GORGEOUS GEORGE & EARL HEBNER - Rumble Ticket Figs

[Deleted]

This makes #16 and #17 out of the 20 I plan on doing. The past ones are all listed below. Now that these are done, I only have 3 left! I'm making 20, and each one comes with a custom 'Royal Rumble' ticket - as most of you now by now. ;-)

First up this time is Gorgeous George. I give full credit to fellow WFer ROZZ. I asked him if it was ok to copy his work, and he approved. Thank you again ROZZ. ;-)

While it's mainly some part switches, I sanded the hell out of his face, and I hope it shows. The robe was a pain in the arse, especially the "lace" sleeves. Again, all new packaging and of course the Royal Rumble Ticket in there as well. ;-)

Next is Earl Hebner. Yes, simple to do... I know. What can I say, I've had very little spare time as of late, I saw a chance to make a figure, and I took it. Mind you, it was a little tough to track down an Earl head! lol.

i like it looks really good! 10/10

[purpleisaaw]

cant wait to see the last three. i love the gorgeous george and the earl hebner is simple but effective

[Warheart]

those looks pretty cool
simple but effective on the Earl.

[walkhard]

Your work has been great but honestly these two very simple figures arn't up to the high standards that you've set (at least in my mind)

[dam]

hebner is too buff

[v/\v]

they look fantastic, i looked at your other work too and they all look brilliant and the tickets look ing great, love the RR2000 one, brilliant.

+1 karma because i was blown away with some of those, well done.

[wwe4ever]

Both are pretty simple but effective. I think the Regal head works well for Curious George. Nice modding as well. Hebner looks good too but is simple like you said.

^Who is it then?

It's a Buddy Roberts head scan from the 3 pack of the Freebirds guys

Anyway great additions to your amazing line of custom figures. GG looks to be one of my favorites of the set thus far. Hoping we will see an HBK before the set is complete. Great work thanks for sharing.

[Deleted]

He's got it. It's Buddy!

As for an HBK. I don't see it happening.

For starters, I don't have an HBK kicking around here to use - and most of his Era's figures have been done to death.

I've got 8 customs I'd like to do. Only 3 spots left. I have the parts to make 2 of them, but those two are on the bottom of my list! lol.

[UWR]

haha dang that sucks, maybe I can help you out with a few parts. Just let me know what you need and I can see if I have some lying around.

[brucebenoit]

sweey those are nice

[Gonzo Customs]

Both are nicely done, original customs. Like the whole Ticket and custom theme.

[sabusghost]

Great customs as usual! As a MOC collector I'm dying to know how you do such clean custom packaging. It looks factory done. Most custom packaging looks pretty terrible. What's your secret? If you don't mind letting us in on it.

The secret is to not be cheap, and take your time. ;-)
I own two Laser Printers and a high res pixel camera and scanner. That, combined with the skill to photoshop and such makes these come out as good as they do.

I don't rush my projects, as is apparent by the fact that it's taken be a year to make 17 customs! LOL.

Some people make customs for a living and don't give the packaging enough thought. I appreciate the kind words guys! Actually - honestly?... I appreciate all the feedback. ;-) Good or bad. It helps me build and improve for the next one. ;-) (of which I'm still not sure who I should do!)

[sicksymphonies]

Both are great costums!That Gorgeous George is amazing.It would have been sweet ,if you could have put Human Orchid .

[jedsworld]

They look great well done friend well done!
