Can't help but agree. The "logo" and pyramid turned out quite awful - should have stylized more...

Now as you say it, I can see a pyramid too with lots of good will. What's more confusing was those pinkish spots at the bottom :twisted: ...

So next will be an Iron Maiden cover then. 8)

DaN, never do another runny watercolor-cover ever again!

Awesome! I'm picturing all of these getting used as drinks coasters in your 'man cave'. :D

Cheers guys :)

I haven't really found a proper use for them, other than nailing them up on the side of one of the record shelves...

The Voivod one I finished a while back - this one was finished yesterday:

The skull-pile was next to impossible to recreate so it's a bit of a mess in the middle. I'm totally pleased w/ the result when I squint my eyes though..

I didn't even know what "perler" was before this thread, but I love this kinda thing. I hope more people eventually join in.

Sorry about this DaN, it turns out your perler game needs to be raised considerably. Trust a Rush fan to take it way too far :lol: :

Seems someone has been doing something similar with lego with pretty impressive results:

There's an interview with the guy & more examples of his work at this interesting site: https://albumcoverhalloffame.wordpress. ... t-project/

I also went back & read through the oldeDuplo-Metal thread from a few years back earlier. Some great pix & comments there that had me laughing out loud: https://thecorroseum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8369

You can literally do anything with LEGO. Just came back from my vacation to LEGO House in Billund, Denmark - and they had an entire exhibition with album covers made in LEGO. Mostly Beatles, Rolling Stones etc, but all very authentic looking.
