New Dewayne Jennings/Electric Gridiron Figures
 
12 Attachment(s)
These sculpts are amazing. They are as nice as any model figures I have ever seen in any scale. There is so much detail that I don't even know where to start. I did a few of my favorite current players that go with each pose. The versatility of these figures is great and I was able to capture the gesture of the players with just a little adjustment of the angle of the head and arms. I did use some acrylic gel in places to fill in and to extend Brady's sleeves a little. The face masks are also Electric Gridiron. I have been trying to make more of the detail decals such as NFL tags and tiny logos, but they tend to get a little fuzzy when printed small, so I may stick to painting them. As usual, I just now realized that I needed to paint the logos on Mawae's sleeves. Thanks, Michael

Dewayne Jennings Figures
 
Thanks for your comments.

I reread my wording and I am afraid it could be taken wrong. I did not mean to sound like I was talking up my own paint job. I was just trying to express how good the new figures are. I have made historical model figures in almost every scale as well as wargames figures for many games, and these new Dewayne Jennings figures are as good as anything I have ever seen.

I didn't know whether to call these Electric Gridiron figures or Dewayne Jennings figures. What are they officially called?

Also, I made my forum name before I ever even knew of Electric Gridiron, so that was just an odd coincidence. (I just wanted to clarify that.)

As for the acrylic gel, it is a painting medium that is sold in the artist paints section at the hobby store. Heavy gel sometimes comes in a tube, but the regular gel and heavy body medium come in plastic jars. You will end up with much more than you will need, so if you are in a league perhaps several people can pitch in and buy a jar and split it up, then just mix it in a small tupperware type container and it keeps for along time. Use a small round brush and "sculpt" the detail you want. It may shrink slightly, but usually I don't notice unless I have filled a large gap with it. It will dry pretty fast so you can add a coat in about 5 to 10 minutes. When I apply facemasks I used it with a touch of water (never more than about 25%) and it works very well as it will hold, but still allow you to adjust the facemask carefully.

Oh, and Jamel G, I am not even from Ohio, so they don't have a monopoly. :D

I have checked several online hobby stores and found several irems which match your description of acrylic gel medium. What type and brand do you use? Thanks!

gridironpainter 08-06-2009 11:31 AM

Medium.
 
What I have right now is Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium, but Golden is also a very good brand. Really just about any of the artist grade mediums will do fine. Just make sure there is nothing added to the medium for texture. Some of them have beads, glitter, and other chunks of stuff that you don't want.

For those near a HOBBY LOBBY, they have an online coupon for 40% off. If you go to the sales/ promotion link it will take you to the coupon. You can use one per day on any item. They run that coupon a couple of times a month, so if you miss the sale, just keep checking and it will come back around. The sales run from Monday thru Saturday.
