Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games...

[Gluteus Maximus]

Something I've been working on since Velvet Revolver released "Libertad". Only 4 years or so 



Em4 bass player, with 6-string neck added and a green-stuff top-hat. CD jungle terrain, with aquarium and cake dec plants. Real rocks dry-brushed.

Bugger, I've just realised I need to add the silver disc decorations to the hat 

Finished in about another year, then.....

Haha that's brilliant though when I saw him play with VR he was just going topless..

That was a good gig I was well past drunk 

Anyway excellent mini..

[Svennn]

Nice one GM. Some neat greenstuff work and painting from the man who claims not to be able to do anything of such ilk

You just need to start listening to proper guitarists now

[carrma]

Hey--nice work on the conversion.  Love the paint job on the guitar.  Is he taking a shot at Axl?

[Gluteus Maximus]

Thanks chaps! He actually looks better enlarged than at 28mm. Don't know how that happened 

As for Axl, I couldn't possibly comment, but after having to wait a couple of hours for him to deign to show up for a GnR gig back in the early 90's, you could be right.

Svennn, I know you prefer Bert Weedon Michael Schenker to Slash, but surely you can't mean that 

 

Now, inspired by a post on another thread, I'm off to look for a 28mm Alice Cooper and then possibly a Lemmy.......

Whooooa! Great stuff and couldn't agree more with Svennn.
...... and he is right about the guitarist too

I do worry - doesn't drink tea, no musical taste. Sometimes I despair 

 

Thanks!

[manatic]

Brilliant idea and nice execution to boot

Yes, just had my double espresso and croissants for breakfast, feeling very continental this morning

[Gluteus Maximus]

Great Gluteus M!

Can we expect a small series? Clapton with an AK 47, Knopfler with a RPG? Hendrix with thermo-nuclear device? That would be sooooooooooo cool.

That is sort of what I'm aiming for. They are either going to be the daftest rock band ever, or a pretty cool near-future criminal gang. Hmm, Hendrix.  Now then, RHA pelisse and lots of green-stuff for the hippy bits, or maybe a Vietnam-era US Airborne uniform, M16 in right hand, guitar in left, with ban-the-bomb badges etc. Definitely a good idea

Rammstein with flamethrower attachments might be a bit out of my league, though 

[Malamute]

Now thinking about of fine guitarists the late Stevie Ray Vaughn would be an excellent figure to do. low crowned black sombrero,poncho with a 57 Strat and being a Texan a Colt 45 Peacemaker.

Then you'll get my seal of approval for guitar heroes and I'll forgive you for the lack of musical taste slur

 I take it all back (except the tea-drinking bit). Oh yes! A brilliant guitarist, greatly missed.  His version of "Little Wing" is amazing :





Finding the right figure shouldn't be too difficult. The guitar may be, though. I need to have a model with one and then convert rather than try and sculpt my own. Thinking about it, that could be a problem with the whole of my project 

Doug at Em4 could find himself with a large order for axe-men 

[Blackwolf]

Nah,this is the Man!


     

[Gluteus Maximus]

Nah,this is the Man

He is one cool customer! Makes the Fonz look like a complete nerd!

Damn right he was brilliant. I was very fortunate to see him at the Hammersmith Odeon on the Live Alive tour in circa 1987 I think? he was Effing fantastic. One of the best gigs I have ever been to. 

This thread has got great potential. I think Black Scorpion already produce a Jimmy Hendrix.
How about Hank Marvin
