The other BFG players must be so jealous of these! Truly an example of creative genius! The escorts are a great touch to a fantastic piece.  Aug. 23, 2004, 01:43PM  By: BRIGUY385 You ....know I-LOVE-this. I know first hand how hard it is to build something out of blocks that weren't designed for the project in mind. First of all the blocks have to be perfectly cast and they have to fit seamlessly in order to give the impression of a manufactured of steel and not built of rock look. Secondly the paint job and basing have to be done differently in order to make them not look like buildings. You've done both of those things expertly. In one word.....SWEET Brian  Aug. 21, 2004, 06:26PM  By: BOSSMAN You are keeping good company with Brian. When I was a kid I use to love making little spaceships with lego and play out Star Wars or Battlestar Gallactica and these would have been 10 x as cool. (They are now that I'm old and grey!) These are all very cool - I never would have thought the gothic accesories could be used like this.  Aug. 21, 2004, 12:10PM  By: MALARKEY very imaginative and your painting suits perfectly... good job  Aug. 18, 2004, 06:02PM  By: DNDOPMAN A great use for the blocks! I liked this one alot. I think the paint job is good especially since the pieces are so small. Interesting to see what others can come up with. Great job. Keep up the great work!  Aug. 17, 2004, 11:43PM  By: YASSINE What can I say; a truly unique piece (or pieces) ! Cheers  Aug. 17, 2004, 06:30AM  By: GEBOOM I wander if Bruce ever thought of his creations being used in such a way as you did with this entry. He designs building blocks for churches and dungeons and then you turn up with a gothic battle fleet! You will impress many builders with this creation. At least I am impressed.

Those are tough to paint cleanly. This group must really look nice on display in your house. Good work!
