Aaron Lennon, Leeds

Personally... I love this one!

Think the figure is a great sculpt, and even tho the kit is simple, the repaint looks pretty slick, if I say so myself!

One way that this was different from a lot of my other repaints is that I had to paint plainer boots onto it! He wore bright ones at Spurs (for the original figure) but usually wore plain black for Leeds.


(No tweet back from him yet!)

Gazza, Spurs

(Click to enlarge)

I find it pretty baffling to think that Corinthian never produced a Gazza figure in Spurs kit! Surely it would have been a very popular figure!

Anyway, on realising this, I did one!

My thinking was that this kit, in which he scored the famous free kick against Arsenal, would be a good choice.

Here he is in this kit, in action! 


(This figure will probably be going on ebay this week. If you are interested in it, let me know!)

New approach:

The other day, I decided to buy a job lot of figures on ebay. None particularly rare, but 60 of them for a reasonable price.


Here they are:




Encouraged by the initial success of my ebay activity, my plan is just to use them to do a few repaints, stick 'em on there, and see how they do!

However (not wanting to miss an opportunity!) if there are any figures you from the picture that you would like to order with a new paint job, please feel free!

Adams, Arsenal (away)

Adams, in a mid 90s Arsenal away kit.

I loved this kit at the time... basically because it had lightning. In fact, every kit I designed myself (as 10 year old boys do) had lightning on it from this kit onwards.

Here's the shirt:

Think this may be one of my next models to go on ebay: while I fancied painting it, I never really intended to keep it!

Le Tiss reply!

People who follow this blog, or my facebook page will know that, when I finish a repaint, I often tweet it to the player to see what they think.

So far I've had replies from Dom Poleon, Ian Baird, Darren Anderton and Ugo Ehiogu and a retweet to this very site from Dom Matteo.

I think you'll agree tho, I have a new 'highest profile' reply!


(The little square was a thumbs up symbol!)

Also love that Iwan Thomas got in on the act as well!

El Hadji Diouf, Leeds

I don't see Diouf staying at Leeds past the end of this transfer window, tbh, so thought I'd better post this early in January!

I went with last season's kit for this repaint- mainly because he's hardly played this season.

The socks are my favourite part of this one!
