   Chris Hero. I've been working on this figure since like December of last year. I'd work on it and stop and repeat the process. This figure almost made me stop customizing, haha. This figure is for SALE, PM Me with Offers Since Hero likes to wear a track jacket to the ring, I'll throw this in, if you buy it.  BJ Whitmer.Besides Hero, this is the only other completed figure. The picture is from March of 08 and I finished this figure in maybe May or June 08 and it's just been thrown around. The face/nose is kinda messed up, I think the sealer got roughed up. Chest hair is hand painted. I wanted to make a BJ with short hair cos I think he looks like a badass with it, haha. PrototypesIf you'd like any of these, let me know and maybe we can work out a deal. It'd give me motivation to finish them,  . "Anarchist" Arik Cannon. This attire is from Chikara's King of Trios. I still have to do all the tats and everything on the pants. The Skull with the Mohawk or the CANNON down the leg. Hopefully it turns out easy.  Lightning Mike Quackenbush. I saved a picture of this attire like 2 years ago and recently found it again. Decided it was one of the easier Quack attires, so I tried it out. The designs on the legs need some work. I used the smiling Striker head for something different. The new Rey torso with regal arms. Gotta change out the hands as well.  Sara Del Ray. I didn't want to do a bunch of sculpting like CMD did, so I used a regular women's body with Delaney lower legs. Not sure if I'm gonna sculpt kickpads on or not. Didn't want to use the women's kickpads since Sara's kickers are thicker. Needs some work since it's also been thrown around.  Sweet n Sour Larry Sweeney. Not the attire combo I'm using, just a place holder at the moment. The head is a frankenstein of two different heads. Gotta redo the eyes. Not sure which suited look I'll give him. PM me with an offer, if you want any of them.
Thanks for looking,
Nick. |

Good stuff nick, hero looks pretty nice. BJ looks decent, the head looks a little like jimmy olsen.
Cannon and Quack look great, that Quack head is the best one i've seen used.
Sweeney looks good, im gonna guess old orton and a dusty head. Sara's ok, a better looking head would probbaly pull it together

Hero looks great, love the head choice.
But I think the real gem is Sara Del Ray. Simple and effective. Top job!

Chris Hero- The boots look a little sloppy. The logo on the chest is okay but it could be a little straighter. The silver paint looks like it could use another coat. The head is nice, I like it. The hair looks like it should be a tad longer judging from the ref pic.
BJ- Once again nice head choice. The chest hair looks bad though. it is too dark and no real texture. If you lightened up the color and did the same technique that you did it will look better.
Arik Cannon- I don't like the head. The top looks very thick. It is distracting because if not for the thick top this would actually be pretty good. So maybe thin that out and change the head..

Nick, you've improved tons since the last time I saw your work. All of those look superb. Just out of curiosity, who's head did you use for that Quack custom? It looks dead-on.

It is distracting because if not for the thick top this would actually be pretty good. So maybe thin that out and change the head.. Hero- The left boot in the picture is a factory made Jakks boot. The right is just a reverse copy of it. That was my first time doing a CH logo without printouts, so I was pretty happy with it. Cannon- The top is not as thick as it looks, it's actually quite thin. It was a pre existing sculpt that I got from a friend, so I decided to use it. Nick, you've improved tons since the last time I saw your work. All of those look superb. Just out of curiosity, who's head did you use for that Quack custom? It looks dead-on. The Quack head is a smiling Striker head with the little piece of hair on the side cut off and modded. Did some modding on the cheeks/chin to make it more Quack-ish. |

Chris Hero - I don't care for the head choice at all. I know who Hero is, but I'm not a follower and never seen him wrestle, but from the ref pic it looks like a CM Punk head would have worked better. The painting is well done, logos look nice.
BJ - I like the body and parts choice here, however I don't like the head once again. From the ref pic he looks more like a younger Taker, such as the classic Grey attire Taker head modded would work for him. Painting looks good on this one as well. The head almost looks like it'd work for Shane Douglas. Also, the hair looks too dark.
Arik - I know you didn't do the sculpting on the torso, that has been addressed previously. The head choice looks good, I think it will work, but I think maybe a Kenny head might work for him better. Great job so far, should turn out good.
Quack, Sara, and Sweeney all look to have good part choices and are painted well. Great job on these so far.

I like that you are defending your work or in this case your friends work but it is thick. When sculpting a a top like that you have to make it skin tight only sculpting inbetween little crevices like inbetween the pecs and under the pecs..and also add some wrinkles.

Can you give me an example of what you mean. I don't think it would look like a singlet on a figure as much as random bits of clay on a figure, painted to look like a singlet.
