Parma x4

In what is becoming a customary late night Friday blog post... I've just about got the energy and inclination to post a few pics, ad their properties (need a bit of search optimisation after all!) and maybe make the briefest of comments!

Here are some Parma players!

Parma have had some beautiful kits over the years, am I right?!

I have no idea whether these are in chronological order, but I have managed shirt number order at least... albeit entirely by chance. Speaking of shirt  numbers; that 86 shirt on Bojinov: All I can say is, you don't normally find such obscenity on this blog!

A few Spurs Soccerstarz

I hear Spurs have got a new manager...

I'll not get into my thoughts on the treatment of Poch too much here (needless to say, I'd take him as Leeds manager after Bielsa!) and just post pics of a few of the players the new guy in town will have at his disposal!

I've just realised that Lloris isn't even available for selection, but I'm not removing him from the post now!!

I've got such a backlog of Spurs figures in my 'repaints' folder on my laptop. Expect to see more soon!!

Real Madrid Icons

A quick post, before I go to bed!

2 massive talismanic figures in the history of Real Madrid!

I really like the Di Stefano one- while it's one of the simplest repaints I've done, it's another case of a simple one being extremely effective... in my eyes at leasr!

And Ronaldo as well!

Lazio x4

As I'm up too early on a Saturday morning, I thought I'd keep the momentum going!

Here's a post that isn't international kits, but still has an overseas flavour! 4 recent-ish Lazio figures!

I liked how these ended up- check out the gold and white trim round the collar and cuffs on the top 2; definitely my favourite bit!

Other comments: I literally had no idea that Nani played for Lazio, and a goalkeeper wearing number 70 is just obscene. That's all.

USA Keepers!

Last day of my blog boost week! Posts on 5 consecutive days- and viewing figures are up! And that's with only one share on my FB page as well!

Anyway, to end the period of obligatory posts (I am going to try to update pretty regularly from now on) I'm posting another couple of international players; USA keepers:

Both Soccerstarz, both with a tricky bit of paintwork on the sleeves! Also another foray into fluorescent paint! But, it's Friday, and I'm tired, so that's it for tonight!

Caniggia Collection!

I said there were some Argentina figures coming, didn't I?!

Here are 3 Caniggias; 2 from Italia '90, and one from USA '94.

And that's it! Short post tonight, cos I committed to one per day, but it's been a busy one, and I want to go to sleep!

British Keepers

Day 3 of blog boost week! Still going with international figures, as it's international week, but today'd specific theme is keepers!

Here are 5 goalies (England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales) in freshly repainted kits, including gloves!

If I can say this about my own work, I'm a big fan of these! The gloves add so much!

I particularly like the patterns on the Jennings Northern Ireland kit!

I can also reveal to you here, that all of these figures are set to feature in the book Glove Story 2, set to be published next year!

Brazilians!

Day 2; Post 2 of my blog booster week!

As we're now officially in an international break, how about some international players?!

Here are some Brazilians *snigger*

My favourite of these is definitely Leonardo, closely followed by Edu. On reflection, I think that's due to the quality of the players themselves... as well as the kits which were a bit more interesting to paint!

I'm thinking there will be at least one more Internationals post this week, possibly featuring Brazil's arch rivals Argentina!

Five Forest Figures!

Well everyone, clearly my level of busy-ness doesn't coexist well with regularly posting high quality blog content!

So, here's the plan: posts every day this week, with plenty of photos, rather than just one or 2.

Let's start with some Forest figures... in no particular order:

Comments:

Benalouane- I like it, first time I've tried painting on one of those protective masks. I was a worried enough to try it out on a crappy old spare figure before accepting the job!

Lansbury and Lester: Lookalikes!

Dawson: I don't remember Forest having an Inter Milan phase!

van Hooijdonk- his name is so long, I had to make the letters smaller on the decal!!

See you tomorrow!
