    Disappointing, this looks nothing like him

    I think so too HB. Also to be honest the flights to Phoenix are very expensive too and I am just BACK from the States!!

    I wouldn't say it looks "nothing" like him...and since I'm not a sculptor, I'm not sure if it could have been better or not...

    I'd need to find a picture of Glenn with a similar slight smile. My first impression was that the cheeks were a little too rounded whereas Glenn was more angular.

    ETA: I'll accept that it's the smile that's rounding the cheeks. Other than that, it's a slightly idealised version, the sculpture equivalent of airbrushed.

    When I was looking at some of my saved pictures of Glenn the one below reminded me of the picture of the bust (mainly the hair & moustache). I don't think it is a good likeness. The nose seems right. Maybe it's the eyes.

    First of all, HB and GA - It's too bad y'all can't make this, but I get it. It's such a shame when work gets in the way of play! But, I think I'd choose L.A. over this as well if I were in your shoes.

    And that's funny how differently we all see things, GL. As I said earlier, to me the facial features do show a likeness. If anything, I think the nose is too big. I know Glenn had a pretty big nose, but not as big as the one on the bust. IMO, the hair is what's most wrong.

    The texture of the hair is certainly wrong. And the style isn't right either. His hair usually hung straighter than in the picture & the statue has it brushed back over his ears even more.

    When I saw this the one thing that struck me was the eyes don't seem right. Everything else is passable, although I do think the hair could be better. Maybe once the work is complete and we can see the final product, it'll be more Glenn-like.

    I don't think it looks like him at all. Hopefully, this doesn't turn into another "Scary Lucy" situation, where a statue of Lucille Ball that was erected was so bad they had to replace it.

    That head looks more like don felder than glenn frey!

    Wouldnt be the first bad sculpture as mentioned the lucy one and in brazil my soccer team erected a sculpture of one the their star players that died in a helicopter accident. The sculpture is an eye sore to the memory of the player.

    Ps: on big brother this season there is a guy that resembles frey alot ... The nose...deep eyes...see
