Another Lego 'Ghost Story for Christmas' Diorama

Monday, February 12, 2024

Working on my second Christmas Ghost Story. Can anyone guess the story or author, or both?

Lego Signalman Update

Wednesday, February 07, 2024

My Signalman diorama is slowly improving:

Still no contact from the biologic team so I'm gonna ring the hospital tomorrow. If its going to take much longer I may need to go back on the Methotrexate as my condition is worsening every day. To take my mind off things, I'm continuing work on my Lego Dickens' Story 'The Signalman'. The train hasn't shown up yet but I've worked a bit on Signal House and landscape. The signal house may change but I'm happy with how things are progressing with the diorama... "Halloa! Below there!"

Lego Project 2 - Ghost Stories for Christmas

Monday, February 05, 2024

As I have already noted, my Lego Guy N Smith dioramas have now reached an end. But I'm still having fun with the hobby. It's a very meditative activity and continues to really help in taking my mind off my illness as I await the start of my fortnightly jabs. And so I have given myself a second Lego challenge, which is: Scenes from BBC2's Ghost Stories for Christmas. Despite waiting for a crucial part of my next diorama, I have already made a start with its construction:

Lookout for your copy of the book during Summer 2024. Though, as I'm writing this, I've just thought of another interesting chapter that might well be interesting to include in the zine. This would throw the publication date back a little though. Hmmmmm..?

Guy N Smith - Throwback, Thirst & Wolfcurse (Lego Cover Versions)

Saturday, February 03, 2024

Working on these Lego versions of Guy N Smith bookcovers is proving to be far more fun than grafing on the final draft of Cold Comfort. Luckily for my next novel, I should finish these GNS covers over the weekend. Then it's back to wordsmith...

Guy N Smith - The Trucker & Truckers 2 (Lego Cover Versions)

Friday, February 02, 2024

Well, Evri finally delivered by Lego lorry. Several happy hours later I had added two new Lego book reproductions for my upcoming new zine The Imaginarium, the first issue of which will concentrate on Guy N Smith:

Waiting on Evri...

Wednesday, January 31, 2024

I was hoping for a lorry Lego kit I managed to pick up for a fiver on eBay to arrive today, but Evri let me down. So my Lego version of Guy N Smith at his computer and cover for Trucker and Truckers 2 will have to wait until at least tomorrow. What did I do instead? Well, I did a Lego version of the Great Scribbler himself, an explosion scene from Doomflight and a Lego cover version of Crabs' Moon:

Guy N Smith - Satan's Snowdrop (Lego Version)

Tuesday, January 30, 2024

My GNS Lego project for my upcoming Guy N Smith fanzine is progressing nicely. Working at these set-ups has helped take my mind off my health woes this last week or so, and I have a few more to keep me busy. My novel, Cold Comfort, is also progressing nicely and is ahead of schedule. Expect the latter to be published at the end of March 2024 and the former to be available by the close of June... In the meantime, here is my completed Lego version of Guy's Satan's Snowdrop:

Kleenex was used for the ground mist, whilst incense smoke provided the air fog.

Today's Lego diorama attempt. Tried a few different heads and had to make do, as Lego just doesn't get that pulp horror look right, lol.

Guy N Smith - The Puto Pact (Lego Cover Version)

This was one of my more difficult book covers to recreate using lego:

The Pluto Pact by Guy N Smith

Lego mini-plates with lego chains

I used the Grunge feature on my mobile phone
camera to grittify the cube

Stehen King - Salem's Lot (Lego Version)

Sunday, 21 January, 2024

My lego version of the scariest scene ever filmed - the floating vampire boy in his pyjamas scratching at the bedroom window in Salem's Lot. Scroll down through the photos to see how I achieved the effect of floating and how I managed to leave enough light through the side of the piece to give the boy an ethereal glow.
