My 8-bit WOODEN Simon

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!

Wow, that's pretty impressive for a home-made figure. =) Seeing how good you are at doing that, maybe you should make other characters as well. Once again, great job! ;)

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.

Excellent. I like that a lot. Simon's Quest is one of my favorite games, too.

Nice job man! Way better than what mine would look like, if I didn't know you made it and I was just at your place and saw that I'd ask you at what store you bought it from. :)
