Way too much in fact. So much that I had to buy a 5-piece luggage set (3 suitcases, a handbag, and a toiletries bag) and all 3 suitcases were basically packed full of LEGO.

I never used them before in a sculpture. The only other one I made with a belt was my <a href="http://bill.wards.net/blosxom/lego/models/sculpture/holidays/st-patricks-2004.html" rel="nofollow">Leprechaun</a> which doesn't have them. I based the design on <a href="http://www.randomdice.com/games/talisman/faeries/characters/Faerieland_characters_01.htm" rel="nofollow">this gnome</a> but changed the pants to blue as I didn't have enough brown bricks handy.

I may have to try to do one for my sister who has a love/hate relationship with garden gnomes. Perhaps I will build it and leave it in her garden one night. :) I escpecially love the detail of the belt loops. Many would simply ignore them so well done! Very nice.
