Back to Bama...here's the spring training version I did for my bro-in-law Tim. Matt, he looks like he has your calves. :-) Posted by Hello

Tell us how you make them. I never knew you had an "artistic" side, even if it is a sports-fanatic version of "artistic".

The process is pretty simple, but a bit time consuming. I buy sports figures (McFarlane's Sports Picks) that you can find at Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, GameStop, etc. and simply repaint them. The figures are all professional athletes, and I change them into whoever I want them to be, or whoever the customer would like. The logos, numbers, names are all done by decals that I'll do on my computer, print out and apply.

I have done a number of high school players, college players, and one pro. It's alot of fun for me, and has become a great little side business. Hopefully, one day I can develop a website to take orders and display the fruits of my labor...

Oh yeah... the one you are seeing in this post was a combination of football and basketball. The upper half was Tom Brady (QB of the NE Patriots) and the lower half was Dirk Nowitski (Dallas Mavericks)...
