Cantona, Sheffield Wednesday

(Click to enlarge)

I thought of doing this one a while back, after a positive response to my Ronaldinho St Mirren figure.

In case you didn't know, this is one of those famous 'almost transfers' that never actually happened- Cantona joined Wednesday on trial, and played a five-a-side game for them.

Unfortunately for Wednesday and Francis, he joined Leeds before Francis had chance to see him "play on grass", in what has become a famous quote!

Here he is in for real in the repainted kit:

This figure has led to a few other Wednesday repaints! Watch this space!

Maradona, Spurs

Little known fact: Diego Armando Maradona played in a Testimonial game for Spurs in the mid '80s!

I enjoyed painting this one; it was quite a challenge tho!

Here's Diego in the Testimonial, which was in honour of Ossie Ardiles and was against Inter.

'Lovekin', Everton

Here's a real Everton legend!!

Well, he has probably the best collection of Everton corinthians going, which has to make him at least a bit of a legend!

I helped the buyer of this figure to find a suitable 'lookalike', and then painted it for him, into his favourite kit. He must quite like it, as it is now his facebook profile picture!

I can also do any park team/ five aside etc kits, as long as you can provide me with a picture.

Berg, Panathinaikos

Part of another order from one of my regulars from Greece, here's Marcus Berg of Panathinaikos.

Pleased with how I managed to get the transfer to line up with the hoops for the sponsor on this one!

Jenas, Spurs

Here's a repaint of Invisible England midfielder, Jermaine Jenas, as he was in his Spurs days.

I don't have much more to say about it really... the main reason I chose to post this one today was because I also have a tweet response that goes with it!

Quagliarella, Torino

I enjoy the variety that some orders give me. 

I would never have painted Quagliarella into Torino kit had it not been requested, and yet, here it is! I'm pleased with how it turned out too!

The hardest part of this one was mixing the very distinctive colour of Toro's shirt!

... this pic makes me feel obliged to say: the customer made no request for a painted beard!

Speed, Leeds 1992.

Tom Ince, Hull

Here's a second Tom Ince repaint. I just can't resist using a Paul Ince figure to do these, especially as I tend to have a few knocking about.

This one went successfully on ebay.

If anyone wants any other Hull City repaints doing, just get in contact by leaving a comment here, on facebook, or on twitter.

(In case you wondered, the other Ince repaint was in Palace kit)

Merson, Portsmouth

Here's a recent request that I received, and I have to say, I'm very pleased with how it ended up!

Merson- in the kit that Portsmouth were promoted in, in 2003.

Here's the real Merse, to compare it to.

Incidentally, the customer described the paint job as "different class"! :)
