HEY!!!
Any POTA fans around here from the UK? I could use a little help if there are.
Thanks!!

I understand. I only follow hockey. Like you, I've never watched a full baseball game. I'd love to make the loincloth, not sure if I could duplicate yours. Yours is a true master piece. I love all the primitive clothing you made!

Go Sabres!

Hey Mark! Check out this site for a Statue of Liberty. https://www.nycwebstore.com/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=CA-9FSO_Liberty

*sticks up hand* Me, me!! What'cha need then?

*sticks up hand* Me, me!! What'cha need then?

Ahh, thanks. I have been searching and searching for
Michael Ballack

and

Benjamin Lauth

from the Revell Kick-o-mania soccer series.

I really only need their heads and can't justify $35 a piece plus shipping to get them. They seem to only be sold in the UK, Germany and Austria that I can tell so far.

 

[sueworld]

Hmmmm, I'm a complete novice at Soccer, and I have to say I've not seen these figures before now. Do you know how much they retail for in the UK and where who stocks them. Have you seen them on eBay UK?


What do you want me to do If I do find them?

 

[Ironman1188]

I'm no soccer fan myself. The heads are needed for some kitbashing. They're going for between 16 and 19 pounds each that I've seen. A place called Footieshop had them. I don't know if they're sold elsewhere anymore, but I had heard stories of them showing up in Wal-mart type retailers when they first came out.
Basically I'm looking for them if they can be found real cheap, or maybe at flea-markets or Costco type liquidators where they should be less expensive.

 

[sueworld]

I'll give it a go, but I have to say I've never seen any of these figs anyway I'm afraid. I can do a search online for retailers in the UK, but I wouldn't hold your breath as unlike in the States when stock sells out it's very unlikely to resurface again, sadly.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

 

[Ironman1188]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I think someone is trying to turn a soccer player into an astronaut.

Those two are almost dead ringers of Burke and Virdon!

Good luck Ironman.

Yes they are. The first issue Ballack [red shirt version] is closer than the other [white shirt] but I'll take either if it means getting the duo space worthy.

I hope you find them, they're really good likenesses alright! Say... any luck finding the Medicom Che Chimp/Rebel Ape Ironman???

LOL, Yeah, I had posted that right after he put it on his site. Now every Caesar can be an exclusive version.

On a more serious note...

I've been trying to track down a web image of the poster Brent finds in the abandoned subway station that reads:

"New York is a Summer Festival"

Framed and distressed and aged in 1/6th scale, I think it would make a cool accessory for Brent in slave attire. Need some help in tracking something like this down. So in your travels in WWW dot land please keep an eye out.

Thanks guys!

 

[angelofmusic2112]

That really would be a neat poster to have JUNGLE. In fact, I'm thinking that entire subway station scene would be pretty easy to recreate as a diorama.

I'm on the Internet right now gathering some pictures of the Statue of Liberty for an upcoming sculpting project. The real question, once I actually move forward on this, will be what scale to use. 1/6 scale would be awesome, but just way to BIG. I'd probably use 1/12 scale. 1/12 scale would serve the purpose, and be about as big as a 6 foot man... who was broke in half.

I started working on the John Huston Lawgiver just last night. I hope to find some time today for him. I have some chores to do...and a hockey game to watch.
