Finney, PNE

(Click to enlarge)

Corinthian only ever released Tom Finney in England colours, so living in Preston, and having a lot of good friends that are PNE fans, it seemed fairly natural to make this.

To be honest, there wasn't that much that needed doing- he was wearing an England kit originally, so the kit only needed a new badge, a new shirt number and a couple of stripes on the socks.

RIP Sir Tom.

Seaman, Leeds

(Click to enlarge)

This one might surprise a few of you, but in his early career, Seaman was on Leeds' books. 

He came through the academy, I think, but never played for the first team.

Here's the only pic I could find of him in Leeds colours:


I don't know why they are in yellow for the team pic.

Anyway, I thought I'd ask Seaman what he thought of the repaint, as well as throwing in a cheeky question about his tache!

Here's what he said:

Dominguez, Olympiakos.

Alejandro Dominguez, of Olympiakos

...not the only Dominguez that I have done!!

As with many of my Greek Superleague repaints, I had to use a lookalike figure for this one.


Not a bad likeness

It also got a fave on twitter from Dominguez.

'Cutler', Watford

(Click to enlarge)

This was an order made for a Christmas present; a custom figure of the customer's dad!!

She did comment that I was generous with the hair!

In case you haven't guessed, he's a Watford an.

Keep your eyes out for another Cutler- my customer also got a figure for her brother.

Gerrard, Liverpool 2014/15

(Click to enlarge)

This was an order for a Christmas present. The request was: Can you do a Liverpool player.

Who better than Stevie G, I thought. Just before he decides he's gonna leave...

Anyway, here he is, in this season's kit.

Greaves, Spurs

(Click to enlarge)

Here's a Spurs Jimmy Greaves figure, painted as part of my big Spurs order a while back.

It's one of those that was really simple, but looks really effective for it, in my opinion at least!

Here's an image to compare it to:


And my reason for posting this now; I got a message back from Jimmy on twitter! I got properly excited about this one!!

Conte, Juve

(Click to enlarge)

Here's a lookalike figure, used to make Antonio Conte in Juventus' 1996 Champions League final kit.
...
I had to get this posted off quickly for Christmas, and so forgot to photograph the back like I normally do!

I like this one! The stars on the shoulders were a personal highlight!

I also did a repaint of Peruzzi, in the GK kit from this final. Keep an eye out for it here (or, if you just can't wait, check out the Serie A album on my Facebook page)

Here's the team pic from the final;

A Few Leeds Faves

Happy New Year to all of my readers! I hope you are all recovered from Christmas, and NYE, for that matter, and are ready to go back to work...

I wasn't sure what to put up as my first post of 2015, so I have decided to treat you to some of my new pics!

My good friends at Eighth Avenue Photography offered to do some swanky pics of my repaints for me, so of course I said yes!

Here are a few of my Favourites from my own collection:

Aaron Lennon Gary Speed Jermaine Beckford Alfie Haaland Habib Habibou Ross McCormack Dominic Matteo LUFC Leeds Utd

All favourites for different reasons, tho I feel I should point out, it's not necessarily to do with their performance for Leeds!!

*Habibou cough cough*

Danny Mills Tony Yeboah, ALan Smith

Here they are with a few away kits thrown in too... I really should have a look at fixing Smith's nose!
