Advice wanted on custom LEGO "The Who"

[jonwil]

I am in the process of re-creating iconic British rock band "The Who" in LEGO.

Here are the parts I have picked so far:

John Entwhistle:

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1495 for the head

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb1392c01 with yellow hands for the torso

Dark Blue legs

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=17356pb01 for his guitar

Rodger Daltry:

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10048 in dark brown for the hair

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb0121 for the head

Torso from http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=gb009 with yellow hands for the torso (yes its got a patch of skin visible but so what :)

Tan legs

Pete Townshend:

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=43753 in tan for the hair

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb0121 for the head

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0467c01 with yellow hands for the torso

Dark Blue legs

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11640pb03 for his guitar

Kieth Moon:

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62810 in dark brown for the hair

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1286 for the head

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973ps4c01 for the torso

Black legs

Any other Who fans out there want to nominate other options that would work better? (not interested in custom printed/stickered parts though)

Have you got the colours for Roger and Pete's hair mixed up? I'd definitely say Roger should have the tan hair.

[Khscarymovie4]

Fili's hair from the hobbit theme would be good for Roger I think.

[jonwil]

I dont have that hairpiece so I cant use it :) (and I cant justify paying the going rate for that hairpiece or for the fig that has it)

Will swap the hair I have on Pete (the blonde hair) with the hair I have on Roger (the dark brown hair) and that should work better.

Unless someone knows of a better (and common enough to be obtainable easily) hairpiece for Roger than the blonde hair I linked above (its from the NinjaGo Lloyd figure I believe)

Here is my WIP of the Who setup so far:

The amplifier tiles are pad-printed tiles from citizen brick.

The bass drum "Who" logos are custom stickers printed by me.

The drumsticks are from BrickForge.

Everything else is genuine LEGO.

Any feedback on what I can do to make this better (i.e. make it look more like the actual band as they were in their heyday) would be appreciated.

In regards to the hair on Roger Daltry, I do have the same hair I used for Pete but in medium dark flesh. Would that work better for Roger than the current tan hair? Would it look out of place next to Pete?

[jonwil]

Picked up a Fili the Dwarf figure with this hair in medium dark flesh:

I also picked up this hair in medium dark flesh:

http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24072

And I own this hair in medium dark flesh:

And this hair in medium dark flesh:

I am currently using this hair in tan:

Anyone want to nominate what hair piece would be the best for Rodger? The one I have now? One of the 4 I mentioned above? Something totally different?
