Season nearing... action figures

So with the NFL preseason getting started and the keepers for my USFL fantasy league decided, now i play the waiting game. When the last week of preseason hits, i'll hold a draft to fill out the rest of the team rosters.... by that time i should know all of the significant injuries, which is the reason i'm not bothering to do the draft part now.
So, in the meantime, i've been having some fun with some of the NFL action figures i got a few years back. These are not the bigger like 8-9 inch tall figures you usually see custom painted.... these are the little guys, only 3" tall, so they are a pain to customize, but they are pretty cool when they are done. I should have all the teams done by the time the season starts. Cheri put together a puzzle while i painted these. We sat together at the dining room table virtually all weekend just doing this stuff and listening to the 70's and the 80's radio stations.... pretty cool. pictures below of the figures.... not my best work, but again, these are the small ones.... pretty hard to be steady while the girls keep coming up to the table making me nervous.... oh well, we had a good time:)
