'75 Vikings Updating Page

[Reginald Rutledge]

Taylor,

Maybe that's a reason we hit it off so well. I love the Vikes and a 12 year older like yourself is a huge fan.

My all-time favorite Vike is a guy who use to live just right around the corner from me growing up named Oscar Reed.

They called him "Butch" in the old neighborhood. When I grew up, he had shattered many Memphis high school rushing records and went on to Colorado State where he was an All-American.

He went to the Vikes, played in 3 Super Bowls and started as the fullback with Chuck Foreman.

He was a main cog in the Vikes running attack right after Dave Osborn and Bill Brown era. He's often overlooked because he did the heavy lifting for Chuck Foreman but think about adding old number 32 on that team of great Vikes.

I will be sure to add him.

All of my white and purple jerseys are finished (I am assembly line painting.) My next decision is to either...

...Paint all purple helmets next
...Paint all purple socks next
...Paint both purple helmets and socks next
...Finish the figure til its ready to decal

Which would be most effective??

personally I like to get all the painting done before I decal, but I end up never doing that because I want to finish the players. I am painting the helmet, skin, jersey, pants, socks and shoes b4 I decal, then I paint the gloves.

28 players' purple socks and helmets painted.

cool cant wait until they are finished. by the way before i play a game with a new team i test the bases out first

I believe it was 12 purple helmets and socks painted today, and a few more painted earlier this week.

No, it is a team of 53, but I am doing them in both jerseys so it is a team of 106.
