Ah, good idea! Working on a project myself and was wondering if there was a Brock-styled arm out there with white tape that i somehow missed. Yours came out looking factory clean! Was it just acrylic paint, or did you thin it down at all? Noob when it comes to paint over here. Yup diluted a bit with water for sure, but not extremely watery, say the consistency of evaporated milk. In a shallow container with the depth of paint at about how wide you want the wrist band. Then just pop off hands and dip/dry. That’s a great idea!

Axe, that Doom Ron Simmons is a thing of beauty! I would consider medium sized boots with the appropriate calves like Grayhaze did though because even from your reference pics Ron wore mid sized boots.

Picked up the WM34 Roman/Taker 2 pack from Ollie’s today for 10$ basically so I could give my Shield Reunion Roman a vest...

That new Ambrose scan looks weirdly like Kurt Angle in Ambrose cosplay gear.

Do you customizers always seal your customs with a clear coat? I keep reading that the coats can get sticky, or cause the figure to yellow, and some people advise against it.

The height of these two has been bothering me for years. Ted too short and bulldog too tall. I was never happy with anything I did to fix. Finally I think i can live with these. Ted w dlo calves. And long arm pads bc I didn’t have the tall knee pads. With a shortened irs Bulldog with e19 angle calves and boots

bharrisfan - black wrist tape and it is a great Doom Simmons. As soon as I can get 2-3 of these figures I plan to make a Doom tag using a similar recipe. Planning to do face masked versions until I can come up with a suitable Butch Reed head. what are you gonna use for the masks?

I am not sure just yet... potentially the mask from the Hogan build a figure set if I can find a few reasonably priced, then some black paint. Open to ideas/suggestions though. Not to mention I still haven’t found HOC2 in Philly...

He and The Berzerker's height bother me the most. They're friggin giants! EDIT: also what calves did you use for Bulldog? Which Angle or E19 of another figure?

MWFD i gave irs the shorter baf lower legs. i used ricardo but i think they've been released a few times. can't remember who else might use them though. i used the e19 2003 team angle kurt calves and boots, you can also use the entrance greats kurt calves but then you'd need to find a medium sized red boot if you didnt want to use the EG kurt white ones. or you could use a flair blue medium boot or even the kurt white boot. bulldog wore all of those around this time, not necessarily with this exact attire but he still wore red white or blue boots. ill have to take another look at berzerker, ya he's huge but at 6'8 i thought he was ok. now i gotta check lol

At first I didn't think anything of it, then it bugged the hell out of me until I purchased a Scott Dawson to fix the obvious fault. My fix-up Sid Vicious also bothers me now. I see reference pics of him face-to-face with Sting and Luger and both their noses kinda hits Sid at his mouth in real life, 'cept my fix-up has Sid a whole head-size taller so I probably have him at 7' 3" in Mattel scale or something. I need to change the calves.

I can't remember

I don’t think the very first ones were, but all the ones since his singles run have been I’m pretty sure. The new Top Talent one is sculpted on so I guess they won’t be anymore.

I can't remember So re-watching some old NWA/WCW PPVs I noticed Sting & Luger's noses kinda hit Sid at the mouth when standing toe-to-toe: My original Sid used Doink calves for the white socks-look he had, but you can clearly see he was like 7' too many" But I've now fixed him with some Razor Ramon legs, and it seems about right. He's still taller than Lex, Windham and Sting, but I lose the white socks : Found this old pic of young Sid with Kerry. I think it looks about right with the toys, bear in mind that it's a perspective shot looking up from ringside so Sid looks way taller than usual:

The new Top Talent one is sculpted on so I guess they won’t be anymore. I think the first Shield basic vests weren’t removable, then when he started wearing the logo ones & diff colors they became removable & since the removal and change of articulation they are molded on his torso now
