Billy.

Well, here he is.

Leeds United's finest captain, and arguably best ever player. 

Criminally, Corinthian never released a figure of Billy, so I had to use a lookalike for this one. 

The kit choice was the 1972 FA Cup final, and, if you look closely, you'll see the extra writing (Stating that it was the Centenary final) under the LUFC script.

Trademark sock-tags have also been included, but no captain's armband, as these weren't worn at the time.

This was actually an order for someone else... thinking of doing one for my own collection!

Better start getting these Costa Rica pics up!

In case you didn't know, I received a big order of practically the whole Costa Rica Squad a while back. Now is the time I have chosen to start posting them here!

I've decided to go with 3 at a time, so here are set one of 6!

Johnny Acosta

Jairo Arrieta

and Michael Barrantes

All of the Costa Rica figures include the standard 2 badges, name and number on the back of the shirt, but also include a small, handpainted number on the front.

Kidd, Leeds

My first coach/manager repaint!

This Brian Kidd figure was originally part of the Man United series. I gave him new colours for his trackies and jacket, as well as adding a Leeds badge.

What I actually thought of his time at Leeds is probably better not said.

Beardsley, Vancouver Whitecaps

This is my second Beardsley repaint! I think that's partly down to the fact that he's an easy figure to get hold of, but is also influenced by the fact that he's had more clubs than your average golfer!

Here's the first one I did, of Beardsley at Hartlepool Utd.

I did this one because, basically, I thought it was a bit unusual, and might go down well on eBay.

...

It's still available! (Message me if you're interested!)

In case you're wondering, I've done a blue collar, as Beardsley was with the Whitecaps for a couple of seasons, and wore a couple of different kits. This is just the clearest colour picture.

Schmeichel, Leeds

Had the idea for this one a little while after doing Alex Bruce.

The figure was originally Peter Schmeichel, but being as every commentator, says "He looks so much like his dad" in every game he plays in, I thought I'd give this a go!

Quite pleased with how it turned out... tho now I've got some skin tone paints, I can address that chip on his nose!!

Schmeichel at Leeds: 

Walker, Spurs

Here's a repaint that was part of a large recent order of Spurs figures.

Corinthian did release Walker in a couple of different Spurs kits, but never this beaut!

Not much else to say, other than I enjoyed painting it.

I also had to find several pictures of the kit, from all angles, because it was such an irregular design! 

Costa Rica Fan Club!

Well, if I haven't mentioned it before on here (sometimes I forget what I've put here, and what I've put on facebook) I had my biggest ever order recently- a whole load of Costa Rica lookalikes.

I'll post them individually in due course, but for now, here's a quick sample:

As you know, I often try tweeting the subject of the repaint, to get there response, with mixed success.

The Costa Rica players are loving it!!

This isn't even all of them!! (For more see this album)

It was after all this that I realised Costa Rica play England in this year's World Cup!
