The Building of Lombardi's Packers:The 1967 Version
Just got up at 12:30 this morning after Jim Jackson takes it upon himself to wake me up! I try to call Jim minutes later and of course, he's not answering so what does that mean? He's sleep and because I am an insomniac, I can't go back to sleep!
So what's a guy to do? CUSTOMIZE!!! I know one of the remaining teams left to do is the Packers of Lombardi. I start off with regular poses and decide, I want to make them look a little more powerful. So what's the thinking. Take the most dominate player I have and alter him from his stock pose. Reggie White, or the Minister of Defense pose! I turn 4 of those into 3-pt linemen. This is a new 3-pt lineman for myself as I never experimented with him. Now, I can take that pose easily within seconds along with an LT extended arm and turn him into one of the most intimidating down linemen that I do. So now, I've got the traditional line. But I know this team of Packers ran the power sweep. So I create two smooth looking backs from standard poses and turn them into Taylor and Hornung. The QB, Bart Starr, must then be looked to handing the ball off. So I take the sprinter pose and an LT extension arm. Cut the helmet off to look the ball in towards the runner and this is what I got! The 1967 Green Bay Packers power sweep. The defense will have about 3-4 custom players but no need for re0inventing the wheel when the stock poses will suffice.

Finished all the custom poses, painting, grass, etc
Here's the progression of the 66-67 Packers. They are now starting to come to life with some of the most dynamic poses to date. The Jim Taylor pose is great and I love the Nitschke pose. I even like the Willie Davis and Lionel Aldridge pose. Bart Starr is handing off and its giving me chills!

Maybe it's the historic approach you are taking!
But I can really see where customizing can be fun. Nice job!

It's Great Going Back In Time
to the 66-67 Packers. This team went like 12-2-0 that season and Lombardi was in his prime. I am about 80% finished with these 22 players. Much touch up work has to be done and the famous "G" has to be placed on the helmet.
However, I just wanted to show Kramer and Thurston pulling on this play, leading Taylor on a power sweep. This was their "bread and butter". Taylor averaged about 3.7 yds/attempt which means, out Pack will be doing a lot of power sweeps!

The Packer Sweep
That Packer sweep looks tight. The best part of it is the pulling guard.
