ACME Packers - Old Time Team
As many of you saw (and heard), I have a Bruce Watts Lambeau Field (below). I'm a huge Packers fan and wanted kind of a signature field that had the same look and feel as Lambeau but was easily portable, etc.
I've always had the idea to do an ACME Packers all-time team to pay tribute to the uniforms and squad that joined the league in the early 1920's. They were blue & gold as Lambeau was a Notre Dame alum (same guy who built Notre Dame stadium built the original Lambeau too). Originally, I contacted Chris Fields to design a leather helmet and thought I'd do it myself. However, once I saw the Sid Luckman that he entered in the contest, I knew that anything I did wouldn't touch the authenticity that he puts into his work. I should receive the squad this week but Chris was kind enough to send me pics of the defense... They'll definitely be at the Canton event... This is a picture of the defense...offense pics coming soon. I can't wait! Unbelievable job!

How Do You Do It
What I find to be intriguing about the figures is how the worn and dirty look of the uniforms vary among each player on the team.

ACME
Very funny Guttmann. You're an awesome painter and your "Wide Right" display is a thing of beauty.
It was only when I saw Chris' Sid Luckman and read the articles he had on the drybrush technique, I knew that this was the exact feel that I wanted for that team. Besides, you still paint?? I thought you were now exclusively into handing Raiderman and Pratt their lunch and bringing home tournament hardware
