I will try to modify this area and will post again if thats ok? May be some time because I have a dark elf team to paint too.

On behalf of those who know nothing about US football, I would like to say that the model is fantastic!

I agree. Thought the stance was good. What colours are you gonna paint him?

Really nice conversion

I'm not completely sure about what has been said about the left hand. To me he seems to be in a defencive linemans pass rush type of stance so the arm can be forward like it is, but should show more weight on it. If you like, you could turn the hand maybe 45º and resculpt the fingers so that he is leaning on the fingers not a fist. Or alternatively scupt the base around the fist to show that the hand is digging a bit into the ground (he is a big guy after all).

Well, that's the way I would have been in a similar stance (kinda).

Anyway, very good job

!

Great job!
I have the same (but not conversion) figure in my CD team and I like him very much. The only thing I'm going to do is the nosering. I see U did the same. Heh. funny

I have 2 of these guys I was going to do something similar with. Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever get to them. I need to get my 2ed CDs done since Narcotic reminded me they're still in a box.

Great pic.
I suppose that it will be easier for you to cut its left hand on the wrist and reglue it. The metal part seems too thick to be bent easily.
The same for the feet. Try to put only its toes on the ground, not the heels. The pose will be more realistic and dynamic: ready to Blitz after hearing the kick-off whistle !
