Finished painting St Mirren for my SPFL #Subbuteo project ⚽🎨
Classic black and white stripes, with a little gold trim to elevate the design. Painted on Superfooty figures and bases.
Loving how this one turned out — simple, sharp, and very Saints!

🍀 New team drop: a clean, classic Celtic inspired by the timeless green and white hoops. Hooped socks included (A seldom used feature I like!). Tried adding more detail to the crest — not perfect, but progress!

Painted up AFC Richmond in Subbuteo form — a hybrid build with hand-painted kits & custom decals for that Ted Lasso accuracy. Custom base inlays were a highlight. Fictional teams are fun but come with pressure. Just wanted to make something fans would smile at. #Believe #Subbuteo #MiniaturePainting

Coming along nicely now 👌
The base is down, the hoops are in place, and I’ve just finished the small details like the badges. Makes a big difference seeing it all take shape.
