Hey Norbert,
First, let me say, I'm a big fan of your minifigs. They are awesome. I don't
have the patience for painting (those who can, do, those who can't, just
gawk in amazement at those who can do. Who Do. Er... ), so, wow. Do you have
a tutorial anywhere for making those anime-style hairpieces? I am now
finding modifying stock hair by whittling them down to be too limiting.
Anyway, to hockey...
I can't imagine how you did the winged wheel and blackhawk logos in paint. I
don't recall if the old time sweaters had the players names but if they did,
good luck to ya. Please post pics when they're available. I of course used
decals again. I just finished up the first 6 players (still looking for
white helmets--one advantage of doing old school hockey figs - no helmets to
scrounge for, or at least, not as many):

I am finding the emptiness of missing NHL hockey is lessening as the weeks
wear by and my disgust with both sides of the league reaches new levels I
heretofore did not think possible. I would be very happy to watch women's
hockey instead (I went to Brown, our women's team was always competitive
(the men, not so)), but it's not popular enough to warrant air time on the
television here. [sigh] Anyway, looking forward to those pics of your
minifigs.
