Tottenham Hotspur 2013/14 Home Kit

I thought I'd give this kit a go as Tottenham are the team I support.

After painting this kit, my wonderful wife said "oh, you've painted a team of sailors!"  Thanks then!

I'm still undecided as to whether I like this kit or not; if Spurs get into the Champions League or win a trophy this year I will love it; if they win sweet fa then it'll be another forgotten kit!

Here's how the "Sailors" turned out on the little plastic men

Aston Villa 1988/89

During a recent subbuteo tournament I played in, one player was playing with a team of unpainted figures.  I just couldn't have that!  After finding out he was a big Aston Villa fan, he asked me to paint up what has to be one of their most complex kit designs.  As I'm always up for a challenge, I couldn't refuse.

Here's how it's turned out

I do love those Hummel kits from the late 1980's!

AS Roma 00/01

 

The last time Roma won the scudetto they wore this kit.  With great players such as Totti, Batistuta and Cafu in their team they managed to clinch the scudetto on the final day of the season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Star Wars Stormtroopers

I love Star Wars. I love Subbuteo.  Combining the 2 together is a match made in heaven!

I made a Star Wars team a couple of years back and have been meaning to paint this up for a long, long time.

I'm hoping Darth Vader in goal can use the dark side of the force to keep the goals out!

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

This will be played every time I score a goal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzntZLHcYy0

Spain 1992

 

Sheffield Utd Away 81-83

Barcelona Away 1984

A classic kit for a class team from the 80's.  Here's how my version has turned out on the little plastic men

Worcester City 2011/12

I've received a request to paint Worcester City's current home kit.  Here's how its turned out

Escape to Victory

Combining football with a war film, that's genius!  There is one film (loosely) based on football that, for me, stands out above the rest; Escape to Victory.  Not only does it have Michael Caine and Sly Stallone, it also has real footballers!  Bobby Moore, Ossie Ardiles, Pele and John Wark (!!!???!!! what???????).  


Here's a trailer to the film if you haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fHy-F_Y530 


"Escape to victory; you've never seen anything like it"

The Euro Project - Part 4

You know when you get to that point when it suddenly becomes a bit of a chore? Well it's got to that point now.  Thank goodness I've only got a few left to do!


Here's the next 4 teams for the Euro 2012 competition.

Poland

Holland

France

England

The Euro 2012 project - part 3

I haven't done much painting throughout the past month; I've been far too busy winning the double in my local subbuteo league (league and cup!)


I realised I'm only about half way through painting up the required teams, so I've had a bit of a mad flick of the paintbrush to try and get a few more teams done before our tournament at the end of May.


Here's how they've turned out

Spain

Denmark

Russia

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.

Wolverhampton

Tottenham

QPR

Cardiff Away

Arsenal Away

Blackpool
