Sutton, Norwich

(Click to enlarge)

Here's a kit that I've fancied trying for a while; Norwich City's memorable effort from 1992-94.

Without wanting to take away from my work too much, this was actually much easier than it looks!

The only difficult thing about the green and white flecks was the fact that they were small- I didn't even have to make them regular shapes!


EDIT: This figure is available for sale. Message me on the above facebook/ Twitter links, or comment if you are interested. Thanks.

Camara, Leeds.


There are some players whose contribution to Leeds United doesn't really merit the effort that goes into a repaint.

This may well be one of them, tho I'll be honest and say I can't really remember how good, bad or indifferent Zoumana Camara was for Leeds- I wasn't attending games regularly when he played for us.

Aside from all of that, what makes this a little more random is the fact that it isn't even a Zoumana figure- I came by a figure of Titi Camara on ebay, and thought it was a passable likeness, with the added bonus of the right name on the base!

My only real comments to make on this one are that I was pleased with the boots, and that I added Nike ticks on the shirt and shorts... not overly sure about them, tbh!

Sheringham, Portsmouth

Well, being as the last post was Southampton, maybe I'd better put up a Portsmouth one, so that I don't alienate any of my...erm... fanbase!

Here's Teddy Sheringham in Pompey's first season in the Premier League.

Not much else to say about it, tbh! It's currently on ebay if you want to own it!

Shearer, Southampton.

Here's Alan Shearer in an early 90s Southampton kit.

Shearer's 43 goals for the Saints paved the way for his big money move to Blackburn Rovers in 1992.

...I painted this cos I thought it might do well on ebay! You can find it here

Here he is, sporting the kit:

Ronaldinho... St Mirren?!

Loved this request as soon as I got it! Here's Ronnie in a St Mirren kit from the early 2000s:

This figure was requested as a gift for a St Mirren fan, as a nod towards what is apparently a bit of a 'cult status' story north of the border. (If there is such a thing as a 'cult status' story)

The long and the short of it is, Ronaldinho was very close to joining St Mirren on loan after signing for PSG.

The guy who ordered this told me that the story is still talked about today amongst St Mirren fans, so I was more than happy to do this figure for him, as a tribute!

Tho I don't have a photo of Ronaldinho in St Mirren colours to post(!) in the way that I normally do for the sake of comparison, I do have one of this figure at St Mirren Park!


If you are interested in reading the story as covered at the time, you can find it here. This article shows that it wasn't all bad... they managed to sign Stephen McPhee instead!

Here's a retrospective article.
