New Football figure.Chris Massey #45 Chicago Bears

[Joe Hudson]

After not doing anything for a very long time :idonno I have finally finished up another football custom of Chris Massey. He was the long snapper for the Rams but released due to his large salary this year but the Chicago Bears picked him up. His wife asked me about 2 weeks ago if I could do one for him in his Bears outfit for a Christmas gift. So before I could think I said sure and then realized I have not done or completed anything for a very long time! Well I am glad to say I did finish up something and here it is. All comments welcomed.

I am NOT into football or any other sports with overpaid athletes but I am DEFINITELY into the high level of art you bring with your custom builds!

WOW!

never seen a kit of these- is this a redone McFarlane toy? They make tons of the single sports figures now. Great job no matter what it started out as.

 

[Joe Hudson]

Thank you all for the kind words . I am glad to finally get something completed and hoping to continue doing so on a few other things soon!

Yes, it is a converted/modified McFarlane. I have done several for different NFL players and have several more guys asking for one.

Great idea- I modified a couple of action figures myself, but none turned out too good! Killer.

Very nice work Joe. Really like the skin tones you do. How do you make the name? It looks perfect.

As always Joe, really appreciate you sharing with us. Another fine figure!

Thank you all for the kind words. It has been some time and so glad to get something finally done! :dance The name plate and numbers are decals that I print out and then repaint over, highlighting and shadowing. The arm tattoo's were done by a friend of mine. He drew them out in full scale and I then reduced them down to the correct size. I then had them printed out on laser decal paper. Hope this helps.

Chris actually just left the house and was really happy with it. He wants me to do several others in different uniforms. He was very kind to my sons and gave them each a pair of game used cleats and signed tons of pictures for their friends, coaches and teachers.



Here are some pictures of Chris's visit.

It is nice to see your talent is bringing forth more 'action.'
