Anderton, Bournemouth

At a time when I didn't have any to do for my own collection, or any orders, I had a look through the big box and had a think about which figures in there I could do what I imagined would be a fairly unique repaint of.

One of the results was John Barnes in Watford colours, and the next was this Darren Anderton.

After a pretty successful, if injury hit, career at the top level, Anderton finished his career with his hometown club, Bournemouth.

Unless I am mistaken (which is possible, I'm not a Bournemouth expert!) this is the kit in which he made his final appearance, grabbing a winning goal!

Pure Roy of the Rovers stuff!

Here's the bbc's take on the events, and a picture from the game:


(EDIT- Figure successfully 'ebayed'!)

Dom Poleon, Leeds United

custom repainted corinthian figures

Here, I used a 'lookalike' figure to make young Leeds forward Dom Poleon.

Fancied doing something other than white, and hate our 2nd strip, hence the use of the third kit. 

Like this one, and Dom himself seemed to like it too:
