My dream team!
 

I thought I would show the early stage of what I am working on. Although it has been a slow start, my summer project is going to be the late 70's Cowboys, mostly from 1977 with a few from other years added in. I know alot of you hate the Cowboys :fghttt: , but they were the team I liked when I first started playing EF ltsplbll , and never have had. (I only have '92)

I had accumulated enough Electric Gridiron figures in trade for painting to make a special team for myself. So this is my own dream team.

After seeing the great tutorial by Dimitri (The French Guy) thmbsp$ , I tried using the green stuff to customize the figures. Actually, I wanted to make some of the hands using Megawatts method, but I could not make them look anywhere near as good as his and I gave up, so I am even more impressed with what he does ppls$ .

Although I had used it before, I had not put much effort into it. It can be a bit tricky to get it to do what you want. I got frustrated alot at first, but eventually I found my own methods. I think there is alot of potential in using it.

The hardest was sculpting a head (I had lost one). I think it works best if you make a smaller shape, let that set up, then sculpt the details over it.

The second shot is of a few of the more involved custom poses. The reciever will have the hand with the ball added after he is painted and the mask is applied.

I will add more shots when I get them painted.

Please forgive my smiley indulgence. :rtfl: :nhnh: :dohdh: :D

Thanks for looking,
Michael
