Oh dear, something where ending up in a Fireball is considered a good outcome. I shudder to think what a bad outcome might be

Work has commenced with the selection of body parts, plastic rod and the purchase of some sparkly blue card. There is a lot of shaving off of original details and slight reshaping of chins and brows to get closer to the faces of the real people that I'm hoping to represent. Not that much difference is visible at this stage, more so once I start slapping on Milliput

Seeing what you've done so far I get the 'Fireball' reference now, Deep Purple?

I wish I had a (mental) picture of the originals, to better appreciate the work going on here. Any pictures of what your aiming for you can post or link to?Purplethistle wrote:You win the prize, Tim!TimJ wrote:Seeing what you've done so far I get the 'Fireball' reference now, Deep Purple?

There are only two still photos that I know of Deep Purples appearance on Top of the pops in December 1971 playing the song 'Fireball' Apparently "the video of that edition of the show did not survive..." although I suspect it's more likely that edition was presented by some DJ who is now Persona non grata.rob_van_riel wrote:I wish I had a (mental) picture of the originals, to better appreciate the work going on here.

Whilst using the photo as a guide for clothes and equipment, I'll be representing the start of the song with it's lively drum and bass intro.
........the 'Add photo' seems to have gone AWOL, I'll post the photo tonight from home

....as promised, the occasion that I'm hoping to represent (Note- I didn't say copy......the base figures would require just too much surgery)
....and more progress

Black Sabbath, Queen or Lynyrd Skynyrd next please, for an aging rock fan.
As usual, stunning work well beyond my capabilities.

Funny you should mention those bands, General, I was just thinking that the head I used for Jon Lord could also work for Tony Iommi and the trolley jack guys arms would convert to Ozzys 'Peace salute' .....I'll really need to get at least one more Race Team set, especially as they're wearing flaresgeneral rocket wrote:Black Sabbath, Queen or Lynyrd Skynyrd next please, for an aging rock fan.

Skynyrd are a must someday, Early Queen too......and Aerosmith......and Whitesnake......and UFO....
....and.....etc.
