wandering around the tom robinson site (long story) i found a link to pics of bible stories done in lego. actually, they are mostly rather violent. many of the captions refer to the blood shed in the story, e.g. "david decapitates goliath" rather than the usual basic namechecks. i started out liking the idea, and ended up not liking the site. i think you can find it for yourselves at brick testament dot com if you must. on the other hand, i did like the shards in this pic.
