Dortmund, x2

A couple of absolutely classic kits here, both from Borussia Dormtund:


I remember watching the 1997 Champions League final as a child. Riedle grabbed 2 goals as Dortmund, who were considered underdogs, as I recall, went on to earn a 3-1 win. 

I remember it feeling really dramatic... but that was more down to Ricken, really! Anyway, what a kit!! This repaint is only the second time I've used fluorescent paint, and it was perfect for this kit.

As requested, I also added the Champions League logo on one arm, and check out the hand-painted stars on the other!


Not got as much to say about this one... except I loved Rosicky when he played for Dortmund! I think the white number on the black strip, which is pretty difficult technically. ended up looking pretty good!

Monaco, x3

I love Monaco kits. So instantly recognisable, without being... horrible!! You could make a case for it being the most unmistakable kit in club football!

Here are 3 players wearing different incarnations of it:




Lovely!!

You may have noticed the red and white bases on the first too figures, which were the buyers choice. Not to my taste, to be honest, but it did get me thinking about the different possibilities with the bases.

I also probably would've done just a 9 on Prso, as if his hair was covering the name, but again, that was the buyer's choice.

Tony Adams 1989

Too tired to write in much detail...

Here's a Tony Adams figure in the kit from Arsenal's famous title-cinching win at Anfield in 1989:

Leeds' Class of '92, Vivid Imaginations Figures

Well, I haven't posted any of these here for a long time! It's been so long, in fact, that I can't remember if I explained that someone was using 'lookalike figures' to put together Leeds 1-11 of the 1991-92 Title winning team.

Anyway, here's the central midfield:



And after saying they were lookalikes, of course I've gone and posted the only one who actually wasn't!! David Batty was produced in Newcastle kit, in this style of figure, so he was a straightforward repaint.

McAllister was too, really- just needed a change of hair colour to go with his new kit. Any guesses as to which figure was used?

Keegan's Entertainers

Erm... not feeling very wordy, soooo... how about pics of loads of figures?!

Here are Newcastle's Entertainers!



A guy went and ordered pretty much the whole team, didn't he?! And for some reason, I forgot to include Peter Beardsley in the group pics!!


I was happy with these! You'll probably know how much I like accurate number fonts by now, but I was very happy with how the Brown Ale Star sponsor looks as well!

The most awkward aspect of these was the players who were already in Newcastle kits had round necked shirts, which didn't particularly lend themselves to having collars painted on!!
