Custom Vikings finished

[HOOP]

Mike,

First off, this team is exquisite. Always clean and fresh, your customs really come to life and look even better in the final product. The stock figures as well, dont look like stocks any longer and start to take on real-being look.

I also appreciate the detailing of materials used. I am about to finish a huge (and my very 1st all detailed team) of Cowboys, this weekend. Just last night, I was wondering in what order should i apply the different coats. Well, i dont have to wonder anymore, thank you.

But in expression of all the guys out here who detail, i love how each guy kinda has a signature move. You and your neck lines really bring out the flow of the shoulders, almost looking like they are in motion - outstanding stuff.

But for real, i think i am gonna go teenager again and start saving my money for a GUTTMAN team. I am huge on having some kind of piece of work from you guys in my collection, anything at all. And i now NEED to see one of your paint jobs on some of my custom figures. We have talked about it in the past, but now, that talk needs to happen. The GUTTMAN fund will start today, saving pennies and $$$ the best i can. I know this sounds silly, but thats how excited i am right now to imagine a team from you in my collect.

Good stuff Mike. Real good looking team.

Even though they are the "Vikings", great work is great work. Job well done Mike.

I especially like the away Tarkenton, DL's with their hands facing the OL, the Blair pose is really tight, and I always like the hiking center.

Way to represent!

Another fantastic team Mike! Perfect timing to inspire me as I am just starting two teams of Vikings, current and classic jerseys.

As my kids would say, "Those are awesome possum!"

Did you say that you made the chinstraps? Those look really cool. Are you selling them or was that just a one time project for you? Let me know. I might be interested in ordering some.

I have some Mike Beal Air Force Falcons
Some Chris Stacey in about five teams
Mike Guttman did my Giants for this year!

I am a huge fan of the dull finish and highlighted helmet. When I first saw it I took a step back. Then, I laid them out, went somewhere and came back. When I looked at them again they looked so real. Most jerseys and pants don't reflect light. That finish is the real deal and I am noticing it showing up more often. Again great job Mike!

Beautiful!

Real nice work on them Vikes

[ChrisStacey]

Mike,
Great job.Very nice indeed.I know how
some guys like their squads "shiny" and
that's cool,to each their own.Hey I use to
like them that way too,until I saw a team
done with Testors DullCote spray.I fell in
love with it and do all my teams and alot of
jobs that way.I give the customer his choice
and if they're not sure I go with the DullCote
finish.It just looks good and more realistic in
my opinion.Plus the DullCote is much easier to
apply.I've not had good luck with Gloss spray
of any kind.So if I have to gloss a team ,I brush it
on.I use either Delta Ceram Coat -Gloss or TAMIYA
X-22 gloss clear coat.Both are good.
But back to your Vikes.....they look great.
Very nice job.

SEMPER FI,

RMan-Yes, I'm making my own chinstraps. Can't see paying $10 for 33 of them. I sent you and two others samples to try. You can let me know what you think and what changes I should make.

Chris Stacey-The best Gloss Spray out there is Triple Thick gloss spray! I have never had an issue with it. The last 3 teams I did for Raiderman I used it. Ask him how they look.

Thanks for the praises everyone! Next-I'm doing a team in honor of CorEy.
