HardcoreLegend Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I wonder if you can take a stab at David Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 McFarlane does a lot of the stars. That is where we come in. I saw your post Hardcore ont he Spawn Board. Very nice repaint. I have a hard time creating players for teams I don't cheer for, as maybe you do too. It' a great hobby eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 My 'hard time' is with the decals. Printing them out and bonding them, etc is always a pain. Especially since the decal slides are so 'precious' that wasting even an inch pains me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 My 'hard time' is with the decals. Printing them out and bonding them, etc is always a pain. Especially since the decal slides are so 'precious' that wasting even an inch pains me. The cost of the paper is what kills me. I stand by Testors paper. It's smaller and it hold colors well. I print everything at 600 dpi and it makes them extrememly clear. I then bake it under a light for 10-20 minutes and then began applying decal film, again Testors brand. On the Hamilton I did begin using another company that you brush on. I coat them four or five times and it makes it really rigid. The bonding has never been a problem for me. I always make sure to stay calm and never panic. I'd love to see more of your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Those look great. The Eckstein is real unique using a pitcher on a fielders plate. I like that. The packaging on that Jones is great. For some reason looking at Andruw the Choking Hazard sticker jumped out at me. Hmmm I wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Pudge actually beat me to it... are you willing to do work for hire? Because if so - depending on the price you ask - I actually have between 1 and 3 requests for you. I have a lot of baseball stuff hither and yon in my house - but I am always looking to add to my Cardinals shrine... and I know just extactly what 1-3 figures could really spice my displays up. EDIT: of the 3 I, personally, am interested in - 1 in particular would probably make Jessie really happy... but hey - my sick habits have to resurface from time to time, right?

HardcoreLegend Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 That would make a good Scott Rolen. I'm WAAY ahead of you on that one. Again, just need the decals printed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesphan18 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Maybe an Aaron Rowand one crashing into the wall, making the catch, and breaking his nose is possible if those last two have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLegend Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I've thought about taking a Garret Anderson head, putting it on the Pods body and doing a Kenny Lofton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
