England Rugby
As much as I love football, I'm a massive rugby fan. With this year being a World Cup year and England performing well so far in this years 6 nations, I thought it would be good to paint up an England Rugby (well 11 man soccer rather than 15 man union) team.

More HW teams
It was hard going, but I've managed to get the remaining 6 HW teams painted up in 2 days for the guys at Worcester River Plate 7.
I've really enjoyed painting the old kits from the 1970's and using the Santiago figures has made a nice change to the more modern 2K4 and 2K10 figures I have been painting. The QPR was my first attempt at doing hoops on a kit; it was trickier than I thought it would be but I think its turned out ok.
If you like the style of my HW painting and would like a team painted up in your favourite club colours, please get in touch via email at worcrp7@gmail.com

1970's HW teams
Ah the classic HW. Much loved and probably the best figure to play the oldsubbuteo game to.
The Worcester River Plate 7 TFC (check out their website at http://www.wrp7.com/) will be playing a retro league after their current season has finished. They have asked for each player to have their own HW team from the 1978/79 season. I haven't painted up retro HW teams before, but thought it would be nice to give it a go. After a bit of research, the kits can easily be found on various websites. On my search through the local charity shops I came across 2 old football annuals from the 1979 season; Roy of the Rovers and Scorcher. The Scorcher annual provides excellent drawings of what each teams kit looks like for that season. I let the WRP7 players pick which team they wanted and now have a list of teams to produce.
Below are the teams that I've managed to paint up so far.
There's more to follow so keep looking over the next couple of weeks for more HW teams. If you like the style of my HW painting and would like a team, please contact me via email at worcrp7@gmail.com
