Derby

 Just heard the latest news about Derby, and, yes, it's petty, but after spygate, I can't help but have a little smirk. You'd think they'd have had a bit more nous in banging on about getting another team punished for not breaking any rules, when they're breaking much bigger ones (ie: ones that actually exist) themselves.

So... here are some Derby figures I painted... Any Derby fans want to buy them from me?!

(Not this Wanchope one- it's already sold)

There aren't that many Derby repaints you can do, in relation to some other clubs. 

These were just ones I took out of my box of spares and thought, I'd do. Sometimes I like doing figures I've not seen done before; gives me a bit of motivation, and gets my painting mojo back, when its become a bit of a chore. And it did work, tbf.

So, yeah... Derby fans, strike that first paragraph from your memories, and buy these from me, yes?!

Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard's Derby.

Well, it's been a busy weekend on the repainting front.

I finished 11 figures outright, am on the verge with a few more, have done 3 sets of Goalie glove repaints, and have been to Hobbycraft to top up my paints, including an experimental illuminous yellow!

I also managed to catch a bit of the play-off final...

Unlucky Frank, and unlucky to your 'Jobs for the boys' left back, Ashley Cole:

If only we hadn't contrived to beat ourselves in the play-off semi final... that could have been us not turning up in the final today!!

Just in case this has been too subtle for anyone: I'm very glad Villa won!! Games against Derby this season have just been too much fun... with one exception!

Barton, Derby

Let's carry on with the "should've posted this yesterday but in the end it didn't matter because they dropped points anyway" theme!

Derby County aka Frank Lampard's Derby County played Forest, and as you know I love up to date repaints...

Here's Warren Barton, who played for Derby in the early 2000s. I think he may have even captained them for a while.

This figure wasn't requested; I just did it for kicks, and ended up selling it on eBay.

Ravanelli, Derby

Funny to think this is only my second Derby repaint.

This is another of those figures that I just took out of my spare box, and painted a kit that I thought might interest someone.

I'll probably put it on ebay soon!

Ince, Derby

(Click to enlarge)

I thought I'd better post this pic, as, let's be honest, it's Tom Ince, and a transfer window is approaching!

If you follow my blog or Facebook page, you'll know that I've done a few Tom Ince figures; even though the Paul Ince figure doesn't look that much like him, I just can't resist using it to make Tom!

This Derby kit was quite a simple repaint, to be honest.

It ended up being sold on ebay.
