spudski Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 ... just putting some feelers out there. Mods feel free to remove if you feel it's inappropriate. In my spare time, I produce and get commissioned 'Artwork', mainly 'Subbuteo' themed, that are Club, Tournament or player related. They get hung or displayed in offices, studies, bedrooms, living spaces etc. Often presents for loved ones or just for fans. The likes of Ferguson, Charlton, Di Canio, Buffon all own some...and have quiet a few collectors of it. I very rarely get asked for Bristol City related ones...I've done a few of the Promotion winning team of last season and the 1976 team, but that's about it. Would there be any interest from City fans? I've thought about contacting the Club as to whether it's something they'd be interested in selling in the shop. All bespoke and hand painted. Some have original autographs...others printed. Just wondering whether anyone would be interested... Some recent examples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Could you do me a Steve Cotterill one, spud? All his promotion teams, nice big photo of his face in the middle, maybe put the word "winner" in quotes somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I think they look great. I'd contact the club definitely/defiantly. I'm not sure how it works with licensing from Subbuteo or anything… I'm sure you'd have a lot of interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globe Trotter Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'd certainly be interested in a city one...how much are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 So is it because of you buying up all the subbuteo sets that NTTDS had to stop creating his goal reconstructions? Some of us relied on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'd be interested in an 'all star' City team with the likes of Atyeo, Andy Cole, Scotty, Carey etc... what sorta price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1984 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Great idea and I would also be very interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 If you are seriously interested guys...give me a pm, with exactly what you would like. Can discuss via pm or email. Price is dependent on how much work is involved, materials, pics, any autographs etc. They are all bespoke and one off's. Comes with authenticity cert and number etc. Thanks for the kind words and interest. I've got a few 1976 ones to do with Robins badge :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 They're very impressive, Spudski and I am tempted to go for one of the 1976 ones. Not only because of City getting to the top flight that year but because I actually played a fair bit of subutteo at that time. I fear they will be expensive because of the work involved, but that isn't a criticism it is actually a compliment to how good, and unique, it is.

54-46 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Think it looks great and not wishing to be a pedant but re. the Leicester one, it's no longer the Premiership, but Premier League Not a huge issue, but the purists could be put off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mate...lots of stuff gets taken and put on social media. I had a picture taken, and used on the front and back cover of an Italian football book. Didn't know anything about it, until a friend spotted it in a book store...nuts eh! Just a heads up to everyone who sent me pm's today, I'll get back to you most likely on Sunday. Got Qpr tomorrow, and been busy tonight. Many thanks all for kind words and interest shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like them.. Would be brilliant if City commissioned a massive one of every single player to play for us on one of the walls in the concourses and a bit of history about each player.. Imagine how great that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 @spudski if you can do the Anfield team and a) nail the lime green and b) chop and glue Junior to make him obviously shorter I will buy one (seriously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make a 'suggestion' as to who it is with paint, but it's massively time consuming. Great suggestions and ideas though...will reply to all pm's tomorrow...getting ready for QPR now CoYR's :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
