Very rock n roll :lol:

Seriously, as both a modeller and a rock fan, I can't help but love these figures. 8-)

I don't know anything about the band, but idea and figures are amazing! :)

I can try with Ramones or Skiantos!
Sometimes the talent consists exactly in that: try five dozen times when others stop at three dozen...! (F.Labelle)
I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

This has to be some of the most creative conversion work I've seen in a long long time. Very cool!

(Must dig mine out !)
The best thing, is to keep on building. Clap your hands, stamp your feet, wiggle your fingers…

Well, I started the Quireboys at 7 O'CLOCK and finished at I LOVE THIS DIRTY TOWN. :ha:
I could have finished sooner, I was trying to teach a chicken to cluck the tune, "Sunshine of your love" ......but all it wanted to do was Cross roads! :roll:
