I have to ask: Is the head on that Kharma custom a Booker T (perhaps the Jakks R3 head) with "make-up"? I never collected R3s but it is a Jakks RA head, perhaps it's the same as a previous R3 sculpt. I'm not the biggest fan of this custom at all. I made it a long time ago. I'm surprised how many people seem shocked by how it looks because I've seen this done at least a dozen other times as Awesome Kong customs on here.

Who is the green and black pants wrestler? Is that Trent Barreta? Certainly looks like his Dudebuster gear.

I had one as well as a textfed, but just stopped keeping up with it. I have my own personal long-running fed that I have kept records for and all that. Perhaps I'll get one up and running again though.

Hey everyone, here's an update of my somewhat recent buys and receivings and stuff... Got Cesaro with that loose UFC package during the RSC Valentine's sale. Picked up AJ and Ryder from WalMart yesterday. Was psyched to FINALLY find AJ. Also picked up the K-Mart Champions Big Show and releathered the belt. I still really want the shiny one with Christian, but this one isn't bad. Another shot of the new Ryder, with a custom shirt and the Elite gear. Finally dug this figure out of storage and found a meaningful spot for the oval IC Title. And, relocated the Classic IC Title. Here's my WIP Carlito (2005 look) I'm very pleased with how it looks so far. I've been debating with which design/logos to put on it. And, I've been experimenting with Mold Builder lately, so I threw something together. Enjoy. Comment. Thanks.

I'm interested to see how the new title turns out. How does the mold stuff work?

Nice set-up. BTW, I don't know if you were going for sarcasm, but just in case you weren't, Skip Sheffield & Ryback look a lot alike because they are the same person. Just throwing that out there in case you didn't know. If you did, just ignore me.

I'm interested to see how the new title turns out. How does the mold stuff work? You just mount the model to some wax paper and paint on thin layers of the molding compound, letting it dry completely between each coat. Then it just peels off basically. I made a practice mold for the Divas Title main plate and it picked up the detail perfectly.

Hey everyone, Got a big snow storm coming through and my most of my classes have been cancelled for today, so I thought I'd take some time to post these pics. First, I bought some new mold-making stuff, a two-part silicone putty which works beautifully: Here's some of my first projects fresh out of the molds: The heads aren't perfect, but I'm getting better at them I sprayed one with primer, you can really see all of the bubbles in the resin I'll try to actually paint this head and see if the bubbles are still visible. And now onto the NEW WWE CHAMPIONSHIP! I think it came out okay considering I'm still pretty new to mold making and resin casting. The plates are a little thicker than I wanted, but I've since casted some more and I'm getting the process down so they're getting thinner and better. And, my new pick-ups I absolutely LOVE this Del Rio figure. Best one yet, IMO. And, with the Elite gear: Thanks for looking.

The title is cool. The bubbles on the heads will still be visible untill you fill them in just painting them won't make them magically disappear. Just get some filler fill them sand them a little to smooth out the filler and you will be ready to paint. It's hard to get a perfect cast even the best ones on here need to use filler to get rid of the air bubbles.

Awesome collection, and nice work molding a new belt! I really like your arena set up, and you have some really cool customs and fix ups! The elite style Cody Rhodes with the white attire is sweet!

Definitely seems like something to invest in. Thanks
