I turned 28 last week, and i got some figs and gift cards i used to get more figs. - here's the Mattels. Basic4 William Regal, Elite3 Christian, Elite2 Ted Dibiase Jr., Basic3 Great Khali here's regal's new kneepads - they used to belong to RA Colin Delaney. I didn't like the bigger mattel kneepads for regal, they made his legs look even funner. small fix up, but i had fun doing it. i had to take off regal's boots, so that was fun. Christian's gots new hands. They're r3. the wristbands were painted on, and then extended to hid the wierd wrist bump that occurs because the peg on the R3 hand is much wider than the peg on the Mattel hands. but the extened black paint on the already extended R3 hand/wrist covers it up enough for me to enjoy Captain Charisma doing some signature poses Ted Dibiase Jr. doesn't wear black trunks anymore. Most attires the mattels are wearing are too dark and drab. he's been wearing blue a lot lately, so blue is what i did. I like it, and i think the detail on the back pops better off the blue than it did against the black. it still needs work, but i thought i'd share it anyways. *no fixups on Khali, nor are any planned. (bonus 'Tista boots!) got an Elite2 Batista and before i go crazy and add a beard and tats, i just did his boots there, that's all for now. still got some RTruth fixups and already outdated CM Punk fixups to post - that's another day. hope y'all enjoyed.

I really like the start of the Batista fix ups and also the blue Dibiase. You've motivated me to get out the ol paint and see what I can do

I really like the start of the Batista fix ups and also the blue Dibiase. You've motivated me to get out the ol paint and see what I can do 1) folk art paints. (not pigments) 2) get a good detail brush, care for it. 3) motivation 4) patience (use a needle or pin to scrape off any drips or excess paint - after it dries. and don't worry about scraping off mattel's fine work, it seems to be safe, just scrape lightly) you can do it. I've tried to paint so many jakks figures and been unhappy with it. Mattels just hold the paint better, and, if you haven't been paying attention, i've been fixing up nearly all the mattel's i have. - oh, and sealer, get some sealer.

Very cool I was thinking about doing the same thing to a Basic DiBiase, but haven't gotten around to it. And I just picked up another of the Repaint Batista in black at Shop Rite yesterday and plan on doing that to his boots. looks dood. And nice figs.
