Is there a figure out there that would work for a Benoit with just doing a head swap and acetone or painting? I would want it to be close heightwise, but doesnt have to be perfect. Arm swaps wouldn't be a problem either. I'm just not good at torso swapping. Brian pillman. Thanks.

WCW/NWO Scott Steiner. Ryback body and legs Cena Arms TNA Toybiz head Sheamus pipe "Malphs" shirt Full skintone repaint and sealed multiple times with dull sealer. **only quoting pics for a new page** That's really nice. That body really works for Steiner's early nWo days. Might I ask, is that a custom mixed skintone, or an existing color? I've been trying to find one for a Steiner and a Hogan but my local hobby shop's selection is a bit lacking.

Thanks the kind words. It's a mixed skin tone. I use games Vallejo paints. It's bronze skintone, pale flesh, and then a little brown. You can get pretty close to Mattels skin tone fooling around with those 3 colors. Actually, here is exactly what I use: And here is just a comparison of skin tones. Ziggler and Ryback are factory and Steiner is painted fully. And since you are doing a Hogan, here is one I did last year using the same three paints: Good luck.

I'm going to have to find those. Also, great job on both the Hogan and the Steiner. The paint work outside of the skintone is amazing, too.

That Steiner looks great. I was going to do the same thing until I saw how pink the Steiner head was. I just didn't want to repaint the head, because I remember how much of a pain it was to match the R3 Triple H skin tone to Mattel's body.

Thanks! I thought that was you. I went looking through the thread for that Hogan but I fell asleep. You did a street gear Steiner and a Bruno also didn't you? That Steiner looks great. I was going to do the same thing until I saw how pink the Steiner head was. I just didn't want to repaint the head, because I remember how much of a pain it was to match the R3 Triple H skin tone to Mattel's body. I was in the same camp when Ryback was released. Then I saw that Elite 26 Warrior was tan and I thought all I'd have to repaint was the singlet and the Ryback calves to match a RA Steiner head, but they don't match up enough either.

Is there a figure out there that would work for a Benoit with just doing a head swap and acetone or painting? I would want it to be close heightwise, but doesnt have to be perfect. Arm swaps wouldn't be a problem either. I'm just not good at torso swapping. Pillman is a good choice but I used B29 Eddie. Legends Eddie would work if you wanted an elite.

Yeah Eddie height is more accurate for benoit. Is there benoit head which matches the skintone?

Just waiting on finding an R3 head (which I've had zero luck with for months now!) - this singlet looks darker in the pic as it got wet - it's much brighter in reality as it was fresh off a MOC TTL Angle that I bought just for this project (hence running out of funds to buy an R3 Angle for the head). I'd like to use red boots but I don't have any spare currently and don't fancy painting on an otherwise un-painted figure!
