Thanks Alex. I think I mentioned "rape and pillage" in a previous post about the
Vikings. And then there are the Beserkers..... (that's where going beserk
originated from). Just go see the movie "Erik The Viking", a Viking comedy spoof
from the makers of the Monty Python series, a very funny yet informative movie.
Perhaps you can mention to them about a Greek or Roman theme. Those 2x2 round
bricks make great columns, and the low sloped bricks make great temple roofs. I'm
not sure if the Erik Wilson Acropolis Contest website is still intact, but for some
Greek designs you can check out my Neoclassic LEGO Art Museum - the first pictures
on my website:
