Well, I have finally finished my second custom. I have to tell you I have learned a LOT!! This one will be for Billy Bajema, he is a TE for the St Louis Rams. I tried to make this one a little personal for Billy. I actually have his game used shoes and added his number on the back heels. I will post pictures once he comes over and picks it up.
Thanks for looking,

Joe

Joe,
Excellent sculpting and painting. You will soon be rich and famous.
Cheers

You sculpted this? Wow this is really awesome stuff. I bet it is pretty cool to see the look on their faces when they see it. Really nice work.

I believe it's a conversion of a McFarlane toys football figure. ~Gary

Thanks guys. Mike, it is a conversion from several different figures along with some sculpting.

It was really cool to have Billy and his family back over to our house. He was very excited to see his figure and then of course ever kid in the culdesac wanted to see and play football with him. He was more than happy to play with them and then sign autographs for them all afterwards.

This is beautiful figure mate, very nicely completed.

Excellent conversion and paintin Joe, you and Billy too must be happy with it!

I think these fiugres have a lot of potential, have a few in the stash for years too for repainting.

Thanks
Denes

Excelent work Joe, he's one lucky guy.

Cheers Ken

Very cool! And he seems like a genuinely nice guy to get out and play with those kids in the yard!

I can tell from the picture he throws like a girl though. LOL! Just kiddin'!!!

Very very cooool stuff Joe !!

I love it !!! I´m a big fan of sports figures !!!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed doing this one and Billy really likes it as well. Today he brought over his friend and Rams LB Chris Chamberlain. Chris was over because he wants me to do one of him and we were discussing all the things he would like and the details that I need to make it custom to him. I will post pictures once I get it going. I also have in the works one of the Rams first pick, Sam Bradford.

Hey Jay,

Thanks and I will let Billy know what you said!!

Markus,

Thanks and do you follow American Football? It is really cool and my kids are getting so spoiled! Billy and his family are like family now coming over for dinner, hanging out and coaching my kids at flag football games!

Thanks again,

Joe
