Sheringham XLs

 Today seems as good a day as any for some Sheringham XL figures; 3 in fact!

I'm pretty sure I've painted more XLs of Sheringham than anyone else! Les Ferdinand second!

Tadaaaaa!

Can't be bothered writing mush today, so thought I'd treat you to 4 pics!!

Larsson, Helsingborgs... part 2.

Time for a quick end of the day blog post before I go to bed.

I scrolled through my repaints folder, looking for some likely figures, and settled on these 2:

Larsson, in his Helsingborgs days! 

A quick check through the archive confirmed that I have done just one Helsingborg figure before these; Larsson in a different kit! (In case you were wondering, that's why this post is entitled: Part 2, though a long time has passed between the original and the sequels!)

These were for a Celtic fan, who has Larsson's whole career as something of a project!

They were both nice, simple figures, to be fair; especially that second one!

My First Barnsley figures:

For the first time: Barnsley figures!

When a Barnsley fan got in contact with me, he was after a Neil Redfearn figure if I remember correctly. I explained that, while it would be possible, using a 'lookalike', I could also look into the figures made who did play for Barnsley.

What followed was a relatively short list, and from it, he chose these 2:

Comments on this one: I love the socks! I also feel the need to comment that I know he wouldn't have had his name on the shirt in this season, but that was the buyer's preference.

 Pretty sizeable collar on this one!! I'm not sure if the white on red exaggerates it or something, but it looks massive!! I also think the name and number look really sharp and clear.

My final comment... it pleases me that these are in both time and number order!!

van Dijk, Celtic home kits

van Dijk... or Virgil as he seemed to want to be called at Celtic! Here are a couple of Kodoto figures, with the promise of more to come (away kits!)

I've had plenty of practice of doing hoops lately, with big QPR and Celtic orders, and it's a good job too, with these 2! Look at the thin white hoops within the green hoops on the top one, and the little ones next to the thick hoops on the bottom one!

Thes figures also have captain's armbands added. Recommendation when doing these: check is the buyer has any intention of moving the arms, and if not- keep them very still!!

Barca x2

A couple of Barcelona figures today, why not?

 I did 2 similar figures a couple of years ago, but in the kit from the season before... or maybe after! I remember them being quite tricky as their wasn't a central stripe, which, I think I've mentioned before is the one that is key for me in getting it even!

With that in mind, I'd say these 2 were a bit easier for me... and probably better too.

Click the Barcelona tag if you want to compare them. you won't have to scroll back far. Probably!
