My next project will be a custom of the unreleased Jim "Anvil" Neidhart Hart Foundation figure. Always save your junked figures. I had everything I needed in my parts box.   |

How about Andre The Giant and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase vs Hulk Hogan and... Rocky Balboa?  |

These are great, well done! I have a couple of questions:
1. The Batista custom - did you paint the torso at all? I'm thinking of just using a The Rock body and putting a Mattel or Jakks Batista head on it (whichever one I can find that's the closest skintone match).
2. I'm planning on a custom Roman Reigns, using The Rock's upper body, glued onto the Hasbro Sgt Slaughter lower body. Paint the legs black, put a Reigns head and vest on the figure, and paint some of the tattoo work on the arms. Does that seem reasonable, specifically the Retro upper body on a Hasbro lower body?

Hi, and thanks for the compliment! I did not repaint the torso on the Batista. I avoid skintone painting as much as possible. Sometimes, its unavoidable, though. I'd say you have a great idea with that Reigns custom. Just do a close examination of the width of the torso vs the width of the Slaughter legs. As long as they match up enough, it wont be glaring. Heres a tip with that, too. Invest in an electric Dremmel tool. It really comes in handy when I have to sand down, saw off or slightly modify plastic parts to create a fit. If you alter the peg of the Slaughter legs, you may be able to allow it to fit in the Retro torso. Its would give your figure stability. Let me know how things are coming along! |

Heres another in-progress figure. I have to clean up my paint edges then hop on Photoshop to create decals and my Al Snow will be finished.  |

That Fiend retro is awesome! Here is one of my latest. Raven in his WCW attire. My printer crapped out on me for now, so it’ll be a little while till I can add a decal for his shirt.  With his trademark shirt wrapped around his waist  Raven was definitely one of my WCW favorites back in the day |

Awesome idea for Raven. I'm thinking either the Owens or even Cena would work. Great job! All peasants must bow for Macho King Randy Savage!  |
