Custom Discussion & Work in Progress Thread

I'm about to buy a dremel, so I can sand down joints better and hollow out heads.

Do I have to clamp the figure down or you think I should be ok with holding the item that needs to be dremeled in one hand?

I hold the items in my hand firmly and go to work. I've had a few instances where a figure head shot out of my fingers and across the room upon touching the Dremel, but overall it's not a big deal. Unless you're doing some precise sanding (in which case you may be better off using something other than a power tool), you should be just find holding the items in your hands.

What kind of Dremel are you getting? I had a cordless one for several years, and finally upgraded to a corded model with numerous speed settings. The jump in quality was fantastic.

This is the one I use, but it's by Craftsman. I forgot how much I paid at Sears for it, but it was well under $100. Consider paying them a visit before going to Lowes.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend a cordless model if you intend to do customs for the foreseeable future. I got a cheap cordless Dremel at Wal-Mart for under $30 just to get my feet wet in the whole process. It worked well enough for a few years, but was a bit underpowered. I'd only recommend those for someone on a budget, or someone who only does custom work here and there.

In your case, if only $10 separates the 2 models, I'd go with the corded version. In mere seconds, I'm hollowing out heads that would have taken me a couple of minutes (and some elbow grease) to effectively do with my cordless model.

Mondooo!

the shorts are to tight so im gonna get some from ralph

Im lookin to have someone paint face paint and a scorpion on a surfer sting. Ive messaged a few customizers asking about this but none seem to want to do this as they dont respond. Anyone have an idea who would be best to do this or willing to do this for a "fair" price?

It should leave a gap. Taker uses the crotch piece same as HJB and Kozlov. You might be able to swap the legs out though.

HJB is Hillbilly Jim, he uses the same torso as kozlov, but has chest hair.

Another option is Kane. Just has different arms than kozlov's torso.

Besides Sarge, who else has (elite) black tall boots NOT of Taker/Kane size?

So just wondering has anyone done any customizing with the Best of PPV Elite HHH in WM27 gear? I really like the look of this figure, but I bet it would look great after a blackwash technique or something to really bring out the details instead of being all silver.
