nice job ppls$

The Iowa Hawkeyes are my next team, with my favorite players from 2000-current. This would include Brad Banks, Shonn Greene, Ed Hinkel, Chad Greenway and more.


Thanks for the other kind words too.

Very impressed with your work Mike keep doing what you do .

Overall a great job

I really like your Page figure.

I would tream the chin straps a little

I was thinking that too, they are really long.

If you can, put Ronnie Harmon on that team. He has always been one my favorites. He is outta Queens, NYC right here. I played football against many of his teammates from Bayside HS. The ones who didnt make it to the big league. :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

I will make sure to.

Raidermike does excellent decals if you are looking to try some different ones out. Beenutt does high quality decal work too.

I think the Miggle chin straps work pretty good and they are not too expensive. If your going through the trouble anyway, might as well just buy some of those and make it easier on yourself. When you consider the amount of time and effort you put in to the figures, it is worth it.

great, great stuff.

Michael, It is always great to see your work. I'm not sure, but I don't think there are alot of kids left that are willing to put aside their video games and internet to take on a project like this. You make me proud!

Cut those dang chinstraps down, they look like REAL Viking horns...:D

Seriously though...GREAT job and keep it up!

:rtfl: I already did:D thanks for the kind words everybody.

Outstanding Job on this one....you need some shoes for these players, let me know!thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$

Taylor, I love what you do!!!
 

Taylor,

You've got to come down to Texas and spend a weekend with me and my family!! I love what you are doing with the Vikes as you know that is my favorite team as well and the '75 was my favorite team of all time!

Thanks for trying the facemask in that way. You are improving and improving and show great passion in your work. I wish I had the mad skillz that you have at your age. You are gonna be incredible at this customizing thing for many years to come. Keep doing what you do. I will offer one little bit of advice. You know where the arms have the ridges?

Cut those off to make the shirts look tapered. This will make the arms look bigger and more defined. Other than that, keep doing what you do! You're 12 and you are leading the pack on customizing!

You are definitely "The Future Man"! Now that you got summer coming up, you need to get to it with your creativity.
