Niners offense : custom, sculpt, paint

[the french guy]

thank you !

Question, what does the team look like that the 49ers play against??

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here ? :o




This afternoon, I'll finish the figures for painting. This morning (I'm on week end!) I fixed little defects (knees, etc...) and I made TE Vernon Davis hair.

THis figure is my favorite, I think I catched the power of the best Niners player (IMHO) this year with that figure

I discovered that pic on google :



I 'm more than happy with the TE fig I did ! I can't wait to paint it, even if I will not do the complex tatoos


the only issue is that my own TE keeps his ball in his left arm, but...nobody will notice it here in France

[Lindyhopper49]

you will notice that players will sometimes change the ball to the hand that is away from an oncoming defender. I am sure there are lots of pics of vernon with the ball in the other hand

[the french guy]

I didn't notice that. On the pics I saw he had the ball under the same arm...but I don't really care, after all


Tonight I finished the custom job. Chinstraps, and some extra details.

Especially for my half back, I made a eyes shield, I was inspired by that pic :




See attached pics for the result...Dark vador is playing football i

My two favorite figures are definitly my TE and HB...powerfull, agressive and dynamic


tomorrow, I'll make the undercoat, and start the painting in a few days.

Hi,

Tonight I undercoated the figs...Tommorow I'll fix the little defects the undercoat revealed (undercoating is usefull for that), then....paint !

I'm happy with the result of my faces "mass sculpting". They look like warriors


I like the undercoating stage. It really reveals the figure sculpting and customizing, because the matte grey undercoat catch the light. You directly see if the figure "works" or not. And when you're experimented, you already can see the final result in imagination (I do that for my pro scenery work : I can see a bit of styrofoam and see a castle in it )

The men look great! What do you use for the face and what is the green (Putty stuff) you use called.

Great job on Davis and Gore. Vernon is having a pro bowl year for sure!

Vernon is having a pro bowl year for sure!

too bad the Niners doesn't have 10 other Davis on their team this season

Thank you for the comments !

The men look great! What do you use for the face and what is the green (Putty stuff) you use called.

for the putty, I used "green stuff" paste. Easy to find on Ebay, for example. I buy mine in 36" rolls for about 20USD shipped. I buy big quantities because I work professionnaly with that every day (and everynight, on hobby time...I do quite the same thing, but it's funnier I don't know why )

for the faces, This time (except for the QB) I simply roughly sculpt them directly in the plastic, with xacto knife and sand paper. The result is good, easy and fast, even it's not as good as really sculpted faces.

[the french guy]

Not for now...Too much work and business problems these days....I hope to have more time and be in better state of mind next week
