Three Great Gatsby vignettes

[eNiGMa]

I read F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby a few months ago and loved it, but have just now gotten around to vignettizing it. For those of you who haven't read it, it takes place in New York during the 1920s.

Enter Gatsby

The narrator, Nick, meets Jay Gatsby at one of the man's summer parties.

A Gambler by Profession

Gatsby takes Nick to lunch and introduces him to Meyer Wolfshiem, a gambler who rigged the 1919 Baseball World Series. I pictured Wolfshiem with a long beard, but since the book doesn't really say anything about the beard I imagined, I settled for a Danju head.

The Man with the Yellow Car

After his wife is run over and killed by a yellow car, George Wilson goes looking for the driver. Coincidentally, Gatsby is keeping the car in his garage for a friend of his--the real driver. This mistaken identity leads to Gatsby's death in his swimming pool, and Wilson kills himself on the scene.

The Great Gatsby is indeed a good book. I read it about two weeks ago. All of the vignettes are well done. Number 3 is my favorite. Where are Tom and Daisy? They played important roles. Oh well. :-P

Vig on!

Fanastic.

I was worried when I saw this thread title. There's one bit everyone remembers from Gatsby, and it isn't suitable for Lego!

But seriously really good. This sort of this epitamises why Lego is the best toy ever. The variety of stuff you get astounds me even to this day.

Where are Tom and Daisy?

I was going to do a vig of Daisy running Myrtle down, but I was having a really hard time coming up with a good enough car for a vig. Woulda been nice, though, eh?

Thanks for all your comments!
