Here's some more old-school customs I finished recently. Another Lance Alworth - this time in a new pose. I also completed my second Packer-great Don Hutson.
It's been quite some time from my last post but not because I haven't been busy! Here's a recent batch of high school customs I've finished for kids around the country.
I recently got to work with a great guy from Washington D.C. Jerome Kennedy had this great yearbook photo of him playing for Wilson High. Jerome wanted me to create a figure to match the photo and bring it to life. It was nice to be working on a custom pose again.
This was a fun project that a group of seniors brought to me. The senior football players from the Elco Raiders high school wanted to give their coaches a unique gift this year. They originally just wanted regular football figures in the team uniforms but weren't sure what to do for the head coach. I decided it would be fun to actually try to create a figure that looks just like their coach on the sideline.
For the head coach, I scratch-built the headset & monitor and even made a miniaturized playsheet. The assistants all got figures that represent the positions they coach.
This completed the large order placed by former San Diego Charger, Jimmy Allison. Jimmy was looking for several legend figures to comliment his autographed helmet collection.
