classic deluxe Deisel and a crapload more worth a

[mauler]

DA figs up first

My Randy Savage (keep in mind this is DEBUT era savege, so the knox head or anythig else would not do...)



Big Poppa Pump back in black!



same fig, just in white, one has got to go...


heres what the rest looks like:



everyone needs a Brock.....







and the obligitory Goldberg:



but here is one of my favorites...Deluxe DIESEL!!!




Sid in DA form (used a deluxe kneepad for his arm) yeah yeah he's a fixup, but just figured what the hell.


one of my absolute favorite wrestlers of all time Bruiser Brody getting the treatment Jakks should have given him:


come on the guy legitimatley hit fans with a chair, and no they were not plants as he regularly threw chairs wildly into crowds!
here is an early shot of him (just the base) but it shows the boot fur a little better.


Here are 2 Classic superstars (in RA style) i am working on now...

"Bowtie" Bob Backlund (attitude era) in wrestling gear





and a sneak preview of Jarrett for my 3 pack with Owen and Debra...

The head works to an extent but I still prefer the Mike Knox head for Maho Man. The painting is smooth and clean. The star designs are perfect. Did you use a stencil to get them like that? Painted belt is a nice touch.

[plasticsuperstar]

The painting looks perfect, the head looks quite good, I think it would look better if you made the eyebrows angrier and the hairline further back and wider. The bottom half of the head looks like Savage.

[JCF]

It looks pretty good. The painting is just great. I still think using a Mike Knox head is better though. It looks nice though.

actually i did, though i usually use waterslide decals. I used the michael hayes head because i was going for the really early Savage.

[brucebenoit]

pretty good macho man

[pwsphil]

very good. painting is excellent. its too bad we still dont have a jakks produced savage.

[Warheart]

that looks pretty cool man
nice job

[madness]

Howd you do the stars so nicely?

[mauler]

USED A STENCIL AND AIRBRUSH.
But I usually make waterslide decals.

[Gonzo Customs]

The paint job looks good on the tights and what not. However the head doesn't work. I'm seeing a lot of savage customs with no sculpting that do not work. To make a savage, one will need to use a non bearded head and sculpt the beard on. Savage has a unique beard line that can only be replicated by painting or sculpting. I have yet to see a savage that really impresses me, with the exception of the one somebody made with the early 90s WWF attire, minus the head.

[Gonzo Customs]

At second look, the benoit in the background looks like his head would work great for Savage, just needs a beard sculpted on. Hair sculpted as well.

BTW, I'd love to see another picture of that Steiner. My only complaint for that era of steinr is that he had two black stripes in his goatee at that point. Could simply repaint the hair and goatee to match color, then paint the two stripes in.

[hardyboyzwwe]

looks pretty good. i can barely tell whose head you used.

[mauler]

bump

[Buckey Jaw]

they all look good but I would have molded the bangs on savage

and what would you want for a steiner,they look good

[Blehschmidt]

My god that Brody is amazing

Could you possibly tell me what you used for the boots and cloak.

I need to find those knee and elbow pads too.

[jericoholic131]

That Jeff Jarrett is coming along nicely, can't wait to see the finished product. Nice work!!

[iggy]

The Gregory Helms head works perfect for Jarrett I will have to steal that some time in order to make the perfect custom. the Diesel looks really good too nice smooth painting keep up the good work.

[Phoenix Nitro]

Th-they're AMAZING.

I can't find a single thing wrong with them. And that Backlund? VERY smart choice on the parts.

This brings a tear to my eye.

sure, i actually used faux fur. i liked the way the boots looked, so i left them be as bruiser had many different boot looks, but beinfg as the vest looked too clean, i simply soaked the fur (after sewing it to a bone cruncher vest) to give it the mangy look. (letting it dry naturally helps with the mangy/ nappy look. then i needed to make it even mangier, so i used tan paint and worked it into the fur. needless to say, i love the result!
Knee and elbow pads actually came on the 3 pack mr kennedy from kay-bee.
Also great to see someone actually knows who Bruiser is!
