Mount, Chelsea

Way back when, I had this theory, that if I posted a figure on my blog, it jinxed their team that day. Well, I say theory, more a stupid football fan superstition thing. But...

With that in mind here's Chelsea's Mason Mount.

Mason Mount. In Chelsea kit. Chelsea.

So, that's that done...

For those of you here for this to be a proper blog post, and not the ramblings of a lunatic, I had to use a lookalike figure for this one, chosen by the customer. It was quite a simple kit- the Champions League final one, hence, the writing in the middle of the chest.

This season's Chelsea kit would probably prove more difficult!

 

Terry, Chelsea

On the day of a Chelsea FA Cup final win, here's a repaint of 'Mr Chelsea' himself, John Terry... who will be appearing at Wembley for Villa in the coming weeks!

I don't have much else to say about it to be honest!

A pretty straightforward repaint!

In case you were wondering, it is a remodel (head swap) but I didn't do it. I think the guy who ordered it cares more about the body poses of figures than I do, and so sent it to me already swapped!

Zola, Chelsea/Coventry!

Every now and then, I look in my box of spare figures, and paint a figure just because I think it will be unique or interesting.

I picked out a Zola, and thought, I'd never seen a repaint of this situation before! 

Chelsea travelled to their away game at Highfield Road, and when they got there, it turned out that their kit was considered a clash with Coventry's. And they hadn't bought their away kit with them!

The result? Chelsea wearing Coventry away shirts, with their own shorts and socks!

Zola wore the number 9 shirt that day, but one with no name!

The game finished 3-1 to Coventry. If you want to, you can read about it here

Bosnich, Chelsea

Here's a repaint that I just did because I thought it had a decent chance of selling!!

I had a Bosnich in my box of spares; I know there are quite a few Chelsea supporters on the Facebook Corinthian group... and it worked!

Bosnich was at Chelsea for a couple of years, but only managed 7 first team, competitive appearances. As Wiki puts it, it was at Chelsea where 'his career hit rock bottom' when he failed a drugs test, and was sacked.

Chelsea FT Champs figures

I enjoyed painting these! They were produced in England kit, and someone asked me to put them into Chelsea colours.

The contours and poses of the figures led to a couple of awkward sections to paint, but I was happy with how then ended up.

Chelsea, 2003 Repaints

Here we have 3 players in a kit from the early days of the Abramovich era! (in shirt number order, of course!)

Desailly, Bridge, and the billion pound goalscorer Gronkjaer!

In case anyone is wondering, these figures have been remodelled (well, "head-swapped") but not by me!!

Terry, last Chelsea game

Normally, I don't do repaints of players in the kits of teams they were released in unless requested, simply because I don't imagine there to be as much demand.

I made an exception for this one tho:

John Terry, in the kit worn in his last ever game for Chelsea, complete with correct colour boots, captain's band and, of course, the number 26.

I thought this one was sure fire for an ebay sale, but it didn't go the first time I listed it.

Maybe I should have saved it, and put it in a Villa kit!

If you're interested in this figure give me a facebook message or tweet at the links above... or just comment below.

(Note: Guard of honour not included!)

Kalou, Soccerserie

So here's my second Soccerserie figure repaint; Salomon Kalou in Chelsea away kit:

I suppose, in terms of commenting on the actual painting of this figure, I'd echo the comments I made about the last one; I enjoyed it as a learning experience, it used more paint(!) and the size made it a bit easier to paint the details.

I'd also say that, on this particular figure, the head is way too small!! Maybe I've just painted too many corinthians!!

Here's the kit, modeled by Lampard!

If you have a Soccerserie figure that you'd like to have repainted, get me on Facebook or Twitter.

Oscar, Chelsea

(Click to enlarge)

Not really in a talkative mood, to be honest.

I made this for ebay, and no-one bought it.

If you want it, send me a message on twitter or facebook.

Oh yeah, it's a lookalike figure, to make Oscar, of Chelsea, just in case you weren't sure.

Weah, Chelsea

(click to enlarge)

This is my second George Weah repaint, in recent times.

The other showed his time at Man City.

According to Wiki, Weah's time in England was deemed a success! (Not really sure who by!)

He did manage 5 goals in 15 appearances for Chelsea, including some key goals in their FA Cup run. He was 34 at the time, so i guess his record isn't bad.

Terry, Chelsea

(Click to enlarge)

This is another figure that was a Christmas present! 

When someone asks for "any Chelsea figure", surely John Terry would be the first player to come to mind!

It was for me, anyway!

I've said before that I don't like Fan Favourite figures as much, although I have now succumbed to getting one for my Leeds collection (pics soon)

Here's Terry in the current Chelsea shirt to compare it to:

You can't see them on my repaint photo, but I did do the Adidas stripes on the sides.
