picked up the entrance stage last week forgot to post pictures, its really cool and will be very useful for all the pics I take in the future, I hated having to use the back of the carding's or boxes to take pictures before    also picked up a .99 cent Terry Funk at KMart last week, truthfully I grabbed it because it was so cheap, I had no idea what to do with it, then I realized it would make a decent Jamie Noble/James Gibson and I was always a fan of his so I threw this together. The scale is pretty good, hes taller then Rey and around the same size as Daniel Bryan, the biggest problem is I used the Hacksaw lower knees and it hangs over the boot a bit, but in order to get the scale I have to deal with it, unless someone can come up with a better suggestion, I'm open to ideas that could help. next up is my nWo fix ups, got the gear from he who shall not be named (is that still going on?) Scott Hallman oh man was this a pain to finally complete, after much debate I went with Elite 11 Wade Barretts body, Elite 13 Cody Rhodes lower knees, and an R3 head I have no painting skills whatsoever so his trunks will likely stay black and chances are he'll have no chest hair unless someone has tips for doing chest hair that someone with no skill can accomplishmy issue with Hall is that hes 6'7 in real life while Nash stands at 6'10, the scale is way off on my figures because Hall and Nash are the same size, so again if anyone has suggestions id love to hear them.     Hollywood Hogan this took a lot of debate too, I saw a great Hollywood in the fix up thread and obviously there's no chance in hell I could replicate that so instead of going with a super ripped torso like I did for my red/yellow Hogan I went with Kane like many have said to use. Yet again the scale is way off, Hogan is also 6'7 but stands at the same height as Nash, anyone have any easy tips for this one?   New World Order  just for fun...       so after waiting forever to finally put these fix ups together, I can say that i'm not exactly thrilled with how they turned out thanks to the scaling issues, I can live with Halls lack of chest hair and trunk detail but him and Hogan being so tall is driving me nuts! hope you guys can help! thanks for looking |

i get pretty sad every time i see someone with that nash... was broke as hell when the preorders and backorders were up....
you may need to swap out the upper legs on the figures to take them down a little.. just a simple boil n pop will do it..

Your height/scaling problem on Hall and Hogan can both be fixed by simple calf swaps. 9 times out of 10 you're using calves that are just too long....which is what it looks like you have on Hall. With the big boots (from it looks like Rude figure) you need the smaller calves. OR you can put the Barrett Calves back on and give him small black boots

I had a similar problem with my Hall, if you are not married to the idea of the tall boots, you could do what I did and keep barrett's calves and go with Cowboy Bob Ortons boots, and just paint black over the "ACE"...it still gives the white laces and soles...knocks hall down a few scale inches under Nash. Here's mine...  Hers another on the scaling...  |

I noticed every time I tried to mention "R a l p h s" in a post it changes to "spam," whats the big deal. talking about other figure companies is one thing, but a guy who does nothing but make custom clothing, he's not infringing on any company

Very nice nwo its looks great! acetoned them off, thankfully his trunks didn't have that much designs on them, I've done some before where I had to sit there and use like 20 q-tips to get designs off loving some of these ideas, i'm not married to these tall boots and I think Bob Orton with Barretts calves would be a great idea, that solves the Hall issue, but Hogan is another story, something about it just doesn't look right to me |

They look great! I have dreams that Mattel will one day release a Hall/Nash/Hogan NWO set... probably never happen though.  If you wanted to put "Hall" on Scott's trunks, they sell these paint-type pens (basically ball-point pens, that write in paint) in hobby/craft shops that you could easily use. And for the chest hair, you could use a black or brown felt-tip pen (or permanent marker type?) - don't use it directly on the figure... apply some to your finger or thumb and kind of "smudge" it on. Usually works out quite well! |

where did you take the pics of Nash and Rey? Is this the backside of the stage?
I really like your fix ups, Hogan looks great even with the scale issue

hey question about the stage. how many songs does it have!? I think it has 5 songs and 5 introductions, ADR, Cena, Orton, Sheamus and Rey I think, and the red panels next to the tron light up where did you take the pics of Nash and Rey? Is this the backside of the stage? I really like your fix ups, Hogan looks great even with the scale issue yeah it was the backside of the stage its the 'scaffold' part They look great! I have dreams that Mattel will one day release a Hall/Nash/Hogan NWO set... probably never happen though. If you wanted to put "Hall" on Scott's trunks, they sell these paint-type pens (basically ball-point pens, that write in paint) in hobby/craft shops that you could easily use. And for the chest hair, you could use a black or brown felt-tip pen (or permanent marker type?) - don't use it directly on the figure... apply some to your finger or thumb and kind of "smudge" it on. Usually works out quite well! that's a good idea, I was thinking about something like that but wasn't sure if it would work or not and that Bulldog/Slaughter idea sounds good, I just really don't feel like having to buy 2 more figures to get the nWo that I want lol |
