    The Beatles on clam shell backers!

    After throwing ideas around I decided to go with the resealable clamshell backers for my Beatles-Abbey Road figures.
    Getting the art work to line up was tricky but it came out perfecto! The names at the top curve a bit into the backer but it does not look that bad in real life otherwise I would have redone them.

    Thanks for looking!



    In case you missed them from here and my website.

    I'm currently working on a John Lennon 1966 for Al Barret. Any ideas for making the Sgt. Peppers suit please offline me. I will not give up on this project!

      Thank you sir. When I started I wanted to do "The Beatles in Mego" but so many people do "the Beatles in Mego" with the same old look when they were younger with the mop tops (which I have seen that are pretty sweet looking).
      I wanted to tackle "the end of the Beatles" like in "Abbey Road" when they were at the beginning of becoming brilliant solo artists and had just released one of their greatest albums of all time. Making "Abbey Road" looking Beatles in Mego form was the challenge, even more challenging was the clear clams card inserts. I wanted all of them the same and in black in white. It was mind boggling but I did it.
      I have a couple John Lennon's I'm working on for a couple members on here. There is a secret head out there that works perfect for him.
