What do you get when you put Obi-Wan Kenobi's hair on a zookeeper's face and tack on William Shakespeare's torso? Why Talk Back's Peter Christian of course!

While trapped inside during the impending snowpocalypse, I decided to weed through my extensive Lego collection to build the KGVO studio. The first step, of course, was to build the show hosts.

I'll try to build the actual studio next week, complete with mics and radio tech, but for now you'll just have to enjoy Peter in all of his maroon-sweatered brilliance.

Easily the toughest features to capture where Peter's Griz sweater (Lego doesn't make Griz-wear as far as I know) and my goatee. I got the maroon sweater by tearing Shakespeare's arms off and putting them on backward, but the goatee required a dry-erase marker. Here's a pic of the  mini-figures I used, see if you can see where I got the parts.
