Had chance to paint up 2 more teams today.  Here's how they turned out

The Euro's Project - Part 1

To celebrate Euro 2012, I'm going to be holding a subbuteo tournament at my local club.  Rather than painting up the current kits for the 16 nations, I've decided to paint the shirts as the national flags and do the rest of the kits in traditional colours.

Here's the first 4 teams.

Italy

Portugal

Germany

Ireland

AFC Wimbledon 2002/04 Home Kit

The second team I was commissioned to paint was the 2002/04 home kit for AFC Wimbledon.  Since the clubs formation in 2002, they have been promoted 5 times in 9 seasons. That's a pretty good record!

The kit below represents the kit worn in their first 2 seasons.

Concrete Cows

Dave contacted me with a fantastic idea for a fantasy team kit that he asked me to paint up.  When I heard what the kit was going to look like I jumped at the chance!

The idea for the team is based on the infamous concrete cow sculptures in Milton Keynes by Liz Leyh; read about them here http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/mkm/concows.html 

Here's how the team turned out

Real Madrid 2011/12

If you don't know who this team are, how can you call yourself a football fan?

There's not much I want to say about this team, just enjoy the painting :D

LA Galaxy 2011 MLS Cup winners

I appreciate I'm a bit behind the times in painting this up, but better late than never!

I really like this kit; the yellow, white and blue combination works really well. Hopefully the painting has done it justice. Getting the club badge and the stars and stripes patch to resemble the actual badges was quite tricky on such a small scale, not all detail could fit on.  It looks ok though and gives a good enough impression of the team badges.

It's a game of two halves.....or is that quarters?

I know I've been a bit slack recently not updating my blog.  If I'm honest I've not had much time to paint teams over the festive period as I've had far better things to do.........such as eating lots and being merry!

Saying that, I did get one or two opportunities to paint a few teams up.

First up I've repainted an old ref 7 West Ham that had seen better days for my solo league. 

Here's the new home kit for WestBurn Villa

It was my first attempt at painting quarters which are easier to do than what I had initially thought. 

Next up I've been commissioned to paint up a team in the colours of a well known banking firm and a team GB kit.

The well known banking firm's kit is as follows:

For the Team GB kit, I went with the National Anthem tracksuit jacket rather than the football shirt for no other reason than the football shirt looks awful

I've got no idea if the shorts / socks are correct, but it works as is.
