The Enterprise Crew
And here's the complete collection. Lined up in Sudoku formation with one red, one blue and one green/yellow shirt in each column and in each...
Chekov
And finally, completing the set we have Mr Chekov, played by Walter Koenig. I can tell it¡s him; there's a chubby, baby-faced quality to him. But...
Chappell
Number eight in the enterprise crew is Nurse Chappell, played by Majel Barrett. Probably the worst likeness so far, but there's a fear there in...
Uhura
Next up in the Enterprise crew is Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols. Only two more to go now. The likeness still isn't perfect. I'm starting...
Scott
Back to the enterprise crew again and, with two blues, two yellow/greens and one red shirt to date, it's time for another red shirt. This is Mr...
McCoy
Only time for one portrait today after that book review and it's my first ever go at Doctor McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley. It's him but it's...
Kirk
Number 4 in the collection is Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner. Bill joins Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Big Sam Allardyce and me in the...
Rand
I realised last night that the nine in this collection will comprise three each of red shirts, blue shirts and green shirts. So that makes my...
Sulu
Second in the collection is Mr Sulu, played by George Takei. It looks like the first layer of colour is yellow but it's actually lime green. ...
Spock
These are tricky times. We're having one of our bathrooms done up over the next week or two and this means I'm not able to spend as much time in...
The Blues Brothers Band
So here's the complete Blues Brothers band. From left to right, along the top row, then the bottom, we have: Willie "Too Big" Hall, drums ...
Elwood Blues
And finally here's Elwood Blues, played by Dan Aykroyd. Again, black and white and simple shapes. But, unlike with Jake, I've wasted the...
“Joliet” Jake Blues
OK, the secret's out. After finding Blues Brothers on some satellite channel late at night twice last week, I had to get the band back together....
Alan “Mr. Fabulous” Rubin
Nearly there now. My horn section won't be complete without a trumpeter, so I'm looking to recruit this guy. Unfortunately Alan has a nicely...
Matt “Guitar Murphy” – Second Attempt
I wan't happy with my first go at Matt Murphy a couple of days ago. His right hand and left eye were all wrong and his face was looking too...
Willie “Too Big” Hall
What about a drummer? Every band needs a drummer. And I have Willie "Too Big" Hall. It was a tough choice beteween amethyst and a cool grey for my...
Tom “Bones” Malone
Continuing with filling out the horn section, we have Tom "Bones" Malone on the trombone. Tom came out OK and the collection is starting to come...
“Blue Lou” Marini
And here's number five in the collection. Time to build a horn section, starting with "Blue Lou" Marini in saxophone. This feels like the best...
Matt “Guitar” Murphy
I’m still putting the band together and it's another guitarist today. The next page Journal had a red mark somewhere in the middle, so I looked at...
