. The tiled floor is nice in that scene, but
the small square gaps are annoying. Plus there are four 1x1 plates in the very
front that are slightly askew. I’m sure the minifigs would always be tripping
over those. I do really like the blacksmith shop. The quoting George Bush at
the end seems heavy handed.
Saul Rejected for Seeking God’s Favor - Lots of great big army scenes in this,
but my favorite picture is the people hiding - particularly the well for some
reason. Ooh, trans fishies! I like Saul’s sacrifice scene a lot - the balance
is good between the altar, the flame, the bones and the blood on the ground.
Slaughter of the Philistines - Jonathan’s armor bearer reminds me of Patsy from
the Holy Grail. Was that intentional? In the “complete accordance with your
heart”, I wish there had been some way to use clickit hearts rather than the
drawn-in hearts. Probably my favorite pic in this story is
this one, with the guy looking at his severed hand in confusion.
Jonathan is cursed - I really like the forest scenes. The use of soft focus is
really good at making it look like the forest stretches on and on. Nice
honey-on-a-stick solution, but for some reason the croissants look more like a
brain on the ground than a bee hive to me. In
this
pic the detached arm doesn’t quite work.
War on all sides - Great battle pics all around. I’m not a huge fan of the
tire-heads, but the action is all great - particularly the severed amonite head
and the killing of three philitines with one sword-thrust.
God Commands Amalekite Genocide - I see a couple more places where Saul would
trip on his floor. Lots of ABS violence here. The scene of Saul and his army
marching into town and the “No, not the children” scene are particularly well
done.
Saul Rejected for Incomplete Genocide - I love the “what is that bleating and
mooing I hear?” scene. I imagine Saul saying “Cattle? What cattle?” Saul’s
such a weasel. The scene where he kneels is nice.
Anyway, all good stuff. Isn’t Saul getting a headache after all this killing?
Time for David to make an appearance.

| (...) I can't believe I missed the opportunity to title my post about the first set of Saul stories "Saul About the Benjaminites". That would have been awesome. My girlfriend came up with that one a week too late. (...) Well, Saul's just starting (...) (18 years ago, 3-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
