I saw that months ago. Its too small.. Its actually 1:9 scale.

But I did meet a guy who makes 1:6 musical instruments with whom I am talking to.. I'll let you guys know if its a go or not.

Alright, put me down for one. This is sounding awesome.

 

[pixletwin]

I got you added.

I'm in as long as he's John Lennon--not John Lennon from The Beatles.

Is there a different John Lennon?

YES! John Lennon was much more prolific as an artist, musician, and protester AFTER The Beatles broke up! I would want that version of Lennon, not one in a preacher-collared suit shakin his head 'round. And why would you want to commission someone to do a figure of one person, when you inevitably need the other 3. I'd love 1/6 Sgt. Pepper figures, but I'd want ALL 4, not just John.

And I think John would prefer the post-Beatles version also.

I am planning on getting all 4 eventually through this. I am hoping maybe Darren can make a basic Lennon sculpt which could be easily adjusted to resculpt as other versions of John as well. My personal goal is to end up with 7 versions of him (Hamburg, Moptop, Pepper, Abbey Road, Imagine, Walls and Bridges, and the final John either being Double Fantasy or the style he sported the night he died which was similiar to Hamburg.. would bring it full circle pretty nicely).

So are you "in" or "out" Slade?

 

[orbitingx]

Pending on the ability to tweak the sculpt and the current rate of exchage (USD to the Pound).

I would be down for one.

I would love to have a dio of Abbey Road with all four them

I'm "in" for now.
Shut UP, wallet!

 

[pixletwin]

Hmmm, tempting.

So are you in or out Batty?

 

[metaphorge]

Me interested.

 

[pixletwin]

Welkome aboard.

These guitar are too big I think (9 inches-does that sound too big?) but I am going to contact the guy who makes them and see if we can get them made smaller... Who knows?

 

[Ironman1188]

I am in. Thanks.

Great news Pix. Tell him you are interested in doing a group order in sixth scale. Also, you may want to start a list...

Welcome Ironman.

I have emailed the maker of those scale guitars and as soon as I hear something I will let you guys know.

 

[pixletwin]

Bump for the Europeans who are just starting their day. Sign up! It'll be awesome!
