Keane, Spurs

(Click to enlarge)

This is the second time I've repainted this Keane figure. The first time was into Leeds kit for my own collection.

Always a fan of hooped socks on a repaint!

Oviedo, Everton

(click to enlarge)

As it's derby day, here's an Everton repaint that I did recently!

This one made use of a lookalike figure; one that I also used for Costa Rica!

I don't have much more to say about it really!

Oviedo himself gave it a favourite and a retweet:

Charlie Adam, Blackpool

(Click to enlarge)

Here's my first ever Soccerstarz figure repaint!

Charlie Adam in the kit Blackpool wore in the Playoff final that saw them promoted to the Premier League for the first time.

This was my first chance to judge a Soccerstarz figure up close. I think the sculpt is pretty good, but am not overkeen on the base, which feels pretty thin and cheap. It was also much smaller than I expected.

I'm still undecided over whether to get myself some Leeds related Soccerstarz to repaint (such as Milner and Snodgrass)

Anyway, in spite of its size, this one didn't give me too many problems.

John Sheridan, Leeds

Perhaps the rarest Leeds repaint in my collection!

I finally managed to get this Sheridan figure as part of a job lot on ebay- a real bargain, after a spell where I was tempted to pay over the odds to get him!

I think it's quite fitting for such a rare figure that it was also the first time that I painted this kit.

So much love for this one!!

Lampard, City

(click to enlarge)

Well, here's a repaint I didn't expect to be doing; Frank Lampard in Man City colours!

It just looks like the wrong shade of blue on him!

A picture of him wearing this kit in a match is pretty hard to come by, thus far!

For what it's worth, I think he's a decent signing for them, tho I'm not sure how much Pellegrini will use him.
