[MOC] John Williams - Composer Minifig

[Admonisher]

Just something fun I whipped up today. I'd had the notion for a while, I was just waiting for the right head to come along. Thank you HP CMF Series 2 Dumbledore! :)

The maestro...

And posing with some of his most famous musical inspirations...

One could perhaps wish for a better black tuxedo jacket with black bow tie. (If I weren't hoping to keep it "purist," Citizen Brick makes a decent one.) But this fits the bill!

[Boettner Builds]

Perfect. LEGO couldn’t do better if they tried!

[Vindicare]

That looks excellent! It’s instantly recognizable, didn’t even need to tell us who it was. 

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Very well made!

This is brilliant—love it!

Perfectly captured!

Wow, that's just too perfect...  ...most astonishing, great idea there!

Amazing! May have to copy you

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Modal, have at it -- would love to see what adventures the mini-maestro gets up to! :D

And if anyone cooks up a recognizable Jerry Goldsmith fig to go with Johnny, I'd love to see it. :) I've been hoping for Kanan's ponytail in white for a long time...

Jerry would be awesome, though I may have to attempt my favorite film composer first, Thomas Newman :)

Hmmm, Thomas Newman... For the head, I'd suggest maybe the head of the 2014 Nova Corps Officer (the side without the chinstrap, obviously). I'd take the hair from the CMF Series 12 Lifeguard. For the body, any dark contemporary suit and tie would do ... or, if you want the studio-casual look, you could go with a plain black torso and jeans (preferably, printed jeans like those from the CMF Series 8 DJ or 2014 Superboy).

A quick Photoshop mock-up:

Ideally, the part would go in the other direction, but his hair tends to flop around and I've seen photos where it's tousled the other way. (The LEGO hair looks almost black in the above mock-up, but in reality it would be dark brown.)

Clarification.

Made a more permanent display stand with a recent acquisition...
