Giants offensive squad, work in progress

[the french guy]

Hi,


Today I started my new miniature football 4.0g offensive squad, New York Giants based 2010 roster.

You already know the first figure of it (running back). The concept of that team is to change the figure brand (usually I use ff.net figs) : this time I will use mostly buzzball figs, with some excalibur, ff.net and bigmen bits also, and during the sculpting process, I'll try to make a more realistic look than my other teams (wich have more "super heroes" look and feel). Of course as usual, I'll make detailed muscles and faces too.

I also choosed to make a dynamic look, typical "after snap" vision of the squad, to make a contrast with the static look of the stock figures.

I'm also in recycling state of mind : most of the figures has been given by a good friend of mine, some were painted, or customized, I removed paint and re-cut more or less everything. Thanks to him


Here's the early stages of the customization process. So, for now, they looks like Frankeinstein monsters, made from diferent bits, without an overall homogeneity, but it's a part of the fun : making a good looking team from "garbage" figs and bits.
