Default Creating the Look Back Receiver

Turn a $1.50 stock pose into a $25 masterpiece!
This player is one of the very difficult players to stop with an arrow base front. Even my shutdown corners have a hard time locking this guy up for 4 Quarters. I don't think too many other MF/EF companies will give you this type of up close knowledge.

Creating the Left Look Back Receiver..,.

1. This figure is created from the Freak pose.
2. Cut the player from the platform.
3. Cut the right leg at the upper knee area.
4. Apply Super Glue to the cut area.
5. Replace the lower leg with the lower leg of the Barry figure.
6. Make sure you angle the leg like it is going in.,
7. This will have an impact on the natural running tendency of the player.
8. Cut the upper torso from the lower torso at the waist line.
9. From the upper torso, cut the left shoulder off at the indented line.
10. Cut the head from the upper torso.
11. Now, put a small dab of super glue at the center of the platform.
12. Place the lower half torso left leg at that center spot.
13. Hold in place for about 20 seconds.
14. Put a dab of super glue on the lower torso waist line.
15. Take the upper torso body and turn it at about a 70 to 90 degree angle from lower torso.
16. Apply the upper torso to the lower torso at this point.
17. Apply some Super Glue to the left cut shoulder area.
18. Place the left shoulder and arm on the left side with it orientated in a reaching motion.
19. At this point, use the lighter on the right arm to cradle his arm in,.,
20. On the left side, burn the arm and push in slightly.
21. Make certain that it is in a cradling position.
22. Immerse in cold ice water and allow to harden.
23. Put a dab of Super Glue on the upper torso neck area.
24. Position the cut off helmet to look back towards the ball and place on the neck area.
25. Allow the player to dry.
26. Place a ball in the players hand to give it the catching effect.
27. Put this player on a rookie base and he will be your deep threat homerun hitter.

Default Nice Job!!!

Nice work - Paul W is one of my all time favorite players. I can't wait to see him in person and get a chance to meet you and play a few games.

Default Coach, Great ...

first try! Touch up the arms around the sleeves to make the paint straight. Bring the arms closer in to avoid the corners clutching and grabbing. Put the grass on the platform with Modge Pogde. Let it dry. Then pain the grass Christmas green. Paint the inside palm of the hand gray or white or something to make it look like a finished glove. Touch up the leg stripe. Spray some masking tape white and create little stripes for the facemask. Use some aqua facemask. Put a towel on the right side hip to hide the missing piece of stripe and you are set.

And it will be tight. Great re-creation. Now, you are definitely on your way! I already see the drug is starting to kick in!

The look back reciever, one of the easiest to make using FF.com figures. Here is Terrell owens, one of many of my "look backk" recievers. THis one is made quite simply from the sprinter pose with different arms, a little cutting, a little heat to get the arms to create a "cradle".

I love the look back reciever!

Here's Johnnie Morton, looking back to catch the slant. This pose looks good catching the fade in the back left corner endzone too. This pose is quite simply made mainly from the speed demon.
