    I was the one who updated the roster on this page. It's pretty accurate.

    Just use decals.

    1. Listen to what other people have to say and then make your own decisions. 2. Be consistent. 3. Have fun. It's a game, if it's not fun then it's work.

    Yes, I've done the 2006, 1985, and 1963 Chicago Bears

    No problem. It takes me a while because I only work on the teams during spare moments. I typically do them in batches...one pose at a time.

    I love those old school figures!

    So here are some 1985 Bears that I just finished to round out a friend of mine's 1985 Bears Team.

    These are particularly beautiful renditions. I really like your style...very clean and simple using the Fab Five figures. Very similar to my approach. It looks to me like most of your teams are all-time players for their particular teams? How many players per team?

    Nice work on the figures. They look great!
  13. mccaber
    Well done!

    I used Apple Barrel Navy Blue and New England Patriots number decals for these:

    Good advice with the Easy Off. However, I just paint over the entire figure and save the pain of working with the harsh chemicals.
  16. mccaber
    Well Done!

    Anywhere where there's friction between the kicking leg and the stationary leg will adversely affect its kicking ability. You can still use it to throw a pass though.

    I agree with what has been said about taking care to not get paint and sealer in the leg socket. However, once you start painting a TTQB, it's probably not going to perform as well as a kicker. You can still pass OK, but if kicking is important, keep an unpainted TTQB around. Here are some TTQBs that I've painted and decaled over the years. They look good and match their teams, but they really don't kick very well.
  19. mccaber
    This is irrelevant.
  20. mccaber
    The painting process is the same. I paint the figure and the leg separately and reattach it it once the sealer is dry. The decals are more of more of a challenge, especially because there isn't a pants stripe specifically for the TTQB.

    How about the "Blarney Stones"

    Very Nice!

    I picked up a bunch of teams as a garage sale and played several season, kept stats, and dreamed about having every NFL team. Then one day, many years later, I reopened that old box filled with teams and decided that now I could actually have more and so I've been buying them and making them ever since...

    I like your suggestions. I would prefer they stay away from trendy designs that are ultimately forgettable. Think of the classics...Bears, Steelers, Raiders to name a few.
