Big Bad Batten! Bath City

I've probably done more Bath City repaints than you'd expect!

More than I've done of Barcelona, in fact!!

Here are the latest 2:

Home and away kits here. As it was a lookalike figure, I had to change the hair colour, and add the beard.

I also added the back sponsor, above the shirt number, which I don't often do, but was requested here.

I was very happy with the home kit especially- I don't recall doing anything quite like those 'stripes across stripes' before. I think it looks great, as did the buyer, and Jack Batten himself!

Jim Rollo, Vivid Imaginations figure

For a player who's spent the majority of his career in non-league, Jim Rollo has a higher than expected number of repaints!

Having done home and away Prostar versions of him, here is the latest:

While these figures do take a lot more work to finish, they do allow for a lot of detail to be added with a bit more ease.

I particularly liked the second sponsor on the back, and the Errea captain's band!

More Vivid Imaginations figures coming soon!

So, here is the 4th of my Bath City repaints!

This one uses a lookalike as club legend Scott Partridge!

I don't have much else to say about this one, other than I know it was bought as a gift, and, according to the guy that bought it, it "went down a storm"!

I'll settle for that :)

Here's a pic of the real kit:

The return of Bath City figures to my Blog!

Here is Goalkeeper, Jason Mellor; the kind of order that adds real variety to repainting!

I didn't tweet him myself this time, the customer did that, but this is what he had to say about it:

And in case you want a look at the kit:

You may remember a while back that I posted a picture of Bath City legend Jim Rollo, in the Roman's promotion winning kit.

Well, the same guy (who has to be Jim Rollo's biggest fan!!) also ordered one in an away kit.

I got a tweet back from Rollo about the home kit repaint, and he also decided to RT and Fave this one.

Here's the clearest image of Rollo in this kit that I could find!

I feel I should also say, in the words of the guy who bought these 2 figures: "They have gone down in Bath folklore; he loves them!"

I do love getting orders like this one! 

Before this, I had never heard of Jim Rollo, and couldn't have told you what kit Bath City wore. Now I can tell you that this was the kit they were promoted in!

(I can also tell you about the away kit- pics soon!)

As I understand it, Rollo is a bit of a local legend- a quick look at his Wiki page shows that he has nearly 500 games for Bath under his belt! 

Here he is, celebrating promotion:

And here's his twitter response to a picture of this figure:

The fabled triple whammy; a favourite, a retweet, and a reply! It's also nice to see that the other favourite and retweet are from the guy that bought the 2 Rollo figures!
