Monster Hunting in Lego !!!

This time courtesy of Jesse Willis over at SFFAudio

“Inspired by the first Jake Sampson serial and the recent fan art posted to the Jake Sampson blog, I’ve constructed my own Jake Sampson: Monster Hunter playset out of Lego!

Although it hasn’t been specified in the show so far I imagine that Jake Sampson purchased a prototype of the Grumman Goose. The period is almost exactly right for it, and Sampson is just the sort of wealthy American customer that actually commissioned the Goose’s creation. Based on that, and my enduring affection for this long running adventure series, I’ve been building a Lego version of the Jake Sampson airplane. Here they are: Texas Holdum, Jake Sampson, and Lucy Carter atop a Grumman Goose:”

Some Fan Art …

Jake Sampson Artwork by MadMikeyD
Artwork by By MadMikeyD

We just received the above fan art from a fan. Many thanks Mikey. Receiving artwork like this for one of our original shows is considered a real compliment. Thank You.

As I listen to the previous Jake Sampson episodes, I’m excited about new episodes on the way.

While listening to “Gods of War” I got a vivid picture in my head of the main characters, as should happen with all great audio drama. This is as close as my art skills would allow me to get. My interpretation of Jake Sampson, Texas Holdem, and Lucy Carter, shadowed by the evil Fu Manchu, of course.
