Stephen King Lego

Monday, 15 January 2024

I finally found a vampire head and white hands for my lego pyjama boy. Can you guess what Stephen King scene I am working on?

The (lego) Pony Riders by Guy N Smith

Sunday, 14 January, 2024

My latest Guy N Smith lego book cover image. I think I may keep the arm and face detail as it makes it more identifiable as lego 🤣 Just need to add the graphics now...

Lego Update

Sunday, January 07, 2024

Here is an update on a few of my ongoing Lego projects - my GNS graveyard, GNS Wolfcurse and Jefferson Airplane dioramas. All have a lot more work to do on them...

Look at her paws!

The Soosh is proud of catching a Lego rat for my diorama.

Waiting on the Flames

Just waiting on some Lego flames and a more suitable book before adding this to my GNS diorama (or Guyorama as it will now forever be known). Can you guess the novel I'm representing here?

GNS Lego - Thirst

Sunday, December 17, 2023

Just need to find a photo of some water from my pics for this one, then add the graphics. One of the easier photos lol.

GNS Lego - The Walking Dead

The graphics need a bit of a clean-up, but I'm happy with how this one is proceeding...

Guy N Smith Lego Covers - The Reaper

Saturday, December 16, 2023

Continuing my Lego cover versions of Guy N Smith books for the GNS fanzine I'll be publishing next year. Here's 'The Reaper'.

GNS Lego -The Man in the Black Fedora

GNS - Doomflight, Lego Recreation and Re-imagining

Saturday, December 09, 2023

Guy N Smith's Doomflight - my Lego recreation of its classic book cover (title graphics not yet added - you'll get to see that in the forthcoming fanzine) and my re-imagined Lego cover.

My Guy N Smith Lego project is progressing nicely, with photographs for The Dark One, Nightspawn, The Sucking Pit, Caracal, Werewolf by Moonlight, The Slime Beast, Alligators, The Camp & The Cadaver already in the bag. Still lots to go... but I am keeping the final pics of the Lego cover reconstruction (not my re-imaginings) for my forthcoming book exploring Guy's imagination. So if you want to see them, look out for the fanzine's publication sometime in the first half of next tear.

Now it's time for Doomflight. I will be recreating both the actual cover for this book, which is probably my favourite of Guy's book covers, as well as making my own cover version, which will feature the mysterious druids. As usual, watch this space...

GNS: Claws and Teeth

Thursday, December 07, 2034

I'm proud of my Lego Caracal, but I need to borrow his claws for my next Lego GNS cover shot -The Sucking Pit! I've been looking forward to constructing this one.

Tissue Works Better Than Incense

Monday, December 03, 2023

Well, incense was not a suitable substitute for graveyard mist, and I didn't fancy using smoke bombs in the house. So, thinking creatively, which is what this Lego project is all about, I'm using tissue paper instead. Sticking Lego to the base through tissue paper is not the easiest thing though, but it's done now. I need to figure out a way to light it effectively now. 🤔

Nearly there, despite fudjcat!

Guy N Smith - Ready for the 1st Photoshoots

Saturday, December 02, 2023

Finally ready to roll on the Lego version of the GNS The Slime Beast cover, I got cracking on it early.

I just need to find the font used on the original 70's book
now, and make a Lego version of the NEL logo. But
that's for another day...

With one photoshoot done and God knows how many more to go, I cracked on with a couple more shoots later in the day. Although I usually love the cover art of Guy N Smith's books, I'm not the greatest fan of the cover photography of my favourite two novels of his - Nightspawn and The Dark One. To be fair, they also aren't the easiest to reproduce in Lego form either. And so I've recreated two of the grimmer graveyard scenes in the books to make my own cover versions of horror novels.
