Thanks for you compliments.

I certainly agree about there being a distinction in styles in the contest. Perhaps the breakdown could be based on type or size of figure. I know that there is a big difference between standard figures and Electric Gridiron figures. The size difference and sculpting makes the amount of detail alot easier to paint and add.

I do not want my work to discourage other people!

I have just been trying to push my techniques to the maximum realism to see how far it can go. I still like my 1969 Super bowl Chiefs as well as any figures I have or have done. They are not nearly as detailed as these figures, but I like that they are a truly customized team, and still look good when I play them against regular tudor/miggle figures.

I can't really use Dewayne Jenning's figures against the regular ones as they look like a different scale and they have so much more detail. Also, the weight advantage makes it hard to make the game competitive with out adding weight to the regular ones.

I guess this is one more thing that will have to be worked out by the competition rules commitee.

Thanks again for your encouragement.
