Colombians

In a recent-ish post, I mentioned doing some orders of several Colombian players in their club kits/

Thinking back now, I think there were 2 orders; one of prostar sized figures, and one of micro/soccerstarz.

Here are a few of the smaller ones!

A few 'first time' teams for me! I'd never done any Napoli, Independiente or New York Red Bulls before this order.

Atletico x3

I'm on a roll! And I'm sticking with multi-picture blog posts! There are still 358 photos in my 'repaints' album, after all!

Today: Atleti:

Three different eras, three different kits, three different number fonts.

Names and numbers like the one on Gronkjaer are strangely satisfying to do, both for the name being on a different colour, and the stripe between the 2 digits!

The 2 colour bases were the buyers choice- not to my taste personally, but I didn't mind doing them.

For some reason, the Torres is my favourite. Maybe because it's a figure I've never done before, maybe it's the little sections of stripes on the back... maybe it's just cos I really hated Hasselbaink for forcing through his move to Atleti!!

Also, without realising til now, there's another link between these 3; all of them played for Chelsea too!

Atletico keeper Soccerstarz

Atletico have had some pretty decent keepers, right?!

Here are 2 of them:

The Courtois repaint was a pretty straightforward one, but how about those sleeves on the De Gea figure?! Love them, and they were specifically commented on by the buyer too!

It must be tough for Atletico, looking back at these keepers who have left them, and having to settle for *checks notes* Oblak... as you were.

... It's bothering me slightly that I haven't cropped the De Gea photo quite enough. Not enough to do anything about it, mind. 

Didn't notice? It's all you'll see now!! Get your eyes back on those sleeves!!

Atletico Madrid x2

Those of you that read this blog regularly (anyone?!) will know that I often say: I enjoy the chance to try different kits for the first time.

Well, I have done one Atleti figure before, but this batch let me loose on 5 different kits!

Here are the first 2:

Yes... they are in number order, because I don't really know which shirt came first timewise!

I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I feel I've become massively better at striped kits over the last... I'm gonna say six months or so! 

I was very happy with these repaints. For those playing 'Marc Blog Bingo' I'm gonna mention how happy I am with the number fonts too!

To be completely honest, the bases aren't my cup of tea, but the guy who requested them seemed happy enough!

Overall, a pleasing pair. Ooh, er matron!!

Juninho, Atletico

I've done a few Real and Barca repaints, but this is my first of any other La Liga side.

Here's the reason I did a season as Atletico Madrid on Fifa '98: Juninho!
