STEELERS of the 70s (drybrush/inkwash)
 

In the 70s there were only 2 teams...

the Steelers

and whomever they trampled.

This is my opus.
My personal stash.
Enjoy.


*also included are a few players from an earlier era...

Great team thmbsp$

For the pants, I don't know what you used on it, but if you want you can try a Vallejo Game Color sepia ink wash. It worked great for me thmbsp$

WOW! John those are AWSOME. That Mean Joe is dead on. If your not doing anything on Friday take a ride. Would be glad to see ya.

Wow
 

Very nice John, yet another great Steeler team. thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$

Steelers love and passion
 

I can see the way you do your Steelers that you know everything there is to know about each player. You really bring the character out of all those players. thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$

Nice Paint JOB!
 

Chachi,

Your team looks incredible! You really did a great job on that painting:)drl$$ thmbsp$

These comments should really mean something coming from a Steeler Hater, such as myself:D

Very nice TV! You've come a LONG way!

How did you get your facemasks to bend? Every throwback facemask I have, when I bend it around a paint brush, it comes to a V, not a C! So I just toss them.

send them to me instead of tossing them the next time.....

k-lo

I know you love the steelers.......
 

BUT DANG< MAN THESE ARE THE BEST YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE 70'S TEAM!


Great details on each and every player!!thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ frstplc frstplc frstplc frstplc frstplc frstplc

Its cool how each of your Steeler's squads have a unique character to them. This particular team is unique due to your dry brush painting style and the customized FF figures and yet it is very different from the "clean" paint look on your customized buzzball team. This team has an obvious personal touch to them that makes them priceless. Great work!

Awesome...

I eventually plan on doing a 70's home team, and a semi current away team... representing a couple of their superbowl wins.

You can buy them. I'm done giving away free stuff.

drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ SWEET LOOKING TEAM CHACHI......

GUttmann what are you selling?

NICE squad, really nice.

WOW!
 

Those are definitely a great looking team. You have very nice variety in the poses, and I agree with others that your personal attachment really comes through in the individuality of the figures.

It's funny that as a kid I hated the Steelers since they kept beating the Cowboys. But, over the years I came to appreciate those teams and especially the players. I have done much reading the past few years into the history of football, and it is amazing how significant those guys are to the game. You did them justice.

What he said lffng$

I use a pair of jewelry needle nose pliers and bend them into the desired shape. It takes a while and you have to be delicate or you will scratch the paint. This way I can mold a near-perfect fit and it certainly enhances the realism.



Thanks for the Feedback Yinz thmbsp$

This would make a great team for the MID- OHIO LEAGUE !!!!!!!!!

I won't be ready for league play for another 2 years :rtfl:

No foolin'.


One day yinz will know the wrath of Chachi!
Or something to that effect,
