The Highwaymen, Tim.

Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.

The song "Highwayman" is one of those instant classics that when you hear it playing, you can't turn it off. It's kind of a haunting ballad told in 4 parts, one by each singer:

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn of Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

I was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide.
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

RobW - great entries. Definitely see willie and Kris there. I can see Cash there, too, although I am more familiar of his later, older face.

I am going to end this jam now but I want to thank everyone who posted, keeping the jam alive.

Stay tuned for the next whopper news.

[RobW]

Jedideni, thanks for explaining.
Amusedjester, Yes it is definitely a younger Johnny that I'm going for. Doesn't fit the period but that the way it is.

It's Tuesday, so here it is.
I'd had enough with hair so Waylon got a hat, and not much of a likeness. I just couldn't find a feature to build a caricature around.



Hey that profile shot of Jor-el looks good.

[amusedjester]

The waylon feature, I definitely am not familiar with but the sculpt looks great. The hat work is impressively smooth and well done.

The more I looked at my finished piece, the more i wanted to add more to his jowls because his face just seems so long. But I didn't want him to look like Godfather. In the end, I did the changes and will make a new mold and cast a new face and post up the results.

[RobW]

Well thank you sir. Magic-sculpt and some sandpaper make that hat gravy.

I'll bet some screen shots from Apocalypse Now would be great reference, bald jowly Brando without the cotton balls!

[Tim-Osullivan]
