WARHAMMER HAS A PAINT CALLED (SNAKEBITE LEATHER ). I have not seen this paint yet(going this week). Just curious to what this paint looks like.
They use it for leather straps on there figures.

it's a light brown. Too clear to make a good football without any other treatments (washes). But a very good leather basic coating option

Dre,

I have about 200 of them I made out of milliput. I tried selling them the last 2 years at the Miggle convention and Buzzfest. No takers. It's probably easier for the customizer of the figure to make their own, as their vision is what they want to see.

Color of footballs is - Barn Yard Red(available at Michaels)

Mike

Default IMHO

a good football option for MF should be a real football to use instead of miggle foam/felt ones. Imagine a detailed realistic ball, made of rubber, neoprene or silicone, for example, wich you can really use to play : that should be a great improvement.

For "static" football, as Guttmann says, it's easier to use the ready made FF.net skills players (for example) or add a little ball made of you own (see my Niners center, it's what I did).

Whats the best way to make your own football anyways? And what are the dimensions of the 'standard sized' football?

Paying miggle double the price of the balls in shipping just doesn't make sense to me, so making my own might be an option.
