Lampard, Swansea

(Click to enlarge)

Here's a kit that I've done before, albeit on a different figure.

Unbeknownst to many, Frank Lampard had a brief loan spell at Swansea City in 1995-96, where he played 9 times, and scored once.

As I said last time I painted this kit, there is something deliciously mid-90s, lower league about it!

Fun to paint!

Anyway, here's Frank (in a long sleeved version of the shirt!)

Ebaying

Well, this week saw me take the plunge, and list some of the figures that I'd repainted, but didn't want for my own collection, on ebay.

The figures in question were Darren Anderton, and Frank Lampard.

Considering that these weren't requested by anyone, I was delighted to see that they both sold!

The Lampard one even went for more than I usually charge for a custom repaint!

Experiment successful! Keep your eye out for a few more listings!

I can't remember the exact details, but a while back, I came across a youtube video of a teenage Frank Lampard making his debut on loan for Swansea City.

While a normal person would have just thought "Oh, that's interesting," I immediately decided that I needed to paint a Corinthian of it!

And the above was the result.

There's something great about mid 90s lower league kits! I enjoyed painting this one!

Here's a fresh-faced Frank:

(EDIT- This figure was one of my first to be 'ebayed', with encouraging results!)
