What's the most accurate way to build a Goldberg figure? I found this custom head...I think it's painted to match Mattel. Does anyone make decals? The only thing I'm struggling to think is how to match his low cut boots but make sure he's still tall. Lot of people use Hillbilly Jim as a base, with Stone Cold calves and boots.

When I get the figure I plan on painting a dark brown base coat and then dry brushing the blond. I would do that. For something like that I would use the $5 multi pack set of brushes at Wal-Mart and any acrylic paint and then finish it off with a matte sealer.

Quick question for those who have made a Kurt Angle using the WrestleMania 26 Jack Swagger. What arms and lower legs did you use to make him?

It looks really good, but I'm not sure which calves to use with those.

My thoughts on this: I made a goldberg custom recently. Having considered between steve austin calves and bruno sammartino calves, i chose bruno because of the thickness and muscular toning. Steve austin calves appeared too thin and small when combined with hillbilly jim's thigh section which makes him appeared like chicken legs. The height was right too. It ended up around DDP's height which I think was alright.

It looks really good, but I'm not sure which calves to use with those. I used Sin Cara knees, but knees from The Rockers, or Ricky Steamboat or HBK would work too. I used Paul Orndorff calves but Tully Blanchard calves might work well too. The red boots I used were from George "The Animal" Steele, but Alberto Del Rio's red boots would also work. For the arms I think I used Cesaro's arms.

Looks good, but for those who are doin it i have a (neck) Flair and you will have to dremel it down some to make it fit better. this is pre-dremel.
