Base weight

[Pirate Rick]

seen your post... btw awsome looking team... if you really feel the need to stick with the 4.0 standard using ff.net figs customized the way your doing, one tip i can give you is to remove the player from his little platform and replace it with a lite weight stif clear plastic or a playing card... then re-decorate that with grass.
just removing his platform will save you almost a full gram of weight in "dead" plastic.

hope that helps alittle.

thank you, Rick, for the comments on my team and for the advise


I think you're right for the plateforms. I've got thin plasticard which should do the job perfectly. On that team (and the future steelers team for my brother) I'll keep the "new open rules" 3.6 - 4.0 -4.2grams, and for "super heavy mammoth" players (defensive, for example) I'll use your tip to make them 4.2g legal.


One of my future 2010 projects is to make a "super detailled" 3.3grams legal team, real 28mm scale (like fab5), BTW !
