WW II era footballer
« on: September 12, 2012, 11:03:25 PM »
Thought you might like to see a miniature that Paul Hicks has sculpted for me of a WW 2 era footballer. He could be painted as a player from a POW team  ;)
Hopefully I can get some cast, is there a list of mould making casting companies anywhere?

Griffin Moulds or The Mouldmaker are the two most used in the UK.  Plenty of other choices in the US if thats where you are.

Nice figure by the way, the hair has a touch of Pele about it. Escape to victory anyone?

Nice.  :-* Any plans for some more, maybe a whole team?

I use Griffin Moulds and thoroughly recommend them.

Hopefully some more maybe a couple of possible POW team members a goalie and a captain. And eventually a at least six different poses if all goes well. Thanks for advice

Lovely sculpt!
 :-*

A few different poses and you would be laughing.
Just do a few head swaps and you could have a whole team!

Fantastic sculpt - and looking much forward seeing more.

I can also recommend using Steward Griffin - extremely high quality and awesome service. But Mouldmaker-Pete is certainly good too.

Looks like Pele to me. Escape to Victory gives the basis for a team  ;)

Portuguese for 'wow!'

Not a bad likeness. I'd buy one. Now I just need the rest of the 1970 seleção.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
