D(o) I(t) Y(ourself)

Good afternoon Coaches

My question for this topic is pretty simple, LOL. Basically, when you have someone paint your team(s), you spend more $'s. And when you DIY, you not only save $'s, but you can get the enjoyment of having done something with your own hands. However, that's a bit easier said (and typed) than done....

Basically, I'm seeing two options for the DIY and both are from Tudor:

(1) Uniform teams https://tudorgames.com/nfl/uni-forms-nfl-action-figures.html

(2) Painted teams https://tudorgames.com/customs/customize-figures/current-nfl-sets.html

Which of these, if either, is something beginners that lack experience and tools can do? These processes may not be for everyone, so can beginners accomplish this without too much frustration, or would you recommend paying someone at first? And/or is there another option?

Thanks,

Brian

Pay for the custom teams. Trust me. Beenutt has some super talented painters doing the custom painted teams. Worth every single penny that you’ll pay.

I do have to agree with Jay. I never have cared for the Uni-forms. They are OK but take a great deal of patience and don't look that great IMO. I have done a couple of teams of them. But just not that satisfied with the result. I prefer to paint my own teams and have used Tudor's decals. Tudor's decals are not the greatest quality either. I mostly paint reproduction and replica "Tudor Classic" teams using 67 Big Men and Haiti Repro figures, but I don't use decals. They are all hand painted. You can find many of them posted in the Showcase - Photo Gallery section of this forum. I have also done a lot of logo-less teams just the uniforms. Here's are some examples of those.  Can you recognize the teams they are supposed to represent without the lgogs? Hint late 60's NFL and AFL teams.

The funny thing is, I almost didn't get the first one because I was thinking: USC Trojans....

Can you imagine if the Skins' were the only team I didn't get? 🤣🤫

Yes, that would have been funny. Understandable though and could definitely be used for either one.
