Milestone

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!)

Terry Phelan, Leeds

My search for Corinthians of players to represent Leeds is leading me to more obscure players!

Phelan emerged from the Leeds Youth academy in the 80s, playing for us 14 times, before moving on to have a fairly successful career at premiership and international level.

Here is pretty much the only photographic evidence that I can find of him in a Leeds shirt!!

Decals

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:

Darren Annon, Enfield FC away

Here's another throwback to my days supporting Enfield FC!

This is Darren Annon in an away kit that I can most accurately describe as 'mid to late 90s'!

Here's his fairly extensive Wiki page...

And here's a pic for those of you that didn't instantly recognise the kit:
