What sort of paint did you use mate? It's called testors acrylic enamel paint..... It is the best, all that apple barrel stuff does not even compare to testors, you almost have to want to mess up to get the paint job sloppy Please try it Make sure not to get just plain enamel paint, Get acrylic enamel

What type of clear coat do you use on mattel figures, i used just basic clear coat that says its good for metal wood wicker and more, but seems to be a little sticky, what is the best type to use???

Did you sculpt the beard and acetone the kickpads? And how exactly did you "thin out the eyes." Nope Kickpads are repaints Beard was not sculpted, but to get that scruffy look i made some hair lines with a blade What i mean by thin out the eyes is, i used pinkish/purple paint for the sleepy eye look to thin them out by raising the lower eye lid to give it that i dont give a crap look instead of the shocked look mattel gave it Hope thats helps

It looks terrible. It's a joke. Nobody here is trying to offend him. Lol i really dont think you understand, this is a proto, which is short for prototype, which means work in progress, which means, not done....give it a chance before you judge it and see if you like the finished one But people will think what they will, most dont understand too, but i used to customize a long time ago and i was pretty good in my day, sometimes i test myself to see if i still got it, and labeled101's punk with the smirk scan and yellow trunks came out so well and worked with a scan that really is good but because of mattels bad blobs of paint it does it no justice, but he truly brought out the best in that scan, i think elite 16-17 whatever it is, has a great scan but mattel just made it bad Lol anything that has no eyebrows looks dumb and like kane, i dont care who you are, you got no eyebrows you look dumb lol, but its coming along pretty good, cymru i actually did pretty much everything you put on your list already (kinda crazy) but i got the hair done, ill post some updated ones soon :-)

Agreed, I have seen some repaints if this scan and it is amazing looking, so I figured let's give this scan some justice, any Suggestions on what kind of facial hair it should have?

ok, so it jumped from this to this........ i think it came out great, and truly shows the best of this scan, i am proud of the out come, but im sure you guys have a bunch to say about it, so please negitave or positave please let me know, it just goes to show you what some time can do with a great scan, a+ mattel all that was used was a normal nail filer and 400 grit sand paper for the have and beard all that was done was... sanded hair sanded beard re did eyebrows re did hair thinned out the eyes (they were way to wide open re did beard created sleepy eyes (small pink/purple lids re did beard let me know if you guys want better pics??

Not sure how many have seen cena in person, but He really does have donkey king arms lol, but really I think it fits him better then those skinny ones, cenas arms got to be around 22-23

Switched out lower arms for basic 25 Brock lesner lower arms, cena arms are huge and I think it looks 100 times better, give me your thoughts Working on a flashback Brock lesner, looking for legs that will fit, I know demolition and Hacksaw will fit, but any others?
