Default The Colts Completed

Here are some pictures of my Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts All-Colts Team. I was a huge Colts fan over the years and could not part from bringing the old with the new. The makeup of this team will be different in that these were the best players in the the Colts illustrious history so all the bases will probably be better than say, the 1988 Eagles or the 1975 Steelers.

These were the best of the best. I did not want it to be this way but after I started creating this team, it was very difficult to go with one particular year.

Most of these are custom poses. It takes me about 1-2 minutes to create a custom pose and it took less than 1.5 days to create this team. It's roughly 29-30 man hours to put all decals and trick the team up (when working hard and nothing else is bothering me).

You try to teach people how to do this but few respond. You try to save them lots of money because you know everyone is strapped but few respond. One day, when the product becomes not available anymore, then the interest will seem to pick up.

That's just how it seem to be.

This is one of the prettiest teams I have. I found a better white that keeps the players as white as possible. I love the traditional Colts uniform and I love the historical players who made my child hood special.

I added a few of the new era Colts such as Marvin Harrison, Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders, and Reggie Wayne. I did not add Peyton Manning, just not a fan of his although he went to Tennessee. The Peyton I know could not beat Florida and lied about an incident with a lady reporter back when he went there.

I love Unitas and Bert Jones.

Very nice Reg.Love the way you took the "looking down on top of" shot of the lineman with Unitas. Now if they play as good as they look....

I like the snap and throwing quarterback ideas I'll try them on the next offense squads I'll do.

Absolutely Gorgeous.
This was my favorite team growing up. I wore my Johnny U. jersey at least twice a week until it was unrecognizable.
It and my Super Bowl III tudor game were my 2 most treasured items I got for Christmas.

Thumbs up I really like this team!

It just took way too long to make!

Reg, is number 81 Roger Carr? I can make everyone else out.

Outstanding.

I will be contacting you shortly. My sons want to play now so I will be opening the game up to the four of them.

Finally coming around! Whew!
