Been working on my painting lately. Finally splurged on some decent paint and it's working out. A few things I've been working on.. 2014 Seth Rollins singles runSwapped out the E37 legs for Lost Legends Shawn Michaels. Swapped the hands out with a basic MVP to give him actual gloves. Swapped the arms as well but I forget who with. Repainted the tights solid black and added the silver details. Got to fix the belt buckle and I got a bit of glue on his face. I'll have to do a head swap but swap out the hair to keep the half blonde. His butt is looking rough in the photos from repeated painting and repainting so I might sand that down and repaint it a final time. Still have to touch up the boots around the silver as well. Elite series 48 Dolph ZigglerSwapped out the beefy legs with another Lost Legends Michaels. Repainted them solid black and added the dots and painted kneepads to match. Swapped the beefy arms out for E13 Ziggler's. Been working on this for a long time. Lots of sanding and repainting. Still have to touch up the dots as they're a little too polka for my liking. Also, the white dots aren't totally accurate as the crotch piece and calves' dots clearly have a slight silver shine to them. Fix-Up KENTA/Hideo ItamiMostly just some spare parts. Still a WIP. Basic Hideo head and arms, though I'll add his sleeve soon enough. The torso, shoulders, codpiece and thighs all belong to E10 DiBiase Jr. Kickers, knees and knee pads were spare parts. I wanted the DiBiase thighs to have his thicker legs and hips he's had in WWE lately. Not sure what I'll do with the tights yet. I used to think I was forever junk at painting for the past 15 years. If you're in the same boat, I strongly urge you to look at the materials you're using. Once I got some actual higher end paint I've made massive strides in very short periods of time. Hope you guys like em!

That Ziggler looks really good, I've been wanting to change those beefy legs for the longest. I didn't know that the Lost Legends Michaels' legs are ball-jointed tho.

Wish I could find more of those old discounted TRU 3-packs. One with Michaels and Malenko would be great cheap parts. Edit: WMXII HBK is also ball jointed.

For that matter what Multi-Pack had them both in it?

That Ziggler is perfectly proportioned. Maybe have to do this myself. Good work.

For that matter what Multi-Pack had them both in it? In Canada (maybe elsewhere too) they bundled random inserts of unsold Lost Legends and E37 at a reduced price for clearance. Never saw one with both those guys in them but I saw a few that had E37 Malenko. Mostly just Kamala, Taker, Steph, Cena, E36 DDP, and Jerichos. I meant how great it'd be if I found one of those multi packs with Michaels and Malenko.

Not perfect but it’ll work. Also, after seeing the Retrofest Shawn Michaels, I’m trying to decide if I should finish these.

Yes, finish those. They look more accurate.

Yes, finish those. They look more accurate. I was going to say the same thing. They look a million times better than that RetroFest Shawn.

To those of you who make decals, how do you go about it? I need to do some for an Eddie Guerrero custom I'm going to be working on.
