Chelsea away 11/12

I'll be honest, there are not many EPL kits for the new season that I like the look of, except this one

I'm not a big fan of Chelski, but have to say I do like the new away kit.

Escape to Victory 2011

I've had a bit of a break from painting over the past few weeks.  I've been on holiday and I've played in a Subbuteo tournament, finishing as plate winner.

As part of the subbuteo tournament I played in, I also came away with the "golden boot" award for scoring the most goals.  My prize wasn't a golden boot however, it was a blank team to paint up!

The kit I've decided to paint up is very vaguely based on the kit worn by the Allies in the Escape to Victory film, with the main difference being the shorts and socks.

Here's how it turned out

Austria 1990 World Cup

The latest request I've had is for a kit based on Austria from the 1990 World Cup.

Italia 90 was the first World Cup I can remember watching and is definately my favourite.  I can't remember much of the 86 World Cup (except for the Hand of God!) and was only very young in the 82 World Cup so don't have any memories of that.

Roger Miller's corner flag dancing, Nessum Dorma, the John Barnes rap and Gazza's tears; what's not to love about Italia 90! That's not even mentioning the football!

Anyway, here's how the team has turned out

Southport FC

My latest request was to paint a Southport FC team.  For those of you who don't know who Southport are, they are an English football club, based in Southport, Merseyside. They are currently in the Conference National, and play their home matches at Haig Avenue. They are known by their nickname "The Sandgrounders".

This is my interpretation of how the current season's kit looks.

Superhero vs Supervillan

This is something that I have been meaning to paint for quite some time.  I've finally got around to doing it!

Some of the characters I have painted before in previous teams, others are a first for me.  I've always thought it would be good fun to play a game of subbuteo with a "good vs evil" theme.  You could play out a mini league with just these 2 teams and see who comes out on top.  It would be like mini battles in a never ending war!

Here's the teams

Superhero

Supervillan

PSV 1986/87

I've had another request for a team from the 80's!  This time it was a PSV kit from the 1986/87 season.  I've been told that there were 2 home kits for this season.  The one I've painted up is the preferred kit for the person that wanted the team.

The figures are 2k10, the bases are Image 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

The latest request for a team that I've received is based on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare computer game franchise.

I must be one of the only people in the world to not have played this game, so for me to paint it was quite a challenge as I was not at all familiar with the characters.

Hopefully they have all turned out as you would expect
