The new customslook Okay!
The Steamboat tone doesn't match, unfortunately.
And the Simba head looks kinda funny on top, looks very big.
Please, don't thik I'm trying to be rude, I'm just trying to help out a fellow customizer!
Keep up the good work, XWF ;D

lugers hair style is good bro but like you saild to blonde..heres a trick i use..i first put a coat of blonde like you got there..then i do a very very thin layey of terra cotta brown... start at a central point like in the middle of his hair live then brush it out as far as it goes..when it begins to thin to much just repeat... it helps with blonde guys who sort of have shadings to there blonde.  |

You do some good stuff man, but you got to start thinking about full repaints. The sanding marks are hard to get to go away without paint. A few things that have worked for me before are a lighter, or some nail polish remover, or some satin sealer.
I recommend the sating sealer for everything you paint, too. It should help blend it in and look more factory. Not so dull.
Also, when you sculpt hair, don't be afraid to get closer to the skin when you paint it. If it get on there, scrap it off with a toothpick before it completely dries. It will be worth it and you won't see the clay underneath.
The only reason I want to share this with you is because you share alot of promise. Keep up the good work.

Here is a custom figure of one of my favorite 80's heels, I'm really thrilled with how it came out. "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin.   Up next is oner of the greatest legends in AWA history. Nick Bockwinkle  I posted this figure a while ago, but it was not completed, I've since added tight design, and a custom AWA World Title. "Cool" Curt Hennig    I did this figure a few months ago, but never got around to posting it, I plan on doing it over, since I am now confident enough to sand heads down. Vern Gagne  Here is a guy that I had to have in my collection. Ole Anderson  |

I caught a lot of flack over the hair on my Lex Luger figure, so here is an updated version of my 80's era Lex Luger with a custom NWA United States Title.   |

For the figures that you sanded on, get some brush on super glue and brush that onto the skin that is discolored. It will bring the original color back. Especially on stuff like Atlas and Khan.

This Zbyszko figure is not yet completed, but I wanted to post it anyway, I just have to fit the hair on a little better. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko with custom NWA Western States Heritage belt.  Bobo Brazil with custom NWA United States Championship.  White Ninja aka Great Muta.   Killer Khan  I decided to use different torso for my Killer Khan, I like this one better. |
