Johnny Cash LBC concept...

DanOfTheDead · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 4:15 pm

The Red Star head always looked like it was supposed to be John Wayne to me, but when I put it on a movie Sabertooth body it just screamed Johnny Cash to me. I added some darkness under the eyes to see if it made it look a little more like him.

Am I crazy, or is it a pretty good likeness for a younger Johnny Cash? I'm trying to decide if I like it enough to keep working on it... I really like the idea of a gunslinger Johnny Cash as part of "dream team" group of figures. He'll need a guitar though.

I want to kiss you except that I don't have any of those parts and thus can't do this myself, thus I'm too sad to kiss anyone.

Give the hair a good coat of gloss black and you have a winner

Yeah that works for me.

That Red Star head is much more versatile than I'd thought.

Awesome. Black hair would put it over the top.

No, what would put it over the top is a Desperado style guitar/gun case. Very good start.

Oh damn, now I'm not going to be happy till I can find or make one of those.

He might also need a guitar/sword combo like in Six String Samurai (but then I'd be too tempted to do a SSS Buddy Holly).

Thanks for the feedback guys, if I'm not the only one who sees the likeness he's definitely a keeper for me.

The McFarlane Toys Crow had a guitar not sure if it would be too big.

Yeah, that looks disturbingly like Johnny Cash. Just give him the black hair.

Wait, are you talking about lips or figure parts?

I don't see the Johnny Cash resemblance though. I'm getting more of a Marv from Sin City look.

Cashtacular!

If you make a John Tesh figure, I'll say "Teshtacular!" Just think about it, okay?

wow, that's really cool, man.

all he's missing is a ring of fire.

That's sweet. Works for me.

I thought of that the second I saw this. But it would be too big. He's sitting on my desk at home, and the guitar is perfectly sized for him, and he has about 2-3 inches on any Joe figure.

Well, now I know what to do with my Red Star head.

another option (if you have a scroll saw or coping saw) would be to print out a black acoustic 1:18 scale guitar and glue it to a 1/2 piece of wood -- cut around it, paint the sides & back black, tie on a string & WIN!
