Custom poses I've done over the years

Here are some figures I've created -- some fron scratch, others by remodeling Tudor figures. As you can see, I'm a Packers fan and "old school" in my interests.

That Hard-Chargin RB in the first pic is brilliant.

Great Work All Around!!!

Yeah man, that pose is really nice. it has movement in motion while in the stationary position. i have only seen a few figs that are like that (one being that RR Earl Campbell).

And like K-LO just said, show us some more of the work.

Figs can get all decked out, apoxied up, melted down, heated to the side,
but you know what? There is still a place and something to be said for old skool lookin tudor figs as well.
THis is GREAT stuff.

Great job!!! I luv the Kicker of the Rams

To answer those coaches who wanted to know what I used, I once used Sculpey, a brand of polymer clay that you bake in the oven. It works pretty well, but the drawback is, when you try to make a mold of your original figure to duplicate it, the hardened clay is likely to break as you take it out of the mold. A few of my original pieces have really taken a beating from this.

So, now I use a two-part resin compound that works like clay when you blend the two components but eventually hardens up, after an hour or so, and has the toughness almost equal to injection molded plastic.

Some figures, like Lombardi, Hornung, Taylor and Kramer were done from scatch. Others, like Elroy Hirsch, Payton, Starr and Stabler were a combination of "Frankensteining" some Tudor figures and augmenting them with resin.

I've been asked to do a story for the upcoming edition of The Tweak, so I'll get into full details there.

Coach Lomax, I hear ya. I know these figures are old to you, but they're new to a lot of the coaches. Plus, I've been hibernating when it comes to EF and scupting. I'll try to get back to it soon. My next goal is capture the great Jim Brown in resin. Wish me luck.
