More mostly obscure classic customs from your's truly. Terry Taylor   Mr. Wrestling II   "Iceman" King Parsons   "Dr. D" David Schultz   and an easy fix-up... Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, the Fantastics   "Hotstuff" Eddie Gilbert  "Cowboy" Scott Casey   WCW and WWF Shane Douglas   "Satanic" Kevin Sullivan   "Killer" Tim Brooks   and finally...the crown jewel. A true Jobber Hall of Famer in every sense of the word. In honor of Thanksgiving, the man who one the first (and last) AWA Turkey-on-a-Pole battle royal...the man who won the infamous Team Challenge Series for Larry (Zbysko's) Legends...the one...the only... Jake "The Milkman" Millman  The front...  The sweeeeet tail he rocked in the back...  Yeah, he's customized. |

Let me preface this post. I am in no way being mean to you. Just offering some advice and some of my observations.
These are very sloppy. You need to mask areas in which you don't want paint. There are spots of red paint on the cowboy boots. The paint on almost all of the trunks is also on the legs. There is black paint on Sullivan's hands. Those are easy to fix.
The sculpting is really chunky, uneven, and thick.
I do like some of the head choices though. What head is on that Gilbert? I have one almost finished and I like your head better than the Hass I am using.
The last tip I can give is to take your time. Instead of rushing to get four or five subpar customs finished, just slow down and and put all that effort into one good one.

pretty scruffy, too much paint, applied in a hurry i think. take ur time.
On killer time brooks u have missed areas where the original plastic hasnt been painted, ur colour s dont match sadly.

Love the choices!! The "Milkman" should be in CS no doubt. Take the advice given, you have some diamonds in the rough. The Tim Brooks is close to a Mad Dog Vachon for a future idea.

Yeah, as I've stated in the past, painting is not my strong suit. Also, the only way my camera takes any pictures with clarity are the ultra closeup shots, which obviously shows every inperfection. Except for the Milkman, I have had these done for over a year...they are stored in a box along with many, many others. The paint wears away and fades, which was part of the problem.
The criticism is well taken and I appreciate the feedback.

I like the figures. It wouldn't be hard to touch these up and really make them stand out if you choose to do so. I really like the guys you made though. Great recipes..

I liked your last batch of customs better but still a fan of these as well. Yes, there needs to be some better paint jobs but no big deal. Love the choices, especially the Brooks and Milkman customs. Looking forward to more customs from you.

Sorry to bump an old post but I must have missed the updates to this. Obviously I am a Dr. D fan, love the custom you did of him. A lot of cool customs here. Love the fact that you do customs of wrestlers who do not havea figure released. Keep them coming.
