| Really lovely, are you producing these for sale Alex ? What happened to the 1930 World Cup balls ? Apparently the finalists argued over which ball to use and ended up playing with one from Argentina in the first half and one from Uruguay in the second.
The posters are works of art, apart from 1966 which is pretty naff. I do like the 66 ball though, probably my favourite. | |

| for the old look balls I used original F size (big) Subbuteo balls, as far as I know no one sells them new (unfortunately!), while the new ones are the standard size ball, I used the new TopSpin match balls because they are probably the best looking currently available (but they are a bit pricey).
as well as a steady and delicate touch, you need all the liquids and stuff, easy to source from a good model shop, but I'm not gonna tell you it's an easy process, because it's not. once you get the hang of it it's ok, but be prepared to mess up a few, that's why in every pack I send 3 ballsworth of decals, because from experience I know you'll only get 1 ball.
alternatively I can take the pain/fun out of it and do them for you. | |

| I'll have a think about it Alex. Could you send me a pm with costs of the packs and also what you would charge to do them. | |

| Repeating what the others said really, but this is truly amazing work. I for one, can't tell the difference and from just looking at the photos, I think these balls could easily pass for the real thing.  | |
