AC Milan European Cup Winners

After yesterday's post offering the chance to WIN FREE REPAINTS, I thought I'd get back to normal, with a few pictures today.

I've gone with AC Milan; partly cos they featured in the quiz at the end of today's episode of Quickly Kevin, but mostly because the are at the top of my repaints album due to alphabetical order!!

I haven't even put them into chronological or shirt number order today. I'm surprised too!

Lazy Bank Holiday vibes, I guess!

Some good players here!!

Hope you enjoyed!

Euro 2020 ish post...

 Well I haven't been here since April! If you follow my socials, you'll know I've not been taking any new orders due to real life work commitments. I have managed to get a bit of painting in, but absolutely zero blogging!!

As a result of lack of new orders, I don't have any specific Euros related figures, but how about some with tenuous links?!

Ian Wright may have never played in the Euros, but he's at this year's as a pundit! Here he is in Celtic kit!!

Sheva! Here he is in Milan European Cup final winning kit. It'd take a brave man to bet on him winning the Euros as manager of Ukraine!

Another of ITV's punditry team, and another European cup winner! Graeme Souness, in Liverpool kit.

A couple of active players... but not in their England kits! Kane and Walker soccerstarz in Spurs away kits. We need both of them to step up, I'd say. Not seen the best of either in this tournament yet.

And last, but certainly not least, the Yorkshire Pirlo: Kalvin Phillips! You'll notice this custom funko is in the number 7 shirt, and has different hair than Kalvin has now- I made it just after his England debut based on his appearance then.

And that's your lot for today. Hopefully giving you a few more pics than normal makes up for the absence. I'll try to not leave it so long next time... not least as I've got some more figures tenuously linked to the Euros!

2 Milan Microstars

Here are a couple of recently finished Microstars for your Monday; lookalike figures of a couple of AC Milan stalwarts:

The same kit for this pair, and obviously I needed to fill the bases as well, to cover their original names. 

I was very happy with these 2; in fact, I'd put them up there as probably the best microstars I've done, when you consider the level of detail. Adidas stripes all round, yellow trim, shorts numbers...! 

Gattuso Fanatico figure, Milan

One of the things that has changed over the years (I've been repainting for 5 years now- crazy!!) is that now I often get people asking me: "Have you ever painted one of these?" and put forward a different variety of figure.

If I haven't painted one before, my usual answer is: "No, but I don't think it will be a problem!"

To be honest, the differences between FT Champs figures and Fanatico figures are pretty small. Nonetheless, unless I'm mistaken, here's my first fanatico!

I enjoyed this one, and was delighted with how it turned out... even if putting the red details on top of black paint was a bit of a pain!!

This was also my first AC Milan figure (of any variety) which surprised me a bit!
