Hurst, West Ham

West Ham are playing again tonight, so I thought I'd stick a couple of West Ham pics on the blog.

Geoff Hurst, home and away!

I was pleased with these- I've said many times that sometimes simpler kits are more effective... as long as you get the details just right eg shirt number fonts.

Incidentally, the bands round the middle of the away kit were straight- it's just the contours of the figure that made it look wonky on the pic. Honest!!

The guy who bought them was pleased too, commenting they were even better than the versions of this kit that Corinthian released. He was so delighted that he put them on ebay... cheeky beggar!! 

To be honest though, I don't mind- he paid me what I asked, it's up to him what he does with them next... I might not be so gracious if they end up selling for loads!!

Razor Ruddock, West Ham

Razor Ruddock on a Friday, why not!

Another of those that I had a spare of and just fancied painting. That seems to have become a bit of a theme for the week!

I was pleased with the details around the collar on this one!

Anyway, at time of writing, this is still available! Give me a holler if you'd like to buy it!

A couple of Ferdinands!

Keeping on top of the blog posts went well, didn't it?!

Anyway, here's one from a while back. A time when (it seems impossible to say) I had time just to do a few random figures that took my fancy! 

Being as Ferdinand was a very common figure in my box of spares, and he had more clubs than a golfer, I made a few of him, including this one:

And this!!

I think they both went on ebay... neither are still knocking around here, anyway!!

Not sure in which order I did them, but the list of clubs I've repainted Sir Les into includes: Leicester, West Ham (obvs) Bolton, QPR and away kits for Spurs and Newcastle (he was released in home kits for both of these 2)

I've still got a couple of Ferdinand figures amongst my spares, and I'd kind of like to complete the set!! I mean, that would mean tracking down the kits he wore at Hayes, Brentford and Besiktas among others, but still...

A couple of West Ham figures

Cracking result for West Ham today, so here's a reward to rival the 3 points they've received for it; being featured on my blog!!

Here are a couple of players I took out of my box of spares, and painted for my own amusement (plus ebay)

Neither of these players are particularly known for their spells at West Ham- Jones only played for them twice, I think- but they're the kind of repaints that appeal to me! 

I enjoy doing ones that I've never seen before... even more so if they get taken off my hands on ebay, which these both did!
