You catched well the QB stance with the bottom foot modification : the figure looks more dynamic !

Taylor, you are doing a great job. Here are a few suggestions after looking at your work closely. One day, you're going to be the greatest customizer and artist around. I have no doubt!

Reg

1. Cut the Field General from the platform.
2. Cut the right arm and shoulder off.
3. You are gonna take another player like the Howie pose or the Molester pose and use that arm.
4. Keep that football or make a hard football using bubble gum or clay.
5. Once the player is off the platform, heat the right side of the player at the waist line.
6. Submerge in cold ice water.
7. Make sure at this point, the player has a natural bend up towards the sky. Not that hig up.
8. Take the lighter and heat his right leg at the calf.
9. Stretch it out slightly and bend the knee slightly.
10. It might not need to be bent because it is already bent somewhart.
11. In order to widen the stance, apply the heat under the body/butt and pull apart and then immerse the figure in ice water.
12. On his left arm, you can replace with the other Howie arm and lower it or just use what you got.
13. Put heat on it and lower it.
14. Cut the head off and tilt just a little towards the side.
15. Look closely at the detail of this. The Gunslinger’s head is naturally angled out about 15 degrees but you want it to look straight ahead with a slight tilt.
16. At this point, apply the other arm (right arm) and put a ball in it.
17. Glue the right leg down but know that the left leg is not down on the ground.
18. Therefore, you’ve got to angle the right leg up ever so slightly.
19. A trick that is most helpfulf to make more of a block pad is to cut the pads under the exterior to make a straight line. This will give the pad a block-type pad look.
20. Get the ridges off using the exacto kniefe but be careful.
21. At this point, you should have the perfect Fran Tarkenton.

I AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to post on this as well. Just that suttle move of the leg, changed the whole dynamic of that stock pose. Just that small adjustment to the leg. I LOVE IT!!!!!

I tend to make the entire body all dynamic lookin when i customize, sometimes going over board. I have learned something from you 'YoungFella' (TM) , thank you.
