Excellent advice. Especially the comment about obsessing over the minute imperfections. Painting figures for me is just a way to calm down and relax. I especially love researching the history of teams and recreating them in older uniforms that aren't worn anymore or teams that no longer exist. When I paint teams it is generally from the 50's and early 60's before Tudor began producing NFL and AFL teams and teams from the defunt leagues like the old AAFC, WFL and USFL. All hand painted, stripes and logos.

Next up, the original 1960 American Football League lineup of teams. Painted these using 67 Big Man figures and Clear coated to give then an "antique" look.

Painting electric football figures and teams is what I enjoy most about the game and hobby. I typically use Tudor "Fab 5" Haiti Repro and 67 Big Man Figures, but i will occasionally use other types of figures (Buzzball, Coleco, Munro, etc...) Here are a couple of my latest painting projects. First is the 1960 - 62 Denver Broncos. Second is the 1961-62 New York Titans. Both teams painted using Acrylic Craft Paints and clear coated for a "Glossy" look and using Tudor Haiti Repro Figures (HT-W-11).

The goal post used in tournament play (TOC) are usually solid foam board 4" wide by 24" tall. Only set up and used when attempting a field goal which doesn't happen that often. XPs by field goal are automatic. Due to the nature of tournament play not practical to have a permanent goal post attached to the field.

When are you going to get the Titans in their new uniform with the Blue Helmet? This is their 3rd season in this uniform.

Thank you for response that is helpful even without pics! Basically confirms what I was thinking. For visual appeal across individual player it’s probably best to go “all in” on a brand
Honestly these are going to be used predominately for my EFHL solo league and the occasional 1v1 vs friends I can convince that this is not their “dad’s” version of electric football.
had no idea the painting side of it would be so fun. I’m not great but over time I’ll improve
Painting and playing solitaire is what I enjoy most about the hobby. I have numerous custom painted teams and have painted and sold numerous teams using Tudor figures. I did commissioned custom painting for a while but the level of detail that was being demanded got to be more than I wanted to do (took the "fun" out of it). If you haven't checked it out, visit my website (nefgm.org) for my collection of teams, figures and gameboards.

Took some pics. Beginning from left first 4 are all Tudor Figures. Next is Buzzball, Beenutt PAC 12, Various 3D figures. Second pic is some custom sculpted and painted figures. 3rd pic: something to be aware of with 3D printed figures, they can explode!!

Sorry I don't have a side by side photo comparison. But obviously as more detail has become in demand with 3D printed figures, the figures have grown in size. If you follow any of the TOC leagues and tournaments you will notice just about no one uses Tudor figures or bases. I still use exclusively Tudor 67 Big Men on my teams in these competitions but I am one of the last holdouts. Competitive Electric Football has grown to a whole new level just in the last decade. Highly detailed figures, custom gameboards, faster gameboard speeds, specialized bases and more "scientific" methods of tweaking for better base performance. Be prepared to spend major $$$ if you choose to go to this level.
Tudor figures and bases still have their place in the game as a more affordable entry level form and as collectibles.

I always use the numbers 0 and 00 when creating historical NFL /AFL rosters. Colleges obviously had to go to using those numbers because of the number of players allowed on a team's roster. The NFL stopped using those numbers in 1984. I also have a custom Titans jersey with the number "0".
