Default Sparty On!

Thanks for all the responses and Reggie and Frank for the photos!

Don't you love college football!?

I grew up only a few miles away from Spartan Stadium and spent most of my life around East Lansing. Nothing like a crisp Saturday Fall morning walking or riding my bike along the Red Cedar for the big game. Frank I can only imagine what it must have been like to actually step on the field before hundreds of cheering fans....

No trade secrets here Reg, just one of your figures for the legs and torso, Bulked him up with the aforementioned Apoxie Sculpt... I cut some thin styrene plastic for his helmet shield and boot shields and paper for some of the accents. (TIP) I used some RR figure's legs for bulked up arms then glued a pair of hands on. Paint and clear coat and volla!! This was fun project and it only took about 2 days. The kids got a big kick out of it and I am looking forward to putting him on a base and having Sparty run out on to the field with the rest of the Spartans!



P.S. ... Put Apoxie Scupt in your E-Bay search (tons of the stuff), comes in different sizes..."Buy it now" option, I got some delivered for about $21.00.
Easy to use, great results, get some today!!
