The sanding look perfect but he looks more "bald" the buzzed. Maybe try to mix some paints to get a shade that's just a hair (no pun intended) darker then his face skintone and paint the hair a bit? Yea I actually painted the head at first the same color as the beard, but it too much resembled the bp26 hhh head. So I sanded it off. And I mixed brown and white to lighten the color, but didn't work. I also tried color pencils but looked awful Mr. #1derful 🇵🇸 How do I "wash" it? And even Nivro™ if you know that'd be great. Thanks guys Not sure how the more talented customizers do it but usually I just wet the brush, dip it in the paint and brush it back and forth on a piece of paper a few times to take some of the paint off and then lightly brush a "dusting" so to speak where I want it.

Awesome thanks! I remember someone posting about doing it, but you've just made it 10 times easier to understand. Thanks, and I'll upload new pics tomorrow

Big Daddy Cool Diesel! This could've been a lot easier for me if I didn't paint over the original DIESEL writing. None the less, here is my latest..

What bigger arms with the same skin tone have people used to fix up their elite and basic Mr Perfects? You can reference my Mr.Perfect on page 1023. I used Bundy arms. Mr.Perfect had big thick strong arms, not ripped or shredded and definitely not as skinny as what mdt gave him, the Bundy arms on my Hennig look really good i.m.o. when used on a figure such as Hennig the Bundy arms almost look like a scaled down version of Brock arms. I think it works great. Plus the skintone is an exact match and the wrist tape is 'perfect' ;-) let me know what you think.

Should have been the way Diesel came honestly. My only gripe is the size of the font of "Diesel" Even Mattel's version was small. I always though it filled up his singlet more.

Loving that Diesel! I wanted this version for the E16, so it's nice to finally see it in figure form. Great job on the lettering.

Flair looks awesome man! I know, Another Finn Balor custom **YAWN** but im really happy with how this one turned out and probably my best custom figure yet in terms of paintwork. Started adding watermarks to my customs cause...why not eh?!

@kse: awesome Diesel figure. That's one of my favorite Mattels and your version with the black top looks even better.

Just a r3 head n shirt onto flashback aba taker. No the colour doesn't match Would love one in denim and long hair.. to me thats the definitive aba look. Realised that is houldn't waste my flashback figure.. tried it on regular taker figure and used hbj's overall for the jeans. However Cloth jeans can't beat molded ones!

@kse, Diesel looks great! That was my favorite attire of his at the time. Speaking of favorite outfits, holy $#!+ at that HBK with the IYH DX attire! Absolutely awesome. I never get tired of seeing new Finn Balor/Prince Devitt customs. That looks awesome, and the paintjob looks very clean. Great work all around as usual. I love this thread

I have searched but can't find an answer so apologies if its been asked countless times.
I'm getting the wm30 Bret Hart but need the elbow pads, I've seen a lot of people suggest the basic Christian ones but they seem a bit too bulky to me, are there any others that would fit the Bret figure but are smaller in size?

If you're willing to take the designs off with acetone or goop gone, most Triple H figures have the smaller pads.
