Custom High School Football Figures

Both of these were customer requests for Christmas. The first one is the customer from his playing days and the second is of his brother. While both appear to be simple repaints - a lot of extras were added making these two customs some of the most labor intensive I've worked on.

I always stress a good custom is about nailing all the fine details. All the equipment added was exactly like the customer wore. The knee brace was completely constructed out of plastic and then the pants and sock were sculpted over it. The elbow pads and gloves are also custom sculpted.

The Douglas butterfly constrictor was constructed by me from plastic. The shoes were resculpted to match the Vick Nikes he wore. The gloves were also resculpted to match the Cutters he wore. All the pride stickers were created in Adobe Illustrator and individually cut out and applied to perfectly match the reference photos - all 44 pride stickers are there.

Custom Joe Flacco McFarlane Figure

This was a customer request that I recently finished up. This was my first Raven's figure I've done and I'm very pleased with the results.

Custom William Henderson McFarlane Figure

William Henderson has always been one of my favorite Packers. He cleared paths for backs like Edgar Bennett, Dorsey Levens & Ahman Green. Henderson was a bruiser who ran and caught the ball well but was also pretty nimble - hurdling defenders became a Hendu staple. One of the great things about William was his locker room presence and team attitude.

I made two versions of Henderson - a dirty and dirtier version. The cleaner one went to a huge Packer fan in Canada. The dirty verison remains in my collection.

Cambridge High School Banquet 2008

On Sunday October 26th I had the privilege of presenting the 2008 seniors with their custom football figures. It was so great to meet the athletes and parents and put faces with the figures I've spent so much time on. Best of luck to Cambridge as they enter the playoffs on Tuesday.
