    Gene Autry America's Favorite Singing Cowboy

    The head sculpt and painting by Dave McCormick, I believe it's supposed to be Gene Roddenberry
    but I thought it also looked a bit like Gene Autry, and thought it would be a nice addition to my custom
    western collection.

    Type 2 mego body

    CTVT shirt-pants-guitar

    Doc Mego, gunbelt-six shooter-gloves and boots

    White scarf was from a t-shirt I cut in strips and tied

    The white hat came from ebay, the material was a softer texture and fit nicely on the head,
    and doesn't remove the paint from the hair when taken off.

    The box is from the Toyroom.

      Looks good. Minor correction... DaveMc didn't sculpt the head. It was Capt Dunsel.
      Fresh, not from concentrate.

        Thanks for the info on the head sculpt, I had picked it up from Dave since he had it pictured on his site at the time
        I just assumed it came from him, so I appreciate the shout out to Capt Dunsel, I think Dave did have it stated it was
        a Dunsel sculpt along with a few others, now that memory serves me.

                I agree with the others: That head works good for Gene Autry... Good job...

                  Very good looking figure and box. That was a great choice for the head.

                      Hey Tom, It looks a lot like the picture on the box. Nice Custom!

                      You and Vinny0026 get a lot of heads and painting done by DaveMc. I PMed him awhile back, looking for a certain head, and I got no response. I figured he was done, and gone.

                        Yes, that is a very accurate Autry right there. Just in time for Christmas, since he was the original singer of several Christmas classics like Rudolph, Here Comes Santa Claus, etc.

                          This is a great custom. He was one of my moms favorites.
