Lego W.i.Ps

X2 Lego horror builds I am working on: Guy N Smith's Hangman and Hammer's best movie - Vampire Circus:

The Lego Skull I have working on over the Easter weekend slipped and shattered across the living room in an explosion of tiny white bricks, just as I was setting down the completed model! I haven't got the heart to go through the instructions again so I am gonna rebuild from memory. I do not need the top of the head nor the back, so I can use those to elongate the skull's face and do some other detailing needed. Frustrating but, all well.

Lego Skull

 I spent the whole of Good Friday making this:

This is the 1st stage of the construction completed. There is still a lot of work to do on it, but this is what I am trying to create in a Lego:

The Guy N Smith Lego Project Continues

Lego Arm Dynamist Secret Giveaway

Back on the Blocks

Working through it

Having to take a few days off work with a downturn in my health, I spent the day playing Lego and witing an introduction for one of my favourite books... 

A Lego Space Odyssey

GNS Lego Time Again

Time 2 Play

I guess it's that time again...

Shelf Work

Today was a quiet day. My biggestcachievent was starting to tidy my bookshelves:

My Seth's Crimbo Ghost Stories

I finally disassembed by Lego M.R. James too:

X2 More SCGS Books

x2 more books added to my Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories collection. Iam now just x3 books away from completing the current range now. Those remaining books are all in order - with x2 en route from Uxbridge and x1 from America!

Looking through my collection, I had an idea. I have a box of Lego kicking around doing nowt these days. Wouldn't making Lego creations of the Seth drawings featured in these books make for a rather cool project? Hmmmmmm.

Lego Bargain

I picked these little fellas up for less that £20 for the lot. Not bad. Looks like my Lego constructing days are not over yet...

Little Sam Pedro is Chuffed

Little Sam Pedro seems well-chuffed with his flowering loph. As am I. 🙂

Cold Comfort Blues (Part 2) - Sorted

Monday, February 26, 2024 

Wow. My lovely daughter asked me to trawl through the attic for old pics of her with her old Pokemon toys. As I will do literally anything she wants, I obliged lol. And my reward? As I reached the end of over a 100 pages of old print outs of 20 year old digital pics, I came upon all the missing pages of my Cold Comfort novel, lost for over 20 years. Game on! And just as I was having fun working on my Guy N Smith zine lol.

 

Cold Comfort Blues (Part 1)

It's not looking good for Cold Comfort meeting it's March 31 deadline. My DVD reader seems to think all my old Data CDs are blank. Which they aren't as I accessed then in the past. I will try them in another drive but I'm not feeling too hopeful at finding those missing two chapters. And, to be honest, I'm not in the mood for rewriting 10,000 words of content I last read 26 years ago. Yet. And so, I'm moving on with my GNS project early... Click pic to see it properly as fb insists on cutting a large section of the image off its preview.

GNS - Trucker/Thirst Redesigns

Saturday, February 24, 2024

Saturday, February 24, 2024

Took me 3 attempts to get this one to my liking - a fusion of two Guy N Smith Books The Trucker & Thirst.

Original version, before realising that a truck carrying deadly weedkiller would more likely be a tanker

Tanker redesign, but I wanted the tanker to sink further into the water - note the glimpse of weedkiller spilling from the rear of the tanker

3rd version, using less bricks, and a deeper build, allowing to view beneath the water surface

Underwater view of the crashed tanker. The weedkiller is more apparent now. Just need to add more spillage to the underwater scene now...

Lego GNS Update

Friday,  February 23, 2024

Working on another section of my expanding Guy N Smith Lego diorama. When complete, this will sit atop my GNS book, zine & manuscript bookcase. The trouble is, I keep finding ways of improving and adding to it...

My scary Salem's Lot diorama is now a smaller double-sided cube lol. Makes for a great book nook on my Stephen King shelf.
