Ryan Giggs, Team GB

So, those of you who are members of my new facebook page will have already seen this. For those that haven't:

Definitely one of my best yet! I enjoyed painting this one. (More Team GB players to come...)

The badges and name/number are done with decals; the boots and the red no.11 on the front are hand-painted.

Maybe I should have selected a Giggs figure with slightly less hair...

Oh, and because I am pleased with the likeness, and they may otherwise go unnoticed, here are the boots!

Minor Adjustments:

It always bothered me slightly that the 95-96 Leeds Corinthians had the badge on the right and nothing on the left.

So I decided to put that right!

I've added the 'LUFC' script to all of them... apart from Rod Wallace, who I'm still waiting to get hold of! (Not sure whether I would adjust him or not!!)

Denis Irwin, Leeds

Here's Irwin in Leeds 1984-85 kit.

... Don't really have much more to say! I haven't bothered putting on a photo of the back, cos we've all seen the number 2 before! (No names on shirts in those days)

The only pic of Irwin I could find of Irwin in this kit is the team photo:

Le Tissier, Guernsey FC

Some people may have missed this one, but, at 44 years old, Matt le Tissier turned out for Guernsey FC  this season, to help them out with fixture congestion.

Having a double of him in my big box made this inevitable:

This is the first time I've used white transfer paper for the sponsor, badge and number, and it went without a hitch! 

Here's the man himself in action, for those of you that wouldn't already recognise the Guernsey shirt!

This figure is also my first sale since taking up repainting!
