First, sorry for the new thread. The old one was locked and I haven't been on as much. Now, here's the side project I've been working on lately....  I got the idea from a message board conversation about Jeff's new TNA title looking like the UW's logo and I started thinking about mixing the Ultimate Warrior and Jeff Hardy together. It was started as a way to piss off the UW fans that think Jeff has stolen anything from his gimmick, but as I put more work into it, I realized it was just a cool tribute concept. I used some spare parts that I had lying around. The head is an old Jeff head. Maybe TTL era. I went with the massive upperbody since UW was huge. The jacket doesn't come off since the torso had a big chunk taken out. The tassles came from several of Rikishi's belts. Well, folks, let me know what you think! Take care  |

This is unique and I like it! This should be a custom battle stipulation; fuse two wrestlers into one. Painting looks pretty nice. I wish the torso was a CW one, but other than that I dig it. Nice job dude

Really cool figure as it's an original piece and it turned out great!
UW as in University of Washington? If so, I live near by as I reside in Seattle. None the less, that figure is very clean.

Look in the custom competition thread dude. Man, I really appreciate the vote of confidence, but I'm really hit or miss right now with my work schedule. Maybe one of these days I'll jump in as I really love what I've seen from competitions in the past. Nevertheless, this board is one of the reasons I take more time with my customs so that I can present a work that I'm proud of and even though I've got a crap schedule you can expect more crazy customs from me. I'm actually working on another wrestler fusion idea at the moment which I hope'll turn out even better than the Jeff Hardy/UW. Thanks guys! |

I was lucky enough to put aside a little tax return money to get my hands on some old figures from the trade board. I've got a few more customs in the works and here's the first one I finished. Vega has always been my favorite Street Fighter character. Perhaps it is the claw, the mask, or maybe the fact that he too is an a$$hole. The head, arms, torso, and upper legs are a Chris Jericho. The lower legs are modded Brian Kendrick and the glove is sculpted and the claw is merely hair pins. The gold band on the upper left arm is sculpted as well.  The shoes aren't exactly like Vega's but BK's worked for what I'm doing. There are a few spots on the hair that need touched up. One leg got dremeled a tad shorter than the other, but it shouldn't be a big deal considering Raven supposedly has the same issue. Hope you guys like it! |

Pretty clean my man. I really like the purple used for his tights & as a HUGE Street Fighter fan, this figure is for sure that much greater. You did a really great job!

Thanks! Man, that purple is one of my favorite metallic colors. The yellowish gold stripes are also metallic. I might do a Vega variant soon also! Wondering if I should put 'em up on eBay tho? Think anyone would buy 'em?

Possibly, but I think the SOTA Vega figure is what more people might seek. I just sold one today for $58, but it's worth a shot as people really love custom figures.

WOW! Great job, but it is kind of annoying that he leans one way. Ryu is my favorite fighter, HADOUKEN!! But i like Vega as well. I would buy a Vega if you make another, but i have $0 at the moment.  I'll have money in a couple of weeks, if you name a price i would buy it. |

is vega's mask removeable? Nah. I thought about doing it that way since it wouldn't be too hard at all, but I just felt like the mask was such a big part of his character that I'd make it stay on. If I do make a second Vega, there's a chance he'll either be battle damaged like from the loss screen or at least without a permanent mask. We'll see! |

It has been awhile since I've worked on any figures, but I've had a couple that I really wanted to do and so I went ahead and pushed 'em out. First off is one of my favorite Mortal Kombat girls Kitana. Her outfit was inspired by all of her different outfits. I decided not to bother with making her weapons and just focusing on the figure itself. The head is from a Victoria fig, but I can't recall the body at the moment.       And here's a WIP of Saturday Night Slam Masters/Muscle Bomber bad ass, The Scorpion!!!   The head is from Tinieblas and the rest is from Sabu. The belt came from the Lord of Darkness Undertaker figure's cape. Well, I hope you guys dig cuz they could very well be the last customs I do for awhile as I'm finding myself more interested in another side project. If you're a bored and you harbor an inner-nerd who likes old Sega, arcade, or SNES games, check out kingdomd.tumblr.com/BTW I know the figs need to be cleaned up a bit, but unless anyone is interested in buying them, it'll have to wait. |

Scorpion is bad ass. I'm intending to make the characters from Slam Masters eventually, so it's great to see that someone else made a character.

It's been a long while since I've been on this board with any customs or WIPs, but I recently got into the art of making molds and casting replicas. Expensive... but so theraputic First up is Scorpion or Astro from the Saturday Night Slam Masters / Muscle Bomber series. This custom is based off of Scorp from the Loss Screen  This is Storm from the Streets of Rage series. He's a generic sprite with multiple variants and names, but this is the one that I most enjoyed punching in the face.  |
