Real life prevented me from finishing my Clash figure with Rozz, and I publicly apologize to him for missing the deadline. Please comment on his figure, Ozzy Osbourne, in the Clash thread so he gets feedback. Alot of people are just saying "win" instead of giving him feedback--which he deserves!! Anyway... Man, I'm no lighting expert, but black backgrounds suck with a flash! I seem to lose most facial detail in all my pictures. Suck! That's not bueno. I'm going back to red backgrounds!      I made an alligator claw necklace that my damn cats must have swatted off my work desk and now who knows where it ended up! Grrrr... My missing Clash submission. The stipulation was managers:       He's a face transplant. Clarence Mason torso Jimmy Hart legs Mick from Rocky arms Dick Tracey hat Wars |

The Skinner looks great. The use of the Slaughter head works well. The hat and knife help finish it off. Painting is clean and sculpting looks it as well. Great job.
I'm not all that fond of the Slick. The figure looks too cartooney to me. And I don't see the resemblance too much on slick. I don't remember him having sideburns and can't find any pics with sideburns. Also only pics I can find of him he has just a mustache. The suit is way too bright, and I do not remember him wearing anything that bright, but he might have for all I know. Please show a reference pic for the Slick.

Here's a slick with a very thin goatee on the chin, but primarily a mustache.   |

Very nice. I've come to expect this type of smooth and detailed work from you. The skinner is very cool, but I agree with you about the black background, seems to mess with the flash. I can still tell it's an awesome figure, though. Did you sculpt the knife holster? It looks really good.
Slick looks good, colorful and very much the doctor of style. I would have loved to see the results of you vs. Rozz. So that is the BCA Clarence torso? How did you get the RA arms on it? I like the hybrid parts, they seem perfect for his body.

Slick sideburns and chinny-chin-chin: Like I showed, his face is a mold of the LJN Slick, and it is pretty dead-on for the time he debuted. Slick was a pimp! He occasionally wore *bright* suits. He had a bright blue one (my favorite) and a bright all-red one, that he wore on the Brother Love show when the Bossman beat down Hulk Hogan. (Slick maced Hulk, LOL) His torso fits over his legs like normal. His arms were strung together using elastic like a Mego figure (if you know what those are kiddies) He *might* look cartoony due to his static pose. My brush-on Super Glue dried out and I need more to brush on his arm swivels and neck area so the paint won't rub. Other wise he might just look cartoony... ;D His eyes look a little large (product of using the LJN mold) but I might go over his mouth/teeth a bit with some black area. Is it his skin-tone? I've never had a brown paint that I like (brown is always more watery than every other color I use--in all brands!) so if anyone can reccomment a good brown--I'm listening! Wars |

Very good painting on both figures... They look very smooth... As for Skinner the sculpting, paint, and body looks great.. theres just something about the head.. As for the Slick... He is my favorite of the two.. Looks good all around even though the eyes do kind of stick out.. looks better with the shades on to me.. Good job...

Ah, when you said face transplant, and showed the pics, I didn't even catch that that face came from the Slick LJN... haha
Just to me that face doesn't look that much like Slick. However you did do a great job on this, the cartooniness is the bright blue. The body size and what not is definitely great for him and you captured that well with your mix of parts. And yes, I know what Mego are and rigging the arms like a Mego was a great idea.

I really like the Skinner. The SGT. Slaughter head works well for him. Nice modding on the head and on the sleeve. The painting is nice and smooth and the knife and hat are a nice touch. Slick looks good except the head looks funny and I'm aklso not sure if he wore a suit that bright. I remember him in lighter colored suits.
