Default What you put into it is what you will...

get out of it, I truly believe.

I am in the process of painting the New York Jets in white, the Tennessee Vols for the CBSMF, and the Dallas Cowboys for the DFW. While everyone is not a "master customizer" or painter, you still can tell by the detail of what the person does whether he takes great pride in his team.

For the most part, when he does take great pride in the team, the work is usually top rated. Each of these teams will look very nice and my hope is that the will play that way too.

But I get great joy from painting my beloved VOLS. This team will be "tricked out" to the 9th degree when I am finished with them. Reason being is "these are my guys". This is the one team in history that I bled for. Some of these players I went to school with and played against. Rocky Top is a part of who I am and now I get to be "The Coach" and make the decisions that Phil Fulmer can't seem to make to take his team to the national title game.

And along the way, I want to make sure each player is immaculate. I want to know these guys intimately and I am loving just creating each and every poses. It's been a real treat knowing someday, this team will compete against some of the best coaches in the country.

We will put in the work. And hopefully, the results will speak for themself.

Default amen reggie....

I still remember that night in your hotel room, while our wives chatted and you hooking me like a crack fiend on making custom fgures. but the thing that has always stood out and i will never forget from that night was when you told me this....


" i dont care what figure you use or what pose your doing or what player your trying to re-create.. if you dont take your time and do it with care and add all the little details most would overlook then it will be just a ordinary player, but when you add the time and love into it...they become alive" (R.R)

I have never forgot that reggie, and i still add all the little details to all my players when i finnish them up for play. that to me makes all the difference between playing with a team...and bonding with that team.

Default very true

Very true, Bluesman.....

For the teams that have been able to reach the top of the league/tounament they were in - a labor of love went into each of those teams and some of the added extras added to some of the players made it more enjoyable to use that team.
