Deano, Sheff Utd

A Sheffield United recently saw my Brian Deane repaint, and liked it so much that he asked for one himself.

So, this happened:

And, I've got to say, this one is way better than the first one. I think my attention to finer detail has improved, as well as my execution as my painting skills have developed.

Improvements to this over the original include the black triangle near the neck (which I somehow missed the first time) and the thin black stripes on either side of the red stripes.

I think the number is also neater!

Here's a photo of Deano in the kit; hopefully it's clear enough to see the details I described:

Defoe, Sunderland

Here's a repaint that I did using a figure from my box of spares... basically cos I thought it might sell on eBay!

Jermaine Defoe in this year's Sunderland kit!

I was pleased with how it ended up. I thought the gold trim on the kit looks good!

It didn't sell on eBay, so if you're interested in it, just get in contact with me! 

Come on Sunderland fans!

Subbuteo XL, Leeds tracksuits

Without further ado, here are the final 3 (for the time being at least!) XL Subbuteo Leeds United 1970s pre-match tracksuit figures.

Phew!

Pics added in sock tab number order, of course!

van Buyten, City

Here's a quick post of a Man City Microstar repaint.

Daniel van Buyten had a short spell at City in 2004, and only played for them 5 times in the league.

I was surprised too!

This was a pretty simple but effective little repaint... the socks are my favourite bit!

Newcastle custom figure

Here's another of those completely custom jobs that occasionally comes up.

A customer wanted a figure of his mate, so he sent me a pic, and I gave him a shortlist of lookalikes, before we settled on this one.

From there, he told me all the features he wanted, including the exact kit (a classic, btw!) name and shirt number, name on the base, hair and even earrings!

I love how it turned out, and the customer commented that he couldn't believe how much it looked like its recipient!

The highlights were... um... a particular highlight!
