Miniature football pro football 2009 offensive center
Hi, This is my first attempt in miniature football painting and customizing. I used a plastic figure dedicated to Miniature Football game, and heavily customized it. The figure is 100% handpainted with vallejo colors. No decals (except the front and back jersey numbers, where I used "peel and stick" modified stickers to integrate it in the mini's painting). The scale is the classic 28-30mm scale. That figure is dedicated to Miniature Football tabletop game. For people who doesn't know miniature football, is like Blood bowl...but in REAL ! ^^ it's a coaching tabletop game, quite similar in a certain way to figures wargaming, but using the real US football rules and a electric vibrating board, instead of dices and rulers. Some of the american miniature enthusiasts certainly know the classic football tabletop game that inspired the modern hobby/sport named Miniature football ...Believe me, it changed, and now it's played at high level...the figures are not just spinning in circles anymore ;) The player (called "coach") prepare his figures and bases to make them fast, strenght, running straight or curve, etc... and create strategies for the game. Then, the real Physics (and a little luck!) make the athletes literaly run and brawl on the board (real fields and stadiums are created too). If you're interested in this game or/and this very "exotic" (finally, more exotic than the usual fantasy ^^ ) miniature modelling domain, try to google or youtube "miniature football" or "electric football" ;) On my side, the complete team will be full customized and hand painted soon, I'll post the results here.
