Miniature football pro football 2009 offensive linemen
Hi, Here 's a closer look on my offensive linemen combo. All figs are heavily customized, based on plastic figures. Muscles, real faces, positions, etc...are sculpted in green stuff. The gameboard is also hand made (and the goal posts too, made in real metal). The figures are 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 minis' painting). The scale is the classic 28-30mm scale. These figures are 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" ;) That offensive squad, dedicated to tabletop gaming, is presented on a gameboard I designed and made myself. On the picture, you can see some samples of WIP process and individuals. thanks !
