Tribute to my sadly missed guitar playing brother

[dmcHobbes]

Hi

Following on from Naps review here https://www.planetfigure.com/thread...resents-guitar-legend-mr-jimi-hendrix.583522/

Did a conversion from the Jaguar Confederate figure in 1/9 scale.

Obtained a resin 1/6 scale Les Paul Sunburst Guitar from Posthumous Productions (my brother Scott had multiple guitars he used including this one). Converted it to 1/9 scale and cast the base with a resin mold. Added bits and pieces to make the rest.

Made the Lief of Lorion(?) for his neck as he was a Lord of the Rings fan. Gave it to him as a gift and he kidded me about the number of frets.
He did not look like the character's face (way beyond my talent).

Deceased since 2017, a younger brother gone way too early.

Nap thanks for pushing me to give this a try. I did not want to detract from your great review.

Nicely done model and a very clever conversion idea. It is good to have a physical memento like that, especially one that you did and your brother got to enjoy.

Thank you everybody for your kind remarks. Did tributes for my two older brothers many years ago. Marine Large Helicopter Pilot (Viet Nam deployed CH-53 Sea Stallion) and Navy Radar Plane Pilot (not Viet Nam deployed on USS Independence). Very little conversions done and no photos. They are still going strong!
Thanks again,
Doug

Excellent conversion, great idea, very well done, change weapons for guitars. As other said, very warm and emotive tribute to your brother.

Cracking piece of work and very cathartic to make it as a tribute I would imagine.

For me is it always a very emotional piece of art if you make a figure ore bust from someone you
have lost,that is the beautiful on that figure,I got also my great grandfather and it's very very important to have him
with you,a lot of memories,I must thank NAP (Kev) a lot that he have made my great grandfather

Give it a very special place your brother
