Kabaya Ghost Stories in LEGO!¬

Late last year I went to a Japanese grocery store in my neighborhood and¬
purchased a few of the Kabaya candy Lego sets (the dinosaur and Star Wars¬
series). There I noticed another Kabaya series of candy toys about Japanese¬
ghost that were created by an artist named Takaki Yamamoto. Each box¬
contained a small random vignette-type scene, a short story about the scene¬
and a piece of chewing gum. Intrigued by the idea of making Lego versions, I¬
purchased one of each from the set and got busy creating them.¬

There are five stories in all. Read the read-me files for a translation of¬
each story and more information.

The Five Stories:¬

Under the Graveyard>¬ <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=120496
The Oiran's Ghost>¬ <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=120499
The Marathon Running Ghost>¬
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=120500 Chased By the Ghost
Nurse>¬ <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=120501 The Woman Who
Ran On All Fours>¬

I hope you enjoy them!¬

I don't care if i'm the third person in a row to say this...but, WoW!!!

Really good stuff man.

You accuracy from those candy toy to Lego bricks is precise and excellent.

Well done, good capture of mood... you managed to grasp the eerie and creepy
feel that the Japanese do so well in the Ring, and the Grudge.


   Gee, that's great stuff!

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the stories and looking at the mocs. I don’t think I would have every described a lego creation as creepy before. Well done. All of them are nicely built with nifty techniques. In particular, I like the hinges used in the tunnel. And poor “O”, he looks stretched by the experience.
