So it's hand painted, not copied the image/outline and painted over or somehow else?

like i said, i dont know

if it were me I'd hand paint via the square method (but im lazy), but considering how good it looks he either is still very good at painting by that type of reference or took the time to do up some form of screen/overlay, either by hand or possibly spray paint?

Well, I AM lazy so this is how i did it.

I had some fairly thick clear plastic sheets and placed it over a print out of my logo. Then I traced out each colour and cut it out of the plastic. Very similar to silk screening. Once fully colour separated, I then spray painted black, Grey and beige with an airbrush. Then my air brush crapped out so I had to hand paint the rest and touch up some of the black by hand. There you have it. Easy to do logo for your pitch.

Odin took some more pics of my team and pitch so once he emails me the images, I will post them.

Just as an aside to North American readers, the Spectrum 48 was not available here in Canada to the best of my knowledge. We had the Commodore 64, but its main rivals here were Atari 1040ST and (especially) the ubiquitous IBM computers running MS-DOS. Radio Shack also marketed their own computers under the Tandy name. So anyone west of the Atlantic and north of the 49th Parallel probably wouldn't have heard of the Spectrum anyway (as far as I know).

But to get back on topic: I can't wait to see the rest of the pix! And for Xtreme, who complained about coaches not giving their teams enough "love," you have to remember that not everybody is a great figure painter, or can afford to be. Or can afford to hire someone else to paint their figs.

I didn't think the Speccy made it out of the UK? (Ah, nostalgic thoughts of 80's gaming...)

im still confused about the "Spectrum 48 inspired team" comment. Not sure what that means or even if it is good...lol.
