Posted January 11, 200916 yr I finally got my hands on a few indiana jones set and I just couldn't help see the resemblance. It really is striking. I can't wait to get the shanghai chase set for that black fedora. Then it will be just perfect. So here it is, Terry Pratchett himself LEGOised accurate down to the leather jacket and the darker shade of gray in the moustache. He's even got the round glasses... Now we just have to wait for a Discworld theme (I hope I put it in the right forum, but I never quite know where that kind of topic is suposed to go...)
January 11, 200916 yr Great work. I think this belongs in the Minifig Customization Workshop...but one never knows when it comes to Discworld
January 11, 200916 yr I think that has to be one of the most accurate minifig version of a person I've ever seen. Very cool.
January 11, 200916 yr I'm a bit of a fan of Prachett, too, but I never would've figured out this obvious resemblance. So well done on finding it out!
January 12, 200916 yr I love Discworld, and anything Terry Pratchett, and I must say that that is a very striking resemblance. Thanks for sharing! Hmmm, a Lego Squeak would be interesting...
January 12, 200916 yr I just started reading them a month ago, and am already in the 7th book! Very nice, good idea and very well done! I have been debating a Discowrld creation forever. (Forever in this case is the month since I started reading them
January 13, 200916 yr Hey hey! Darn right "best writer there is!" There's a reason my small regiment of old school Imp Guards are called the In and Outs! I showed the pic of the minifig to my sister (who is also a Pratchett fan, but not so much a Lego fan), and it made her grin, so it's obviously recognizable! I actually got to meet him October '07 , and I gotta say, the resemblance is downright scary (but in a good way). Kudos on a fine minifig! Cheers -Nich
January 13, 200916 yr Doesn't look a thing like Douglas Adams... Ok, fine, it's a good Pratchett, it really is.
January 13, 200916 yr nice.i like the glasses. how you make them? He didn't, it's just Sean "Henry Jones" Connery's head from the Indiana Jones series. LOL Unless you mean Pratchett's actual glasses, in which case I assume he went to an optometrist!
January 13, 200916 yr Author Doesn't look a thing like Douglas Adams... Ok, fine, it's a good Pratchett, it really is. glad we at least agree on what a good writer is, if not on the who but to my shame, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Douglas Adams... hmmm, needs mulling over...
January 13, 200916 yr Perfect job, which I will shamelessly copy this week. I intended to recreate the Discworld after the end of the lisence but i might pick it up faster. I'm definitly a Discworld fan as you can see in my name and sig. btw for the Dutch speaking fans please visit my Discworld fansite www.l-space.nl thanks
January 13, 200916 yr Great work, yellost! the resemblance is really impressive Now, to fill your lacunes you just need to look here . LuxorV
January 14, 200916 yr Doesn't look a thing like Douglas Adams... I clicked this forum expecting a Douglas Adams minifgure. Hahahah.
