Amokachi, Nigeria

Nigeria put in some good performances at the 1994 World Cup, if I remember rightly!

They certainly had a pair of memorable kits! I've already had an attempt at the 'Money kit' on JayJay Okocha, and here's my go at the green kit on Daniel Amokachi.

I was very pleased with this one, which had a lot to contend with!! The green and black patterns in the white part around the neck take the eye, but have a look on the collar as well, for some little green triangles, which certainly add to the whole ensemble!!

I also decided to hand-paint the number on the shorts... this may have been partly influenced by the fact that I forgot to print a decal... I think it looks good though- I was happy with my representation of the font.

...

I do find it pretty amusing that, at time of writing, all the hyperlinks I've added in the first paragraph lead to the same post! Maybe that'll change if I get more Nigeria orders... or World Cup '94 ones.

Here's an international repaint: JayJay Okocha in Nigeria's infamous 'money' kit from the World Cup of 1994.

I enjoyed painting this; the intricate details gave me a challenge!

What I did not enjoy was the guy who asked me to do it not replying to my messages when I sent him the picture of it finished. That's the only time something like that has happened because, fortunately, most of my customers are lovely!

So with that in mind, if anyone wants this figure, it is available! Comment below, or get me on facebook or twitter if you're interested!

... it's the one on the right!
