Looks a little like Phryne Fisher, although from the 1930s instead of the 1920s. Now we just need her Hispano-Suiza.

With a few subtle mods, I can convert this one into an, Alice Bag. Actually, it's her almost out of the box.

Probably a younger version of her, since the outfit on the figure isn't too different from a lot of the thrift store clothes she wore on stage back in the 70's.

She was an important figure in the early LA punk scene, but the band only released one single during their short career.

I guess KoSprueOne is a fan of early punk? I'm more a Black Flag/Circle Jerks guy myself.

Yes, if you web-search in Images, you'll get a better variety of her style.

Indeed, the East LA punk bands from the 70's/early 80's were very important but rarely heard about outside the scene.

Black Flag and Circle Jerks and 'X' basically identified LA punk.

The Bags never traveled outside LA so I never got to see them, but I have managed to see Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, and X multiple times. I wouldn't make a figure out of Henry Rollins but maybe that's because he threw a pen at me.

I have 100's of punk bands from all over the world in my music collection but none from Myanmar, although I understand the regime there clamps down on that sort of thing. I have a lot of metal from SE Asia, though.

You've seen Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and X live. Rad, I've never seen any of them live. Was Keith Morris in CJ when you saw them? Lucky you. Henry Rollins throwing a pen at you, yeah I can believe that.
He DJ's an FM broadcast show on Sunday nights at 8pm PST on KCRW.com https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins

The only punk I've seen footage of from Myanmar is this:

It's really bad, ok for this forums board but I just mean it's just a bad cover of a Clash song, you'll see. A little funny though...

Keith was there every time, from my first time in 1986 to the last time in 2003. I haven't seen his post-CJ projects although I have the music.

That wasn't the best cover I've seen, but certainly not the worst. Gotta give them props for trying, though.

Apparently they have Funco Pop bobbleheads of some bands like the Ramones (who I saw 3 times before they all started dying) but I'm not into that kind of stuff--too cartoony for my taste. If they came out with more realistic figures I might consider doing a diorama of a performance, but that depends on if I get better at realistic figure painting.
