Creation of Jim Brown

[Sparticus]

Incredible. In only 60 seconds. Heck, that would have taken me an hour and my thumb and forefinger would be forever glued together. Needless to say the figure would look like he belongs to the PBA tour.

Nice!! With the cutting and glue method, how many bags figures do you go through to make a team?????

Jeff, I can attest that Reg's figures are so easy to work with. It will be well worth saving you laundry money.

takes 1 bag. Most of the stock poses can be transferred or re-created into a totally different pose. Then, sometimes, you can take the torso of one pose and put it on another lower torso, and right there, you've created the makings of another custom pose. Jim Brown was an unusual case. It was a test piece, which sometimes if you do not know what you are doing, you tend to use more. That Jim Brown pose could have been done with 2 figures but I did not do all the research.

I give out SO MUCH information on how to create the custom poses that buying the DVDs alone make it so much easier for you to create what you want. As an engineer, one of the things you have to get good at is testing out the product design.

You have to think everything that I do in the game, it is well thought out and recorded. For each pose, the 1,200 poses, I have written up how to create that figure. Documented it by re-creating it and then filmed it.

I do this so my customers are paying the least in creating figures and teams. The hope is that guys will appreciate what I do in this way and support the product. Think about it. If I do a figure for a person, I charge $20 to do everything. If you buy the DVDs that I create, you get 24 figures and can make 20 plus custom poses. I've done the work to make things easier for my customers.

Here's the outline for creating Jim Brown. Imagine, for 1200 poses because I sometimes forget what I do. I need records of it.

How to create Jim Brown:
Jim Brown
1. This figure is a combination of the Punisher, Blitzer, and the Barry pose.
2. Cut the Punisher from the platform.
3. Cut the right leg off at the knee and from the platform.
4. Place the Barry’s knee on the Punisher’s leg.
5. Apply a dab of glue to the back right side of the platform.
6. Place the new figure left leg at that spot.
7. Use accelerator to stabilize.
8. Cut the upper torso off and turn it about 45 degrees to go straight ahead.
9. Cut the right arm off at the shoulder and re-orientate it to go towards the ground.
10. Create the tapered look on the right arm by cutting the arm from the shoulder pad above the arm stripes.
11. Then make the shoulder pads more blocked by cutting into them and smoothing them out.
12. Cut the right arm of the Blitzer off, right above the arm stripes.
13. You may have to cut around this to make the arm smoother.
14. Then apply glue under the shoulder pad and place the arm.
15. Heat the hand up and raise it up to look like a stiff-arm look.
16. Cut the head off and turn it the other way.

Just had a guy call saying he made this pose and painted him up and put him on his team of Cleveland Browns. It did me good to hear that!

First game my dad ever took me to see in Philly, I was down by the end zone, and Mr. Brown made a couple visits. What an athlete. Also one of the greatest lacrosse players ever.
