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 (...) (18 years ago, 30-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Brendan, You already know how much I love your work, so I won't bore you with yet another "you're awesome" post from me. All I wanted to say is, "Dude, you have a ton of minifigs". Thanx for all that you do, and when is the next book? Scott (18 years ago, 30-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
