Thanks for your comments.

I reread my wording and I am afraid it could be taken wrong. I did not mean to sound like I was talking up my own paint job. I was just trying to express how good the new figures are. I have made historical model figures in almost every scale as well as wargames figures for many games, and these new Dewayne Jennings figures are as good as anything I have ever seen.

I didn't know whether to call these Electric Gridiron figures or Dewayne Jennings figures. What are they officially called?

Also, I made my forum name before I ever even knew of Electric Gridiron, so that was just an odd coincidence. (I just wanted to clarify that.)

As for the acrylic gel, it is a painting medium that is sold in the artist paints section at the hobby store. Heavy gel sometimes comes in a tube, but the regular gel and heavy body medium come in plastic jars. You will end up with much more than you will need, so if you are in a league perhaps several people can pitch in and buy a jar and split it up, then just mix it in a small tupperware type container and it keeps for along time. Use a small round brush and "sculpt" the detail you want. It may shrink slightly, but usually I don't notice unless I have filled a large gap with it. It will dry pretty fast so you can add a coat in about 5 to 10 minutes. When I apply facemasks I used it with a touch of water (never more than about 25%) and it works very well as it will hold, but still allow you to adjust the facemask carefully.

Oh, and Jamel G, I am not even from Ohio, so they don't have a monopoly.

I have checked several online hobby stores and found several irems which match your description of acrylic gel medium. What type and brand do you use? Thanks!

What I have right now is Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium, but Golden is also a very good brand. Really just about any of the artist grade mediums will do fine. Just make sure there is nothing added to the medium for texture. Some of them have beads, glitter, and other chunks of stuff that you don't want.

For those near a HOBBY LOBBY, they have an online coupon for 40% off. If you go to the sales/ promotion link it will take you to the coupon. You can use one per day on any item. They run that coupon a couple of times a month, so if you miss the sale, just keep checking and it will come back around. The sales run from Monday thru Saturday.
