I’ve been focusing on vignettes for a while, but this weekend I thought I’d try building a bunch of new minifigs.
Here’s the crew of the Pequod from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick:
(A note on Captain Ahab: This minifig is an essentially unmodified Hovercraft Pilot from 7045 Hovercraft Hideout. The head even has a scar that spans his face, just as Melville describes. I almost think the designer at LEGO had Captain Ahab in mind when developing this minifig.)
Here’s the title character from Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe:
And links to several more:
Philip Marlowe from Raymond Chandler’s series of detective novels
Henry Fleming (“The Youth”) from Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage
Santiago (the title character) from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea
Winston and Julia from George Orwell’s 1984 (my favorite book)
Jim and Huck from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Billy Pilgrim from Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five
More to come soon.
