Nothing special just a late 1980s Lex Luger to go with or against The Four Horsemen.
Recipe: Tights & kneepads: Roddy Piper Forearms: Randy Savage Everything else: Lex Luger
reminded me of this I did intend to do it based on that as I always loved that figure as a child but in the end I decided on the blue kneepads to resemble what he wore at Chi-Town Rumble against Barry Windham.

Nothing revolutionary here, but I had to fix up my two latest acquisitions. First up was big Barry Windham. Mattel made a good effort but "the widow-maker" gimmick was never a Horseman gimmick so I had to acetone off the beard as best I could. Because he's the master of the claw, both of Kane's hands came in "handy" for the big gloved-look and the mitts for hands he had. Barry was also a legit 6'6" dude and he wasn't as cut as Wade Barrett's torso would suggest, the best option was a SCSA torso for those broad shoulders and less refined abs. That's just my personal opinion: Then we have Tito Santana. Like Barry, I doubt we'll ever get another Tito and I was a fan of both his singles and tag team careers so I had to make him as versatile as I could for my collection. Fortunately the torso crack was absolutely clean and perfect so I can freely switch his legs/arms around depending on my mood:

Would you mind sharing info on the Steamboats you made? I want to make an NWA one with the DM head.

Not sure it would make difference, I sanded it slightly and made another one. The one in middle is original I call it 3 stages of hogan Good effort.. the body is good but the legs looks small in the photos. and i think the head could sit a little lower. The one with the dm abs is not so bad scale/size wise. Can you try put on a bulldog body? It would better suit the hof lowers.

Barry looks great. Would you mind sharing info on the Steamboats you made? I want to make an NWA one with the DM head. Sure, my elite Steamboat was an amalgamation of a number of parts: L1 Steamboat head DM Steamboat torso and arms Waist/white tights: Kerry Von Erich, but now we have so many more options with Santana and Bo Dallas Thighs: JYD Knees2Boots: Basic heritage Steamboat. So he doesn't have double-jointed knees but that's a small sacrifice for an NWA Champ or WMIII I-C Champ look.

Now I need to figure out how to crack torsos! Lol

Can someone PLEASE make a Maven or Eugene elite or basic PLZ This isn't a request thread. We just share our work and tips for fix-ups and customs. If you're looking to commission a custom figure you should private message someone who's work you enjoy. I doubt anyone is going to drop what they're doing solely because someone wants to see what a basic Maven custom would look like.

I saw E35 Harper on a Target shelf today. First time I saw it up close. All I could think of was...."If it weren't for the height difference and the lack of an appropriate head that would make a great base for A SKINNER CUSTOM!!!"
Now the wheels in my brain are turning...
