Looking really good Gonzo! I don't know much about MMA but they are coming along pretty well. Riggs and Joe look awesome so far. Looking forward to the finished product.

Wow! You're going to have TheAxeHennig board up his shop with that spectacular decal work. Daaaammnnn bro.
Wow! A Scotty Riggs. What an original idea. I love it!

It's always pretty difficult for me to comment your customs since most of them are MMA and I am not familiar with them. I really don't know who is who other than Brock  From what I can see, the decal work is really neat. The shirts that Emming provide almost make the figure look like an Exclusive or something. Now Scotty Riggs is something I am looking forward to. I have honestly never seen a Scotty Riggs custom so this is truly going to be exciting. Samoa Joe looks like he is going to come out great. The kick pads look really well sculpted. |

I've only ever seen a couple Riggs figures. Both were part switches with an eye patch sculpted and maybe hair painted. Neither were anything fancy. I'm hoping this one will turn out well.

Riggs looks f***ing fantastic so far. As does Samoa Joe. I can't wait to see them finished.
Fedor is my favorite of the bunch. Very smooth decals and the head looks great. I hate those arms as well as the chest because of how muscular they are but whatever. They look great. good job Mark.

Love the decal work you've been doing lately. I still think the body choice is far too big on Fedor, but the figure does look good all painted up and such. I've been working on a Rogers as well, but haven't found the time to finish his skintone and find good pics of his tattoos.

I will probably only do a couple of his tats. I think he's added some tats recently too, unless some of the pics I found had tats photoshopped over. I'm hoping to have him and Overeem done today, as well as Joe.
Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I know he had some simple tats going into the Fedor fight, but since then he's added more. With his shade of skin, the tattoos are a bit hard to see clearly in most pictures.
Seeing your work makes me wish I could find a cheaper alternative to printing out decals on my own printer. I loved resizing the sponsor logos and applying them to the shorts. Just a shame that it sucked every bit of ink from my printer within just a couple of projects.

I bought some laser jet decal paper, as I was having the same issue with my printer. I will be taking a flash drive up to a print shop and having them print the images on the laser jet paper. Will not cost very much and will be worth it. I'm compiling a ton of decals I want to use to have them print off, probably 2 pages worth.
Joe Added.

Gonzo, it looks like you've changed joes boots and sculpted onto them, can you take a pic of him next to other DA/DI's Thanks for the comments everybody. Thanks Classic, I know you don't normally like my style, heh. Ltd, I don't know if you saw the proto pic posted at the bottom of the pictures, but that's him standing next to a normal DA figure. I don't know if it's just Joe's body style or if the whole TNA line is this way, but he's about a half a head to a full head taller than the normal DA's Same goes with him next to the UFC line. I didn't change a single part on the figure. I sculpted over the boots to make kick pads. I sculpted the knee pads, the end of the legs on the shorts, and used tape to make his elbow and wrist tapes stand out more. |

Joe looks incredible Gonz!
I knew I was in for something when we saw protos!
The boots, sculpting and painting just looks fantastic! Glad you went with a different color instead of the typical blue/black - brown/black.
Top notch work right here Gonz. Nice and clean.
