Schmeichel, Denmark '92

International break: International repaint, and one of my finest in recent times, I'd say.

I checked with the guy who ordered this to see if he knew there was a version of this kit made by corinthian... apparently it's really expensive!

In case you wondered about my method, firstly, I painted the shirt completely white. Then, I mixed versions of all the pastel colours (in a milk bottle lid!) and then did them in sort of stripes, blending and mixing on the shirt as I went along.

The next step was doing the black at the top of the shirt and on the cuffs, and elbow/ lower arm padding, and of course those criss crossing lines!

The final step was details like the yellow round the collar and the number 1 on the front and back. Normally I would use a decal for those, but on this one, I felt it would make more work in redoing the colours and black stripes, so I did them by hand this time. Fortunately, there were no names on shirts in 1992!

Laudrup, Denmark

It's still an International Break, so I thought I'd post another international repaint.

Unless I'm mistaken (and about 1500 repaints down the line, it's entirely possible that I am!) I think this is my first Denmark international kit.

Brian Laudrup:

I put this one up on my Facebook page the other day, and when I did, my first thought was about how neat the trim around the collar is!!

I would say that it is the white trim that really elevates this kit from a simple one to a very good one!

... I haven't added a tournament to the labels, as I'm not sure which tournament this kit is from!
