Bremner Keymen

Here are the last 2 Keymen... for the time being at least.

A couple of Leeds away kits for Billy Bremner:

If you're wondering, the side view of the first one is very much so you can see the sock tag!!

And as for the second, of all the hundreds of Leeds figures I've done; this is definitely the first red one!!

I wondered how well decals would work on diecast figures, so I used them for the badges only. The numbers (sock tabs included) are all handpainted.

I like the Keymen figures, though some are in pretty bad condition due to age. These were 2 of the ones in better nick!

Keymen, Admiral Tracksuits

More Keymen! The last Keymen figures post featured some Cup Final tracksuits, and we're staying with the tracksuit theme for this post:

Not Cup Final wear this time, but a popular design that Leeds used pre-match while Admiral were supplying their kits

As mentioned in previous posts, unfortunately, the paint doesn't cover the cracks in these old, die cast figures, and the buyer didn't make any mention of trying to restore them in any other way... so I didn't!

It's been a while since I did put up some of the keymen, so here are the next couple:

If you missed the last post I made about this kind of figure, they are actually die-cast, and from the 60s, which explains the condition of them to some extent!

Unfortunately, the paint didn't cover the cracks, but i still think they look pretty good. (The customer didn't ask me to attempt to 'restore them' in any way other than painting)

The tracksuit tops are from the infamous 1970 final vs Chelsea, and Leeds' 1972 Cup final triumph against Arsenal.

Bremner Keymen, Admiral kits

A new variety of figure! My first experience of painting  die-cast Keymen figures.

I've done 4 Billy Bremners so far, all in various Leeds kits. Here are the first 2:

The figures weren't in the best condition, but the kits still looked pretty good when finished. I was hoping the paint would cover the cracks, but not quite!

Keep your eye out for 2 more Bremner Keymen in future!
