Title: My 8-bit WOODEN Simon
Post by: Mooning Freddy on October 23, 2007, 05:30:30 PM: After seeing all those Simon figures pictures in here, I couldn't help but make one of my own. Though it's different than the official ones, I think it came out pretty well.

The figure (as you probably figured out yourselves) is from "Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest".

Its sizes are 22*12 Cm (8.75*4.75 inch).
Made of two layers of wooden pieces, the bottom is an entire piece painted black, the top are 15 pixelized tetris-like pieces, painted white and Red. The paintjob isn't the best ever, but it's sufficient for me.

First one is a nice, from above photo of the figure. The keyboard gives you an idea of its size.

Next photo is taken from an angle, so you see it is two-layers.

The last one a vertical photo of Simon leaning against a glue bottle. ;D

SPECIAL THANKS TO: Forum member Efin, I took the sprite I used to make the figure from his site. Also, to Konami of course, for giving us inspirations for works of art!

Looks like the MSX2 Simon to me! :-*

Good work all the same!

No shit! You know how much effort it would take to make an Alucard sprite? I would need, like, 20 shades of black.

Post by: X on June 06, 2011, 05:01:35 AM: Wood, Lego and plastic... I'd have to wonder what else they can use to make an enlarged 8-bit Simon? Good job by the way!
