Carr, Spurs

 I don't know if this is cos I lived in Spurs territory when I was a teenager, but there seemed to be a time when Spurs fans went on about Stephen Carr as if it was the second coming.

Weird, no?

Like, he was a decent pro, but one long range goal against Man U doesn't make you the next Cafu... or maybe the current Cafu at the time...

Anyway, here's Carr home and away:

It's funny to look back at repaints that I did (at a guess) at least 2 years ago. I'd say the second one is more recent. The home one is ok, but I'm not sure I'd settle for that slightly wonky sponsor these days!

Standards are definitely higher now, even if it means having the patience to print the decals again!!

Jarman, Lincoln United

Lincoln United; there's a club I didn't expect to receive an order for (or know exited, to be fair!)

I had a chat over Twitter with a YouTuber who wanted to do a giveaway for his channel... if I remember rightly, he was doing a Football Manager series about Lincoln United, and wanted a figure of one of the key men.

So, this happened:

Quite a nice simple repaint. I actually did 2 of them, and I think I'm right in saying one of them went to Jarman himself!

... He definitely did- I've just searched on YouTube to find the video, in case you want to watch. You can find it by clicking here.

Incidentally, I didn't get much extra exposure by the guy who's channel it is saying "I had this made by a lad on twitter... I can't remember his name!" *Laughing emoji*

Leeds 2019-20 Funkos

It's Leeds and Spurs that I've got most pictures of in my repaint folder, that remain un-uploaded to this blog, so lets get a few Leeds up today!!

A growing area for me is Funko Pop repaints, so here are 3 of the Leeds ones I've done so far:

While I don't collect these myself, they've certainly grown on me recently! For those of you that don't know, Funko only make figures for a select band of clubs- Liverpool, Man City, Man U, PSG etc

So, for these, obviously I had to repaint the kits, but also had to customise in other ways too. Fortunately, fleeinding a lookalike is not as difficult as it is with corinthians- basically all you need is the right hairstyle!!

The other changes I made with this (aside form the kits and boots!!) are:

Ayling; added beard, slight moustache adjusment!

Alioski: Full skin colour change, added hair highlights!
Dallas: added beard, adjusted hair for that fade!

I'm very happy with all of them!

Segers, Forest

Did you know that Hans Segers played for Forest?

Neither did I, before this repaint!

I only remember him playing for Wimbledon and sitting on the bench at Spurs!

This was a nice simple repaint, but there is something quite charming about plain green keeper shirts from the 80s! I've done a few of them now, David Seaman, in his pre-Arsenal life springs to mind.

Argentina x3

Some Argentina figures; why not?!

I've said several times on this blog that I think simpler, retro kits have a habit of upstaging more complex repaints, which may explain why I love the Maradona repaint so much!!

I've mentioned the bases done like this on other figure before (Atleti, I think) and, while I wouldn't do it for my own collection, I think it does look pretty good on these Argentina figures. 

The customer who these were for had already painted these bases before he sent them to me! I think they are remodels too! I think he's one for whom the body poses, and whether they are long or short sleeved, is quite important.

You'll notice the kits are all slightly different... I think they were chosen as they were all worn for major tournaments. I'm not sure which tho!!
