1979 Houston Oilers
 

If this works I'll respond to who customed what. I've done this three times so hopefully it works.Thanks for the help guys.

It worked!!!! Finally
 

Now once again I can finally tell you who did what. Foru2hate custom made my #34,#37.#33,#51,#52. Bruce Watts custom made my #45,#32 and my board. Reggie R. made my dress kit and I used three of his figures in #27,#75,#74 of the many I still have. I also used a lot of his figure's hands on most of my Buzzball figures. I got my drop back passer from M.Klingbiel, and Miggle proline player is #54. I used Buzzball figures for most of my men including my own custom players. I custom made #7 handing off, #86,#82,#65,#78. I have to also say a big thank you to Beenutt for his uniform decals and shoe decals. I got the towels,Tatts,and gloves from Decal master. The facemask were from D.Jennings. Also, a huge thank you goes out to Jeff Priest for all the help, and for giving me a lot of things. Bruce Watts showed me how to do the neck Rolls and actually gave me the courage to cut my figures and custom make my own. When I picked up my board from him I learned a lot from him and J.Priest.
Thanks to all of you for all the help. This is just the start. God willing....

P.s
 

I also custom made #00,#55. I also forgot to thank Smitty and Renee for teaching me a lot from their video. I used almost all your ideas in making a pass catching net,to "the pit" and many others things you said were important to have for electric football. I got a lot of great knowledge from you guys. Sorry to ramble on.I just hate to forget anyone which I'm sure I did.

'79 Oliers...
 

Frank,

Great job on those Oilers of yours. It looks like no matter who made the figures, they all seem to blend together quite nicely. This makes their overall appearance look really good. You also took some really good photos. Thanks for sharing.

those are sweet!
 

Dan Pastorini never looked so good. Beautiful job!

Good job on the photos. I like the oudoor shots with the Houston skyline. I haven't seen a shot like that before.
I think you hold the record for most photos in one post!:D

Frank,
You know how I am LOVING those Oilers!!! Wish I could paint my team up as the Oilers, but I am going to be the 49ers in the GLEFL, so I have to go that route.

Can't want to hook up and get a game in...
Mark

Oilers are getting a lot of love these days and MAN THEY ARE OUTSTANDING!!


Great pictures, too. The skills and the artisic work from all the guys who are in the hobby gets better and better every post. Excellent choice in figures for your positions and great color.

Love the skyline backdrop also.... you know that would be one of the recruiting shots to promote your league down there.

Hope that you can hit the traveling tournament curcuit sometime so I can drooool over them in public!

Thanks for posting and breaking down your team.

Great Job.

K-LO

p.s - maybe change your aviatar to these guys so we can feel them on each post.

excellent work!! i like the old style gumball helmets on the carrying case as well.:D
keep it up!!

Gumball helmets
 

When I was a kid my friends and I would go to Kroger and push customers cart to their car and unload it. Most of the time they would give somewhere between fifty cents to a quarter. We'd take our money and put it right back into the gumball machine. I had, and still have, about sixty of them trying to get all the teams. Man was I happy when I got my last team after about two months of trying. That last team I needed ,and got, was the New England Patriots.

too pretty not to have on the main page!!!

Franny J, I might need to talk about some of these figures!!!drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ drl$$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ ppls$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$

Don't matter how good those Oilers look , it will NOT help them vs . the mighty Bucs defense otherwise known as AGENT ORANGE !!!!!!!

This is the first I am seeing these. Frank you did an awsome , awsome job! I actually miss the Oilers and I am a Steeler fan. My brother and I used to buy the bubble gum helmets and stick them on our GI-Joes and Big Jim's head. Instant football team!ppls$

I must say, I've been looking at EF pics for years on all the chatboards, but this was a definite masterpiece! The photography is outstanding! Luv Ya Blue! We all miss the Houston Oilers and it is my mission in life to bring them back!

Thanks for this great post.

By the way, what city is that skyline? Someone said Houston, but I don't think so.

Those uniforms are spectacular! Great work by all involved. If they ever give out awards for posts, this one gets my vote!

drl$$ my 1st use of "the drooler" icon! LOL!

The skyline is Cincinnati.

Wow !!!!!!

Regards, Benster

Wow, Frank those Oilers are bad ********** nice. That original post was before I had found this site and got hooked up w/you guys. I'm a Browns fan at heart, but always loved when the Oilers came to town, they had some class guys who were tuff as nails on those teams. Again, thx for sharing, and I guess I'll get to see them up close & personalppls$ ppls$ l very soon.
