Really digging the tights man. Wish you would have used an actual Benoit head but i'm sure a TTL head will do the trick.

Really digging the tights man. Wish you would have used an actual Benoit head but i'm sure a TTL head will do the trick. the head was more a result of me being lazy and not wanting to go thru all my stuff and trying to find a benoit head. plus im worried the head will bobble like the R3 head I got. Although i think it bobbles cuz since the head was flat at the bottom I had to hollow it out a bit. Any tips on hollowing out the heads with an exacto knife? anyway at least the head is always fixable. the tights r wat took the most time. the designs r actually stickers that i applied a few coats of sealer on. |

Very clean paint job! I was thinking of doing those same designs for my elite Benoit, but with red & white. Slap an actual Benoit head on it and it'll look quite nice! Kudos!  |

im actually in the process of working on an elite benoit right now. im giving him an original attire that i made up. im kind of going for black tights with like claw scratches on the sides. it should be pretty cool. im gonna put an actual benoit head on this one

I really like the detailed design on the tights but the head throws it off fr me.

WOW. great paint job. I would use the R3 head IMO, would make it almost factory level

WOW. great paint job. I would use the R3 head IMO, would make it almost factory level i tried the R3 head but it didnt work out. the head bobbled around so much. it wouldnt stay still. i was considering super gluing it to the peg and making it completely immobile |

Great work on the tights and the figure looks great. As most have already mentioned, the only problem is that the head isn't the best choice, but I understand why you had to go with another option.

The Elite version looks kinda rushed man. Take your time for the white and red design or use a tooth pick for them  |

i tried using a tooth pick at first but for some reason tookpicks never work for me. the paint just stays on the toothpick. but this is pretty much what i had in mind. i didnt want the lines to be too straight cuz its supposed to look torn. its not a problem for me at all to change it but i think im going to keep it this way

Looks pretty cool. What body did you use there for the Elite? I just popped off an R3 head a little while ago... and Im gonna see what I can do with a Brian Pillman body.  |

I used the elite christian. i had it to spare cuz i prefer the basic christian for whatever reason even tho both are great. for the R3 head did u do anything to the inside of the head so that it sits lower on the neck? i kind of hollowed out the inside of mine a little and thats wat makes it bobble. I used an RA head on the Elite Benoit. I actually reconsidered and I'm gonna redo the tights. looking back at the picks it does the designs do look a little sloppy. I'm debating tho whether i should do an original design or just one of his actual designs.

^I haven't modified the head yet. Im gonna hollow it out, and then superglue it on, like I did with the Kurt Angle I made. I will also cut the stem out if the body since it's not needed any more.

the thing with hollowing a ttl head, is that u gotta go in a circle type motion! if u chop everywhere well u better beleive u wasted that head and gotta find another!
