Corporal Kirchner "The Living Legend" and "Italian Superman" Bruno Sammartino Jake "The Snake" Roberts (WrestleMania V attire) Ryan head works well for Corp! That's what I was thinking when I was looking at the Ryan head. No joke, then I bump into my Kirchner LJN and there was my "AH-HA!" moment. The other project I'm concocting is using a Beefcake #1 head on a 'Quake body for an Adrian Adonis. |

The other project I'm concocting is using a Beefcake #1 head on a 'Quake body for an Adrian Adonis. I look forward to seeing it! I’ve been to busy to even think about anything recently; but hoping to actually get something done soon, seeing as this corona virus might end up putting everything on lock down. I’m thinking of making a hasbro Rugged Ronnie Garvin at the moment - but the figure I want to use will need a lot of sanding I think. Do you know if/how easy it is to sand hasbros? |

That's been my thought here near Chicago. I'm stopping by Hobby Lobby and picking up figures and materials to keep myself busy if we'll be stuck in the house. Most are getting the vibe that we are slowly being introduced to a National Lockdown so people dont freak and get stupid. I'm rooting for a quarantine so I could paint, read, take naps, etc. Even have workout equipment in the basement. As for sanding, it depends how much you're taking off. If you're just doing the surface, I say get an very fine grit or your paint job will look like crap. If you're doing something like giving Bulldog short hair or some kind of reshaping, I highly recommend using an electric Dremel tool. I used it to convert my Scott Steiner to Big Poppa Pump. |

Ok thanks. I hoping to turn a Bushwacker Butch into Garvin. I always thought it’d be cool to mimic the Garvin Stomp! So I think I need to sand back the lower part of the cargos/legs, so that they look more like legs and less like cargos. But haven’t tried anything like that yet. And then will need to remove tank top paint & try to smooth edges somehow too...probably biting off more than I can chew! |

Definitely use a Dremel tool. Start with rough sand bit, then smooth out with buff tool bit to smooth it before using primer and a good flesh acrylic. Let me know if you need help with a good mix for the right skin color. I'm picking up this Kendrick head, trimming the hair and making an Evil Crush retro  |

how do you have so many parts/fodder😂these are awesome btw   That's a 1997 KOTR Shawn Michaels I'm starting. But thanks! When they flooded Walmarts, Targets, and finally Five Below/Marshall's, I grabbed as many as I could. Duplicates fill totes in my basement. I'm running low on SCSA Retros, though. Orton's are cheaper, but have to mess with tattoo removal. I also usually scour ebay for a good deal on Mattel heads. Here in Illonois, I'm going to have a lot more time to work on these lol. |

Thanks a lot! I have fun on Photoshop, so I utilize decals. I know some swear by "100% hand painted," but in reality, if you try to hand paint some things on figures scaled this small, it will look like crap. I'm working on a Nikolai Volkoff and Jesse Ventura. Should be finished tonight. I'm one of the lucky few that continues to go to work. Im in occupational therapy, so I'm front line. But my afternoons are free now. I tend to pick up Retos if needed online, too. Through Walmarts app I ordered like 4 Goldbergs $6/each. Btw, I recognize you from Twitter. I was Billy Bob Brockali. I took a hiatus from social media for awhile. Its food to bump into you again, Jordan. Stay safe, man. We're in for a bumpy road, but we'll be tougher for it. |

Decals for 8x11 canvas on Photoshop. Made most of SCSA's shirts from 1997-2002 for Retros.  |
