Models for Steelers Fans

Now that is pretty cool IMHO and you did a nice job. First rule of wanting something. If you don't have the cash, get creative. Excellent display IMHO and at a glance they look great!

I might have to do the same thing if I want a replica trophy for the Saints SB win (Roger Goodell can pucker up to my posterior baby!).

But let me ask you, have you ever considered taking one of these trophies to some of the players and having them finger print them up and kiss them so they look just as fondled as the originals?

We've discussed that a lot, especially given Troy Polamalu's comments about thinking our six trophies should be displayed "sticky" instead of all polished up back in Pittsburgh. We take the trophies out to Steelers club events here in Jacksonville, so they do get fingerprinted up, but I clean them up before I put them back on the wall.

We go up to Heinz Field every April for a big fan event called Fan Blitz, and we were thinking of taking a trophy up there to get autographed, but they are bulky and heavy. I used to make smaller, 3/4-sized, replicas and we took six of them down to Tampa for SB XLIII, and we had them at a big Steelers bar down there. When we won the game we brought out the sixth one and we had people lining up for hours to have their pictures taken with them, but we learned fast that mixing trophies with drunk celebrators was a really bad idea and they kept getting knocked over (the trophies not the fans), so when I made the fullsized trophies I weighed down the bases with about 20 pounds of weight that makes them more drunk proof.

One funny thing was when we first joined the Steelers club here in Jacksonville we took one of the trophies out to the restaurant where we get together to watch the games, and my wife and I saw everyone sort of looking at us out the corner of their eyes, but no one would come up and say anything to us. As the game ended a couple came up to our table and asked if they could have their picture taken with the trophy and we said sure. Then they told us they had wanted to come over and say hi earlier but they saw we had a Lombardi trophy and that we must be with the Steelers and they didn't want to bother us. My wife started laughing and said "he made that in our garage!" Here they all thought it was a real trophy and we were some sort of team bigshots or something, which is why they didn't want to bother us. We told everyone it's just a replica, and they all came over and welcomed us to the club. It was pretty hilarious.

They look awsome!!! Of course being from and living in Pittsburgh I am a huge steeler fan.. Great idea

im a UK Steeler Fan so i love this

Now that I would say is the definition of one of the coolest models ever. It looks so close to real that people think it is and when they figure out it is a replica, they STILL appreciate you for it. Nice!
