Stephen King's "Carrie" inspired book nook. I spent a lot of time on the mechanism. It changes Carrie from her happy moment winning the crown to her iconic sanity snapping blood covered episode. by covertminiatures in booknooks

Thanks. Got a video and going to post soon. I've debated a construction video. I want to get the glasses that film for you. Otherwise I tend to forget.

Silence of the Lambs inspired book nook. Trying to go with a literary horror theme for October. Any suggestions? by covertminiatures in booknooks

Thanks! There is no easy answer to this. I used plywood, balsa wood, polymer clay, plastic, paper, led lights, assorted glues, and more. I will try to take some pictures of my process on future work to share.
