These are all very nice customs. All look factory imo, only a few other people here can paint like that.
My only question is, why did RVD have a much darker blue singlet than the ref pic?

Goldberg V2.0
Got a Goldberg head and decided to take another crack at him. I still like the first one I made from a Batista body but felt that was too ripped and tall for Goldberg in his WCW years. Don't get me wrong, Goldberg was a mountain of muscle but he wasn't defined like Batista in those earlier days. Used a SCSA torso, lower legs, boots, crotch. Volkof hips, thighs, I forget the arms, and Undertaker wrist bracers/hands. Jakks head from a RA styled body. Full paint job from head to toe, custom mixed skin tone Tat added and tried to give him a factory finish.
Here's the reference pic I was going by for those that may say he isn't ripped enough
Finished pics
Scale Comparison shot with Stone Cold (just a little taller as he should be)

They all look great. What kind of paint do you use? That is super smooth.

Amazing customs, great paint jobs. I'm not liking the Benoit face though. What paint do you use for skin tones and varnish?

This may just be me but I think we need to stop referring to Benoits last days every time he's mentioned, either dont talk about the incident or just dont talk about him at all like WWE does

I would recommend using some bigger biceps, his arms are way too skinny, Benoit was really buff.

Thanks so very much y'all. If I can get a different Benoit head and find my extra set of ripped arms, I'm definitely going to correct him. Thanks for pointing out and kind of affirming what I was thinking.
As for the paints/sealer I use. I use a custom mix of Citadel Games Workshop/Vallejo acrylic paints. The Citadel leaves a really smooth finish without evidence of brush strokes. The Vallejo helps to thin it down some and I use distilled water to thin it some more. So that the conisistency is that of milk. just multiple very thin coats. afterwards I seal it with Testors Dullcote and the finishing touch is drybrushing some Future on it to give it a semi-factory finish. I hope that answers any questions, if not by all means ask away or PM me and thank you all once again
