    Just took a look at my Lions. I have light and dark jersey teams with the gray pants an helmets.

    I haven't had problems with damaging decals with a toothpick. Of course being patient and careful is the key. As for toothpick vs. brush, I know most people use brushes but I use a toothpick for everything. I've tried many brushes and none if them really worked for me so I don't use them at all. I find its easier to apply paint, decals, and sealer with a toothpick. They're cheap, easy to use, and require no cleaning.

    No, they're not magnetic.

    It's my favorite of the 3 combos.

    Another option is to put the receiver on a piece of felt so he doesn't move. Then allow the defense to pivot unengaged defenders towards the receiver and turn on the board for a set amount of time to represent the ball in flight. If the defenders get to the immobilized player then they break up the pass. if not, it's a complete pass,remove the felt, pivot the receiver, and turn on the board to complete the play.

    I've toyed with different approaches like more than 3 sticks in different lengths, bigger or smaller targets, or taking into account the (perceived) skill of the QB. The problem I have with sticks is that they don't allow for a bullet pass - meaning the receiver is open right now.

    Put magnets on the bottom so they stay in place. Nothing worse than having it fall over and knock all the players around.

    Great idea!

    I took Tudor London Union Jacks and made a 44 man team. I added number decals and sealed the players so it was a pretty quick project. I also created an alternate third jersey in blue.

    I built the TOC board in front using Jerry McGhee's design but find it to be too big and bulky.

    Martha Stewart High Gloss Finish. I used to use shellac spray on but this is so much better. I coat the whole figure. I dries fairly quickly, protect the decals, looks great, and feels great.

    I'm not sure what kind of decals you're using, but when they curl up, drop them back in the water and they'll usually straighten out. Then I pick them up with the broad side of my xacto blade and slide them onto the figure with a toothpick. I too have a hard time seeing the white numbers and names on the blue cardstock. I suggest wearing a headlamp in addition to reading glasses. It makes a big difference.

    I'm having one of those "I'm not worthy" moments from Wayne's World. More incredible work!

    Incredible Work! Looks like your All-Time Chiefs team. I can't see all of the names. Who's on the roster?

    Here's my Kentucky Wildcats team. It's a 12 man team in 3 different uniforms.

    Yes, I thought we were talking about the player platforms. I paint those. I don't paint the bases. I have plenty of Tudor bases in every color.

    Wow!

    Decide what you want, research the team, buy a decal set and create them. That's really the only way to get exactly what you want.

    I'm working on a 1963 Chicago Bears NFL Champions team right now. I completed the dark jerseys a few months ago and plugging along on the white jerseys now.

    Thank you for the kind words. I usually complete the players in batches and by figure type. For example, I may do all of the C, G, DT at the same time and then move on to the next batch. To do an 11 man team would take a few hours. To do a 46-48 man team takes me several weeks because like everyone else out there, life always gets in the way.

    It would be nice if we could buy individual figures or bags of figures in the same pose. Right now, the only way to get what you want is to buy more packages of figures. I have tons of extra guard figures left over from custom projects over the years. Fortunately the unpainted figures aren't all that expensive.
