Robben, Bayern

I've only done 4 Soccerserie figures in total, and two of them have been Robben!

Here's the second one:

This one was a simpler kit than the first, but still looks great in my humble opinion!

The main problem I had with it was that the red paint I had bought was really thin, for some reason! It was solved by an extra coat or two, and careful placement of the figure when it was drying!

I was also pleased that I had the stand available to use for the photo of this one, and the Klose figure; it looked better than with just me holding it by one of the feet!

Ok... so the figure has a little too much hair!

Klose Soccerserie, Bayern

A while back, I painted my first Soccerseries figures. Recently I was offered the chance to paint a couple more! 

Here's the first:

Another Bayern Munich one!

I was pleased with how it turned out!

Miroslav Klose played 149 games for Bayern in all competitions, scoring 53 goals. A pretty good record at a little over 1 every 3 games.

Here's the picture of the real Klose in the kit:

Another Bayern Soccerserie coming soon!

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.

Robben, Bayern Soccerserie.

I'm always keen to paint different types or brands of figures when I get the chance, so when one of my regulars asked me about repainting a couple of Soccerserie figures, I was keen to give it a go.

Here's the result:

As you can see, it's Arjen Robben, with a little more hair than we've become accustomed to seeing him with, in Bayern kit!

I enjoyed painting it a lot! In some ways, painting bigger figures is easier, on account of details and lines not having to be as thin.

As with the Wanchope Vivid Imaginations figure I did, one of the more time consuming elements of this one was the fact that it's originally shiny finish made it need more coats of paint than a standard Prostar, and a little more care to ensure an even finish.

Overall tho, I was delighted with it! Gladly, my customer was too!

Here's the shirt, to compare it to:
