Does anyone have a Custom of Scorpio Sky, Joey Ryan or Willie Mack? I'd love to see any of those.. I started a custom of him for an order some time ago, but the guy quietly backed out on the deal before I finished. I'll see if I can dig him out of the part box. Here's a Joey Ryan I did awhile ago. ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h107/marman25/DSC01916.jpg) ![](http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h107/marman25/DSC01917.jpg) Wow, that Joey Ryan is so dope! I'm eager to see that Willie Mack. I might be interested in it if you finish it.

I couldn't sleep last night, so decided to dry-brush my Elite SCSA's jeans to make them look a bit more realistic. Very simple, I used two shades of blue and finally a tiny amount of white highlights to make the jeans look a bit worn/faded. I also changed the head to an RA head because I accidentally spoilt the original head. ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8040/8023153535_8713d186a3_z.jpg) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8181/8023153721_6702b8f831_z.jpg) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8176/8023153899_bedd3108ab_z.jpg) I did notice a bit of blue paint on the boots, I'll clean that up when I get chance. Next is a WIP I have started, it'll end up as an Undertaker out of ring gear (e.g. interviews/backstage/etc) from his ABA days. I decided to go with the short hair look as I have done a few long haired fix-ups. I intend to either change the legs to jeans (if I can find any that will keep his height in scale of course) or if I can't find anything suitable I'll make some myself (I cut a pair of jeans up in the summer as I didn't have any shorts haha - I only ever buy jeans/cargo/camo). The figure has a fair bit of work to be done yet as I am a huge Undertaker fan! Also, the face will be cleaned up at some stage, and I haven't sculpted the shorter hair at the back of the head as I will be putting a bandanna on his head when I find my tub of smaller figure accessories etc (my fiancé moved it and can't remember where to! Grrr!) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8034/8023154657_74be6d6032_z.jpg) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8042/8023153770_c279893b95_z.jpg) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8319/8023153612_cb38774309_z.jpg) ![](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8042/8023154081_e869c08d87_z.jpg) The base figure is the Mattel basic without the singlet (have no idea of the series as I got it loose on eBay and have only started collecting Mattel figures within this year). I removed the bit of black that was on the lower torso, touched up the BSK tattoo as it was a little worn, I painted the fighting skeleton tattoo on the back of his neck, painted up and added a rubber cutoff from an old TTL figure, cut his hair and repainted it and then repainted his face fuzz. As stated, it's a long way from completion though! if I can get some un-gloved hands with the same skin tone, I will put those on the figure too.

I really like that Hernandez pridefcf. It's really something that you dont see on here every day. The Sheik torso really fits his physique well too. Thats what I always hated about Jakks Hernandez. He's bulky as hell and the torso you used really captured that nicely. It looks like an r3 Angle head too? Great choice there. I almost thought it was the Jakks DI Hernandez head for a minute. Great likeness indeed. Does anyone have a Custom of Scorpio Sky, Joey Ryan or Willie Mack? I'd love to see any of those.. Also, not to compete with what pridefcf has shown, just a different take on Joey Ryan... ![](http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/mm331/Classic_DAs/ME%20Joey%20Ryan/MEJoeyRyan05.jpg) ![](http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/mm331/Classic_DAs/ME%20Joey%20Ryan/MEJoeyRyan01.jpg) ![](http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/mm331/Classic_DAs/ME%20Joey%20Ryan/MEJoeyRyan04.jpg)

How do I add basic boots on an elite because I want my Series 11 ADR's boots on my Elite 3 Cody From my experience, using basic boots on elite figures leaves a noticeable gap between the shin and boot. If you don't mind that, simply heat some water up and stand the figures in the water for a couple if minutes (submerging the whole if the boots) to make the plastic soft, then simply pop the boots off then pop them onto the other figure while still soft. As they cool back down again the plastic will harden back up again ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif)

Ruff Figures- Thanks you sir. Yeah, I believe it was an R3 Angle head. I initially thought it was a DA Angle, but when I got the parts from the customer, I noticed remnants of hair still on the head that I had to buff out. I was very happy with how the parts meshed together for Hernandez. The customer just showed me a lot of spare parts he had, and asked me what I thought we could do with them. Ever since the early DA days, I thought that Angle head looked good for Hernandez, so when I saw that and the Sheik body, I suggested it. And I still love that Ryan custom of yours. WWEKidCollector- Thank you for the kind words. If you have any attire ideas for Mack, or good reference pics of them, shoot me a PM. I don't know much about him personally, and the customer never picked an attire, so I didn't get that far into the job.

just look at the brown i used compared to his. way different. and the skin tones are a little different too. NO they are exactly IDENTICAL. The lighting and cameras ARE DIFFERENT. Pretty Dang Sad... That you actually tried to fight it. Dude there is no way you are trying to say you can mimic Axe's Skills, Just crazy talk. You just lost all credibility on these Forums, Your Done, Over. Get Out

So, here it is my first attempt to create something. I don't know, I'm happy for what i've done, but there's something that i don't like, i don't know what. Let me know what you think about it: ![](http://i50.tinypic.com/fxh3kk.jpg) ![](http://i50.tinypic.com/5pndqf.jpg) Maybe i'll change the boots to the red that come Bulldog and wait for "some" kneepads and vest. BTW, a BIG thanks to Apoc for all his suggestions and for the patience with me ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)
