Right, i have not made a custom in... 7 years, even then, that was only using paint. This is my first time trying to sculpt anything, wrestling figure or otherwise. Anyone have any advise, especially on removing fingerprints whilst the sculpey is still soft? i heard brushing baby oil works. Critiques welcome... i'm personally not that happy with the rings on the detailing, some are a little squashed... may chip them off and redo them.

Great stuff on this page! Love that Taker sculpting. The only thing I do is wet my finger or a sponge to smooth out the fingerprints.
East Coast, love those Luger fixups. Where are the Narcissist fixups?
That Batista is awesome also. The decal adds a lot to an already great figure.

The evolution on my 90's heel Shawn Michaels custom *Pic Removed* And here's a better picture of the most recent version. I was going to use the white IC belt HBK held at one point but I went with the powder blue even though he only had that strap for a brief amount of time. *Pic Removed* How did you change the color of the strap? Just paint? Great custom btw.

I just popped out the plates and painted away. Let it dry and popped them back in. Nothing too fancy. Glad you liked it!

Out of curiosity, does the paint chip when the belt is moved? One would think, but it holds up pretty well. I dilute the paint with water and wait until it fully dries between coats. I just pull on the area that I'm reinserting the plate and move on to the next spot. There was one minute area where the paint came off but it took 2 seconds to touch it up.

Here's a closer look at my custom belts. I've had some DM's about them so I figured I'd post a better picture. Real simple to make. Paint holds up through the process of putting them back together too.

Just finished these up. Been working on Hall off and on for a bit. Switched the SSlam Heritage Hunter head to Elite 23, then used the Elite23 head to make an early DX Hunter. Then just for fun here they are with their partners in crime. The Outsiders DX

I'm determined to have the smallest fix ups imaginable on here, so here we go.... Two fists on Hawk. Red knee pads on Animal. No gauntlets. Tag titles. Two fists on Luger, so I can have him in his signature pose.

Info: Chryst, one of my custom characters. This is my fully playable version, although I will be commissioning his current look in a month or two. This was the very beginning of his character, as he was repackaged and came back after a "serious accident". He slowly became crazier and crazier and now thinks of himself as the son of God, a resurrected Jesus Christ sent from God to purge the evil from the world (SVR 11) Think Bray Wyatt sorta, only I came up with this gimmick in 2010, believe me or not, don't care. He further spirals into madness and gets a split evil personality who wears a mask (WWE 12), more evil than the current one. Then he was finally carted off to a psychiatric hospital to return more human. (WWE 13) He would paint and do docile things, but slowly his painting would get more, violent and sick. Finally he reverted back to his old ways, the Chryst personality and the Belial personality as one, becoming more monstrous than ever before. (WWE 2K14) Basically: Insane due to accident. Thinks he is god basically. Not Bray Wyatt. Invented and been practicing since 2010. Anyways, this was at the very beginning, after his "accident". Yes the eyebrow chunk is supposed to be missing. He eventually shaves his eyebrow completely off. Once I get a Luke Harper, I will post my Chris Anderson character. Update on Chryst: Caw version: Proportions and colors are off due to me taking a picture with my phone. Video of me in the character:

@monoxide23, great figure, but you're scaring everyone outside of Banter.

@monoxide23, great figure, but you're scaring everyone outside of Banter. That's my job. Also, added the gauntlets to my elite Roman Reigns that was in the arms of that Basic 20 Mysterio
