Egridiron custom figures

I wanted to share my custom O-lineman electric gridiron figures. The very subtle customization to the center leads to a more nature 3 point stance IMHO. Basically all I do is position the feet further back on the platform and lean him foreward (so he is not so upright). I grind the pegs on the feet to help set the angle of the feet to the base before gluing to set the position of the body on the platform. Then you need to cut a flat on the right shoulder to reposition the right arm to get it to be in the right position. In the picture you can compare the upright center figure (as-is) with the 3 point down lineman stance that I customized. Very small amount of customization and well worth it I think to get that good 3 pt. stance look. For kicks I made a left guard with the left arm down instead of the right (more cutting involved

). Just having some fun...this is one of my favorite solitaire aspects of the hobby.

Here is a custom RB made from EGridiron's new DL figure (which is awesome by the way) and the arms from the older RB1 figure the DeWayne had molded. I really like the balance of this figure for a TTC RB. Yes...I based him up already before painting, I couldn't wait

For reference, the last two pictures are the awsome DL figure with the right arm from the Egridirion RB/DL figure. Maybe you can see better how the RB figure I made was customized from this D-lineman.

Congrats and great job to DeWayne Jennings for getting this great line of figures made!
