NEW: Tony Mamaluke (S. Steiner, Rex, Babarian)

[Classic Collector: The Return]

Haha i steal alot of ideas as well, post my stuff to give other ideas to use. I have added a set of antler from an animal toy i found in the craft shop, just haven't taken pics with them on yet

[That guy next door.]

Wow, Ralph is awesome..................................................Oh, crapiola sandwiches! So are you LOL.

I really like this custom. The Ralph gear is amazing, but the antlers and the detail in the face and beard really bring it all together. Great job. I'm really impressed with the head.

Update page 1 with Moondog Rex.

[XHW]

awesome Moondog, looks amazing

[easy1986]

The Hair transplant you did was amazing

[gdubs]

that sculpt-work of moondog rex's hair has to be one of the best I've ever seen!

[lumania]

Rex is really great. The sculting on the beard and hair is among the best I've seen. As someone who uses quite a bit of Sculpty, I can attest how tricky sculpting realistic hair can be. My only suggestion would be to paint some chest hair on him. Otherwise, spot on!

[michs]

WOW! that looks great i love the bone and pants look awesome well done, GREAT CUSTOMS!

[That guy next door.]

Sweet Moondog Rex, good use of a crap figure.

Thanks for the kind remarks guys. Page 1 Updated with "Steiner Brothers" Scott Steiner.

[gdubs]

that steiner is the best I've seen! If I were you, I would bring the hair out behind the ears just a little. I may have to steal this idea....

Great job on the Steiner. I like your custom, but I think it also shows why a lot of people use the Windham head (other than the fact that its easier than modding Steiner's WWE scan). Young Scott Steiner looked like he had kind of a broad "meathead" and the real scan head is just too narrow. Also, even though it's not a mullet, the Windham hair approximates the fullness of the hair behind Scott's neck.

Still, I think yours looks great. The face mod in particular looks well done. I wonder if you made the hair fuller in the back if it would offset the narrowness of the Steiner scan?

I forgot to mention -- your hair sculpting is looking really good lately.

[The Watcher]

i think i will have to steel your head idea for naperos new custom steiner he wants from me lol awsome work budy

[T-Phunk]

Thanks guys I specifically kept the hair at a length and thickness that I could get the "Michigan" jacket on and off. If I brought it over the front of the shoulders it would have either inhibited that too much or had a weird floating nature over the traps (i.e. Ministry Undertaker) which always kind of bugs me. It certainly could be a little puffier, but I was really just trying to salvage some articulation.

Glad you guys like the head choice, no such thing as stealing ideas. If you like it you should use it. Happy I could inspire such talented customizers.

Best Scott Steiner I have ever seen, I never understood why no one has tried that until now. Awesome work man.

I understand about the hair. A couple of times, I've sculpted a figure's hair exactly how I wanted, and then forgot about a shirt or jacket that ended up not fitting.

What did you use to sand down the goatee? I've done some sanding and filing down, but this looks like it took some precision.

[T-Phunk]

Dremeled the heavy part. Then I spent a long time sanding it with 200 grit paper. Very time consuming, but I am mostly satisfied.

Thanks. I usually use the "elbow grease" sand paper method for this kind of stuff, too. I need to pick up a dremel -- in particular, I've got a TTL Raven head that needs some hollowing out.

I actually ended up using a TNA head for my Raven. It's a wee bit small but if you boil it you can cut it with a good pair of scissors. I'll PM you a pic later. It's not really custom board-worthy.
