Got some of the figures I ordered in and was a little disappointed to see that the Pro Line figures are NOT really the same size as the standard electric football figures. They are much smaller and now this threatens to make my 1970 Baltimore Colts look really dumb. Ah well live and learn. To get some practice in I am hand painting the QB figure.
I added the facemask. Those I ordered from the Tudor site.
I picked up some map magnets from Amazon at this link:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014LBVZI4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am using those to represent endzone pylons on my board and since they are relatively cheap I have enough to use for marking ball positions with the passing sticks and other things like player spots etc.
I think they look pretty good. I was going to make them orange but I may just leave them red for now and spray paint some black etc.
The normal straight bases seem to work a lot better when tweaked, but as you know you need different bases for some position players. Again I am not going to be playing pro or anything but still I want decent performance in games.
The process to gather supplies and figures for electric football is underway. The first team I am modeling will be the 1970 Baltimore Colts.
I have a new board coming as well as some home uniform colts and special pose figures for Unitas and others.
I grabbed some team roster names and helmet decals from https://www.beenutt.com but a lot of my stuff has not arrived yet. I will be using standard figures but adding special pose figures for running backs and QB etc. Those will have to be hand painted so hopefully I can match the colors.
