[bharrisfan]

[Chewdeezy]

Looks great! I hope we get a FB this year, otherwise I'm going to need a custom done.

Bandy, your Lesnar is amazing and i've got no problems with the image loading, superfast.

I can't even notice the shine on the chest, that eraser is fantastic.
The figure looks factory made, you are the man.

So the secret of the "non-shining" after the goof off on the chest and trunks is that magic eraser?

I noticed that the plastic of the arms, legs and boots is different from the chest and trunks plastic, that's the reason of the "shine" when you use goof off on them.

Bandy, one thing I noticed is there his gloves used to be that should now represent wrist tape, it looks a big thicker than wrist tape should, is there way to sand or file it down so it looks more like tape rather than the top of gloves? It just sticks out to me. Other than that one thing, it looks phenomenal. Dean did a good FB Brock too. You guys do good work. Loved the two tone Arn Anderson by the way.

Blah, since the Fix-up thread got locked again, I'm adding my latest fix-up to my personal thread. Again it's a WIP until I can get a completed Zeke trunks with the Lesnar tat-design in the back that Dean's doing for me. Meanwhile he's borrowing Demolition Smash's trunks and I corrected the shine on his chest/torso with a little magic eraser! Notice the little ledge of magic eraser dust by his gut?

Personally I love the Elizabeth figure............
DIG IT!!!!!

Yeah I see what you mean. Those bands are actually removable too - I'd have to paint on the black wrist tape to keep it "flat". I'll try turning the bands around so you don't see the seams, maybe that might help. In real life wrist tape would be more "raised" from the wrist though.

.Taver: yah the acetone/goof-off leaves a shine that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can tone down, but the plastics are all the same flesh-tone colour - it could be the flash.

[joesgonnakillu]

Yeah we really need a FB Brock.....Great job. Really captures the look of the monster that he was back then. Just wish we had a angry face sculpt that looked more like him

[Bandalero]

So for the last couple of months I've really been on a SmackDown 2002/2003 kick, catching up on old PPVs and episodes I missed after I "turned off" wrestling when Vince bought WCW. I still can't believe the depth of talent that existed in that locker room back then, any one of those guys were capable of 5-star matches.

I want a real cool SD 2002 roster for my display and this is what I have so far (thanks in-part to some awesome trades from fellow WFers):



E13 Edge is waiting for his E20 Christian to arrive and wear the second SD tag strap. I'm waiting on a Michael Cole body to make a Paul E fix-up for FB Brock (who's still a WIP too). And I decided against owning Chavo - just not a fan of his.

Kurt Angle presented all sorts of challenges without the right parts available, but thanks to PJ for cluing me into Havoc Unleashed Series 1 Kurt Angle for the perfect-scale head. And after countless knees/calves/boots combos I've settled on this one since it gives Kurt the correct height/scale.

So what do you think?

[RybackV1]

I love it dude!! I'm trying to think of who else you can add!! Maybe a Rock, Booker T, Y2J, Hogan, Vince, Show, Mysterio, Old Cena, etc..

[smearone1994]

I love it i think for tag with edge maybe try using rey mysterio instead since rey tagged with edge in that time. I think for Christian that might work more for a attitude era collection, but whatever floats ur boat. Great collection my favorite era yet

[lestial12]

Yeah id get Rey and Chavo, then you'd have the complete Smackdown Six. Oh and definitely need Rock and Hogan.

[AlexWestCollects]

Looks great! I hope we get a fb brock soon.

[joesgonnakillu]

Great SD collection. What was the combo you used for kurt? I made my own and I am starting to get annoyed with the height

[Naw]

nice

[PJ]

Looks great so far. And no problem about the Angle head choice.

[Goon.]

Love the picture and figures, Great work!

[Deleted]

Angle looks great!

I think that they are George Steele boots and medium size calves, is that right?

That Benoit is amazing too.
Let me guess, Brian Pillman upper body and matt Hardy legs, but i can't know where the arms came from.

[Mr. Show]

I use that same Angle head. Fits mattels perfectly.

[n2jib]

I'm surprised the angle looks good using swagger body standing amongst other figures..
I thought it would be too thin.

[cmpunk7497]

i really like that kurt
