Default odl school jerseys

Hi,

Here's the sculpting almost daily report

Today, I made the jersey sculpting. Following photos I've seen of that period (70's), the jerseys were quite large. So I adapted the figures to that observation, sculpting the jerseys.


Here's the pics. Now I have to make the faces and chinstraps. Finally, I'll clean and sand the fig and undercoat it, then I'll paint the skin tone and face

I love your work! I have been trying my hand at using green stuff as well after seeing your 49s. i think someone else asked but i cant seem to find it, what tools do you use to shape the arms and faces?

I've got plenty of tools, but basically you can start with only that 2 tools. The first rubber brush can be found in arts supply shops, and the other one can be found in creative activities shops or wargaming shops

Default Jersey was different in those days

It seems like the padding was larger back then also. Players wore more of them than in todays game.

With your changes, it should come out just great.

Still thinks the guy should have you do a #63 Leroy Selmon, but maybe he already has him on the roster!!!

Keep us posted

Default daily report

Hi,

Today I made the (really) sculpted faces and I sanded and fixed the helmets. Now I remember why I use the Xacto sculpting technic on most of my own figures the "real sculpting technic" like I used on that 2 buc figs brings better results, but it's also more difficult and take quite long time too.

I honestly don't know if I 'll propose that sculpting service for my possible future customization bartering-based services...


I choosed to represent the 2 players with beard, since I found a lot of pics of them like that. And I like the look it gives, especially for a 70's team !

Tommorow, I'll finish the sculpting, fixing defects and adding chinstraps.


Dimitri
