I just recieved my first Punk Pepsi and Cobra tattoos in the mail today. Never done this becore Any tips or advice? Would really like to avoid screwing them or the Punk Elite figure up Any help would be appreciated Alright I screwed up the first set! Got the second set on now and it looks good (to me at least!) Can anyone tell me, do I need to seal them with sonething or are they just good to go now? ANY help would be appreciated And is there any easy fixes to make the Jinder Punk Heyman BAF head look decent? Besides just switching to another. Would like to keep it close to WM 29 look as possible I'd spray it with sealer. I heard clear nail polish works too.

I forgot to say I am brand new at this part swapping and trying to put decals or tattoos on. Haven't tried painting yet What kind of sealer would I use? Thanks in advance

Haven't tried painting yet What kind of sealer would I use? Thanks in advance Clear matte sealer. You can find many different brands and different variations, the most common being in a spray form. However, I tend to have the most success with the flat FolkArt matte sealer that comes in brush-on form. I've also had some success with clear nail polish, but when it comes to sealing decals be very careful- depending on the brand, it can have chemicals in it that eat away at the decal. But no doubt that it will seal the decal in-place. In the end, it is safer (and looks better, IMO) to just use a brush-on, clear, matte finish sealer.

Also, remember kids - be careful when cracking torsos and using X-Acto knives. Ouch!! Wear gloves. Ehh... you'll be okay, don't worry so much Remember, always cut away from yourself!

Would like to keep it close to WM 29 look as possible repaint the hair to actually be a brown fade. And maybe add the bags under his eyes. Not the best head but I see what they tried going for.

I would like to know if anybody has made Lex in his WCW black trunks, black kneedpads look. If so, would the easiest way be to paint over the stars & stripes on his trunks or should I acetone off the designs and then paint? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry I dont have the answer to your question, but I was wondering what head you are using for fonzy? Slater elite mean face? I hadn't put a ton of thought into it yet, but I was thinking Christian, I saw someone else use it and it turned out pretty good. Slater is a good idea, I like that mean face.

Yeah Fonzy needs the thinnest most narrow jawline there is, I see alot of that in the elite Slater scan

Been a while since I've posted anything. Work has been bananas. Here are two recent customs. Savage with his dark pink trunks. Swapped bandanas. Stars are meh, might give them another shot. Also, here's my Sting custom. It took about 82 layers of paint for that neon green to work. Got a little ugly hear the hip joints.

Here's a round up of my weekend fix-ups, I guess. Ziggler and Fandango have each other's arms swapped. I love how it looks for now. Bray will get an extra coat of brown but he also has an even shiner glove now: Pedigree - Love the stonger! Is that a Tyson Kidd head? Great work. Macho looks pretty good too, but like you said, I'd even out the stars. I understand though, bc those are an absolute nightmare to paint.

@jobbermcgee the more I worked on the stars the worse they got haha. The more i fiddled with them the less even they were!
I actually don't know where the Sting head came from. Before I started making my own customs I bought a a basic custom Sting on eBay. I popped that head off and repainted it because the hair and skin tone matched perfectly.
