 Rugged Rod Price The California Studd (not completed)  Zan Panzer 2.0 (fantasy character)  Daniel Bryan  Yuji Nagata  Chief Wahoo McDaniel w/ custom United States Title belt  Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich  Lord Steven Regal  Custom Painted Rey Mysterio to match up with an autographed mask my girlfriend got me. It will go in a shadow box with the mask and all.    Sheamus  Low Ki/Senshi/Kaval  Scott Flash Norton  Rugged Ronnie Garvin  Ron The Truth Killings  Sheamus w/ Cross & Painted Spinner Belt  Assassin Jody Hamilton  Luke Gallows  Mattel La Parka Sr./LA Park  Kenta Kobashi  The Jurassic Powers  Jack Swagger  Inoki Close Up  Ice Train  Kaientai DX with IWGP Custom Tag Belts  Hercules Hernandez  Hart Foundation  Austin Creed  Chessman 2010 (IDK WTF happened with the camera, but the skin tone is not that off)  Bruiser Terkay  Powerhouse Nick Busick  Bam Bam Bigelow with BBB Logo (hardest thing I ever painted)  Antonio Inoki The heads that look like Warsman heads look like that because they are in fact Warsman heads. The Jakks skintone paint looks perfect in person, photographs a little pale. I used 2 parts Artworks Tempera Peach, with one part Americana Mink Tan, and a splash of yellow & english lace to come up with the formula. All the clothes, towels and bs were made by me. Most are sealed with matte finish spray on, but some are sealed with clear nail polish to give a gloss or wet look. Custom belts (not repainted Jakks) were made by scaling in PhotoImpressions and then printing on printable fabric stickers, then sticking to very thin foam rubber, with peel and stick velcro. My figures are in a lot of different varieties as I like for my collection to have different body types, different parts. etc. etc. Just ordered some heads from the Phoenix Headshop, so I'll post those when I get them done. I just make these for fun and have been a long time fan of the site and the work of people on here, figured I'd throw mine out there and see who likes what and why. Thanks for checking them out! |

I beg to differ, XWF. A lot of them are solid ideas but the execution isn't there. Take your time. Water down your paint some. Use tape to tape off lines.
A lot of stuff just doesn't work. Painting the front of Taka's BCA figure doesn't make it a custom. Ice Train was a big dude but he wasn't THAT big.

ICE TRAIN! Holy crap, a wrestler I haven't seen in figure form before! My biggest complaint on most of them is that the bodies don't work, but hey, you had to work with what you have.

Just Wanted to say THANKS to everyone for the cool comments. I really am glad people dig them! I'll take some more pics of LA Park/La Parka and put them up, He's an Elite Mattel and believe it or not, is playable.
Thanks again!

Some very original pieces. Some don't quite work, but I like the effort. My faves are Parka, Inoki, and Busick. I also like Rugged Rod, but he usually had a ponytail...I would have preferred that version. Original, none the less.

Thanks for all the pos comments. I know my stuff ain't the greatest, but I'm glad people appreciate it. Here's some other stuff I've completed and am working on, a couple need some minor things, but for the most part I'm happy with them. Don Frye  Dragon Kid    Toshiaki Kawada  Mitsuharu Misawa Smiling Figure (head based on this photo)   Shinsuke Nakamura  Warlord Hybrid (still need to touch up the silver a bit)  Ice Train (fixed some areas I didn't like)  Goldberg Fixup (really HATED that body for Goldberg)  |
