Another Milestone!

Yesterday, I noticed that my Facebook page had sneaked up to 298 likes. So I took action!

I shared my page on my own personal timeline, and on the Prostars, Microstars and Soccerstarz page. I was pleased with the results!

I was hoping that the shares would take me up to about 305 or so, but to be honest, would have been happy just to reach 300!

A massive increase for 1 day!

400 likes next!!

PS this post also shows you my swanky new(ish) cover photo, done by Eighth Avenue Photography. Good eh? 

Milestone!

Just a quick post to show that my page has rampaged past the 250 likes mark on Facebook... by 2!

Here's a bit of pictorial evidence!

To all my Facebook 'likers', blog readers and twitter followers; ta very much!

New approach:

The other day, I decided to buy a job lot of figures on ebay. None particularly rare, but 60 of them for a reasonable price.

Here they are:

Encouraged by the initial success of my ebay activity, my plan is just to use them to do a few repaints, stick 'em on there, and see how they do!

However (not wanting to miss an opportunity!) if there are any figures you from the picture that you would like to order with a new paint job, please feel free!

Comment here or message me on my facebook page.

Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of this repaint, as I finished it when I was away from home, and didn't have my camera with me.

Tho it's a little sketchy here, in the end, I was very happy with the neatness of the stripes, considering how thin they are.

The Torquay badges show up nicely, and the back has a number nine, but no name, as was the style at the time!

Note a few Le Tisses looking on, as well as a sneak preview of John Colby, and another unfinished repaint that you'll see soon!

Here's a pic of the kit, for comparison:

Good day chums!

For those of you that didn't already know, I also have a facebook page for my Corinthian repaints.

It recently celebrated something of a milestone; ahem... smashing through the 100 fans barrier!

Like I said; smashing!

Anyway, if you'd like to 'like' my facebook page, I'd be eternally grateful!

Thanks

'Hatch' Stallone, Escape to Victory

Here's my latest Escape to Victory repaint.

Obviously I had to choose a 'lookalike' figure for Stallone, so went with Raul.

The only thing that doesn't sit quite right with me on this one is that he isn't in a 'keepers pose. I may attempt to rectify that when I have some time to experiment with head transplants in the summer!

Here he is in the film (in a standard Corinthian keeper pose too!)

Just to give a bit of insight into my process, for anyone who's interested;

 

An important part of my repainting actually doesn't involve paint at all.

While some 'purists' paint all their logos, sponsors, and names and numbers, I think that if transfers were good enough for Corinthian, then they're good enough for me!

This afternoon, I've been editing, and printing some transfers, ready for use:

Developments:

So, with it being a Bank Holiday weekend, I've had the time to do a bit of repainting for the first time in ages! 

No more finished models as yet, but here's a sneak preview of a few works in progress:

Hopefully at least one or two of them will be finished in the next few days; a possibility made more likely by the arrival of this in the post this morning:

A fresh supply of transfer paper!
