Thought I'd share a few heads I'm working on: Good heads gone bad...for somereason, these didn't 'shrink' to size evenly, resulting in the bulging bloated right cheeks. Back to the drawing board for them! A couple of Romealmighty's head projects Macho Man sunglasses! I'm going to experiment with these...I might cut them like Koko's sunglasses and tie stretch cord so they can be worn. Or I might have to trim them to fit Mach's hair and apply them with sticky tack so they can go on and off. Class photo! heads from L to R: Steamboat, Ronald Reagan, Hayabusa, (front) Rikishi, (back) Buddy Rose, Kabuki, (back) 2 Cold Scorpio, (front) Dick Wohrlie, Terry Funk (missing half his head), Macho Man, and Tiger Mask. The green heads on the left are Mil Mascaras and th e Destroyer. I have about 3x this many molds made of other heads to finish! Lots to do... Wars

excellent! when will I be able to buy some of these. I'm working on fixing defects (air bubble holes, sanding, etc.) and then recasting them this week. I also dropped a new batch of things intol my pressure pot last night, so they should be ready tonight. Then I have to grow them up. I know Mean Gene's head and the Hasbro Macho King crown was in there. We'll see how they turned out. As for how soon you can buy them, hopefully SOON! It'll be "the Warsman alimony and child support custom head sale!"Wars

Hi Wars, I was just wondering were you still going to or have you already made an Onita head? Plus the guy next to killer khan is that the great kabuki? And does the head go down any further on his neck? Also is that an enlarged funaki head under bam bam!!! ;D Also I wanted to pre order some unpainted heads, are you taking money now? OMG I'm so excited I just wet my pants!!!!!! ;D ;D

As was said in your original post showing of these projects you will have quite a bit of a side business of this. I too cannot wait for when you get this organized, Keep it up.

Onita is one I plan on doing. I have his head, it's on the list.

Loving the Mil, Destroyer, Scorpio, Terry Funk, & Great Kabuki. The Tanaka should look good when you figure it out. Can't wait to see how the Hasbro Macho crown turns out. I'm glad you got a new thread for this, i didn't like seeing the old one locked.

Speaking of updates, I should have one tonight! Wars

Elizabeth shrunk. One thing I want to try next when shrinking is to hollow out the heads and cast them hollow with Hydroshrink. This *might* result in a more even shrink, as the h2o is 'trapped' in the center of the head and doesn't release as easy/quickly as the water near the surface, causing the facial features to reduce faster than the center, causing a rounding of the face. I like the result for Elizabeth, her face looks better as a result of this than the guys below. I'm happy with the SD Jones, his neck area is uneven, so he isn't sitting evenly on my desk. That's why he's protruding on one side. Kirschner and Funk kinda have the rounding thing I wrote about above. We'll see how it looks painted. Dino Bravo (note the CSDA BIG arms!) wip and 2 NWA Sting wips A couple of experimental suits. They are different, and I'd like some input. The suit on the left is made or a thinner material and displays colors VERY well (note the gray shading in the eye area) the suit on the right is made of a thicker spandex-like material, VERY durable, but looks a little grainy (at least in pics). I prefer the thicker stuff for wrestling customs, what say you? I'm experiumenting with one of my Macho heads. It's had to see from the blurry pic, but one main concern was the face's overall thinness. I took a blob of molding putty, put it on my desk and 'rolled' the Macho Man head acrossed it slowly. I left it to harden and made a cast of the new face mold. Once I attach it to a head, we'll see how this one looks. My 2nd Nick Bockwinkel! My first Nick wasn't painted all that well, and I recently painted one for Mo4Sho that I wanted to keep (lol-I didn't!) so I made a new Nick head for this figure. I also saw someone post a great tutorial on beltmaking and decided to give it a go! He *needs* an AWA title! And I know it isn't a perfect replica, but it has many of the same features as the early 80's AWA belt, is on leather, and I had fun making it. My new Ricky Steamboat cast!

I'm about 50/50 on the La Parka outfit, the thinner material black parts looks much better but you can Hassans skin color through it to. The Steamboat head looks really good too, i'm sure you'll sell alot of them. I really want that AWA belt too, but like 10 of them lol. The LJN heads are a lil iffy, gonna have to see what they look like painted.

What do you use to sculpt the heads? I have always wanted to do that, but I don't know what to use.

Wars thats awesome CWA needs Liger and Tiger Mask as a tag team to keep up with Dynamite and Steamboat Liger's head turned out nicely. had to touch it up a bit (so many little doo-hickeys on his mask) and now I need to recast it. I also cast a sized Dick Murdoch tonight...not that anyone wants him. His curse is broken! Now if I can break the Nailz curse! Wars P.S. Oh yeah, the heads and suits are now in my new shop! PM me for access...
