@ Dean - you should use Apoxie Sculpt to fill in Melina's head. Google it. They make different colors too, but you may need paint her scalp. It works awesome and is really easy to use.

It's a little expensive but it's worth it.

I've got the furry boot covers on my Brody but I think I like the Melina covers better. Are you going to paint them? Maybe a gray dry brush or wash?

Dean, I use Aves Apoxie. It's a 2 part apoxie that air dries after 24 hours and has good workabilty.

It looks like you both are suggesting this. I looked it up and watched some YouTube videos on it. It looks like the route to go. Thanks guys!

I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.

I should have it finished by the weekend.

I'll prob just leave them the way they are. I like the way it looks, but I'm not 100% sold on them.

Here's an older one I never posted. I put the Wrestlemania 26 HBK head on the Elite 3. Looks much better.

Custom ref

[wyleecyotee]

That came out very nicely.

Good idea

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

Thanks, don't know how I came up with the idea

[wyleecyotee]

Hehe

I'm definately going to do this though when I get the Rock, might go tomorrow.

How easy was the torso crack and does the Rock head sit high on the neck for the WM figure as some other persons pictures show it like?

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

It's pretty easy to crack the torso, just have a sharp knife(stanley knife preferably), and flat head screwdriver. Boil water and put figure in water for 1-2 mins, remove head and arms, then slice the top of the neck both sides, then screwdriver behind the shoulder and push back and it should crack easy.

The neck is quite high on the neck

[wyleecyotee]

Ah thats a shame, I do actually prefer the Legend head but whatever one fits better will be what I go for.

Cheers for the tips on cracking.

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

Yeah, I prefer the Legends/DM one, so might use that when I get my DM

No problem man

[bigraj]

@ Dean - I think I prefer the Jakks boot fur over the Melina ones, but some paint might take care of that. I do like the idea of drybrushing a little gray (or maybe some light brown) on them.

So I just attempted to do a headswitch with the Vince McMahon figure.

My plan was to make a DX/nWo version of Rick Rude. With briefcase and all.


Doesn't work.

The Rick Rude head sits so far down on the neck that it looks like he has no neck. #fail

I havent tried it with the rude head but I had a problem like that with one other figure. Take a cotton ball and tear a small piece off and stuff it up inside the head and then sit the ball joint down on it. Might raise it a little bit.

id love to see this if possible, sounds good

Was able to pick up the road to Wrestlemania The Rock. All I need is a dress shirt from Rocks days in the late 90's and I'm all set. Here are some pics

CM Punk Elite 11 Head (If you are interested in getting copies just PM Me. They will come white and you would paint it. If you want me to paint them I can but it would cost a little more)

[The Highwayman]

Here's a couple things...

First, I ordered two Shows for the Tag Titles. I really like the Show figure too, but I obviously didn't need two and ebay seems flooded with them so I decided to try a little something and make a slightly Slim Fasted Brodus Clay:



I cut the shins down to make him a little shorter...


Now, here is my releathered Mattel belt collection:







The IC Title with my fixed up Rhodes. It is his Elite figure with the 2P8 head and a hoody made my OTW Grotesque Punk on here. Waiting for my BP1 figure to come from RSC and then it'll be near complete!



And, my Sin Cara custom with a duster also made by OTW!

Aside from the head, I love that Brodus. I would prefer an angrier scan though. Don't know what head I would use.

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

Loving those JPD, also, got any pics of your Trent Barreta that's in your ring?

[thefezz09]

what did u use for the tats on brodus clay?
thanks
