Custom Elite Shelton Benjamin

Since the release of Shelton I knew I had to make my own custom of him, I'm posting progression photos so no one can claim its a fix up of any kind(like I even know how it could be a fix up)

So I bought the basic Shelton so I can use his head, arms, kickpads and the rest as a reference for the details on the gear and tattoo.

I bought an Elite Ted DiBiase figure because he was the closet to body shape and height as Shelton and was very plain so I can do what I needed.

As you will see in the photos I had to repaint the body and the paint I used was a different shade of brown so I still had to repaint the arms and head a bit I'm just glad I had the color that worked.

A couple goofy photos will show I had to cut off his legs off the basic to keep his kickpads cuz I DID NOT wanna do the detail of those laces on his pads.

I had to use apoxy sculpt to add that lil touch of there being the biker shorts and I KNOW I KNOW the paint job on the shorts are NOT perfect, I hate it and wish i could ahve done better but the gold paint was a pain in my ass but i tried so i dont need to hear you guys telling me its sloppy cuz I KNOW it is.

SO...... ENJOY
