Real Madrid Icons

A quick post, before I go to bed!

2 massive talismanic figures in the history of Real Madrid!

I really like the Di Stefano one- while it's one of the simplest repaints I've done, it's another case of a simple one being extremely effective... in my eyes at leasr!

And Ronaldo as well!

Aimar, Valencia

I've never posted a Valencia figure on this blog... until now!!

Here's Pablo Aimar:

Other than saying it's the first Valencia figure I've done, there isn't much more to say about it!

A pretty standard repaint, really.

Redondo, Real

I always like to receive confirmation that figures have arrived before I put the pictures here (or on my Facbeook page) just in case there are any problems, anything that needs to be sorted out etc.

Today, I found out that a parcel I sent has finally arrived in Argentina, so now, I can post the pictures of some absolute beauties!!

Let's start with Redondo!

Two Real Madrid repaints. I was delighted with these- absolutely love the number font, and the full kit definitely takes me back to my childhood; unless I am mistaken, it's the black kit in which Redondo danced around the Man United defence at Old Trafford in the Champions League!

Solid start from the box that went to Argentina... plenty more rare repaints to come! Including clubs and figures that I had never painted before!

Excited to share them with you!

Atletico Madrid x2

Those of you that read this blog regularly (anyone?!) will know that I often say: I enjoy the chance to try different kits for the first time.

Well, I have done one Atleti figure before, but this batch let me loose on 5 different kits!

Here are the first 2:

Yes... they are in number order, because I don't really know which shirt came first timewise!

I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I feel I've become massively better at striped kits over the last... I'm gonna say six months or so! 

I was very happy with these repaints. For those playing 'Marc Blog Bingo' I'm gonna mention how happy I am with the number fonts too!

To be completely honest, the bases aren't my cup of tea, but the guy who requested them seemed happy enough!

Overall, a pleasing pair. Ooh, er matron!!

Juninho, Atletico

I've done a few Real and Barca repaints, but this is my first of any other La Liga side.

Here's the reason I did a season as Atletico Madrid on Fifa '98: Juninho!

McManaman, Real Madrid

Here's a repaint that I just fancied doing (and thought I might be able to sell to someone!) when I looked through my box of spares.

I think it was something to do with licensing that meant few, if any, Real Madrid figures were done.

This is my first Real repaint, anyway.

If you want it, get in contact!

If you want it but aren't so bold, keep your eyes on ebay in the next few weeks!

Larsson, Barcelona x2

(Click to enlarge)

These repaints are the latest in the 'series' requested by a big Larsson fan, attempting to chronicle his whole career in corinthian form!

While there were many Celtic figures of him released, last month saw me repaint him in Feyenoord away kit, and this month, a couple of Barcelona!

I think he has a few more planned too!

I was glad that Larsson did well at Barcelona, while his record at Celtic was incredible, I think this move, and his roughly 1 in 3 goal ratio while there helped to put to bed the idea that he couldn't do it in a better league.
