Sorry for the bad pic thought I'd share my NWA Lex Luger and W.I.P of Rugged Ronnie Garvin, thanks guys Lex is freaking awesome. I so want to clean off WM6 warrior to make a havoc 90 lex in Orange. I like David Hart Smith for Garvin also. I had to look at him a few times but it definitely works. I went with John Heidenreich head for my Garvin. theaxehennig dremeled the hair down to give him the tight buzzcut hair.

Hey, The heads look great. A piece of advice... When creating the oriinal mold, I'd recommend leaving about 1/8" gap between the top of the head and the top of the mold. I achieve this by using a very thin nail and a 2.5" craft stick. Creating a gap between the molded head and the top of the mold will create perfect heads that don't have all of the excess resin to dremel off.

hey guys, i would like to attempt a mattel IRS, which of the mattel suited figures have white shirts, red ties, or black pants. thanks You're gonna be waiting for the new HHH/Bryan Battle Pack to come out if you want a red tie and a white shirt. Ricardo has a white shirt but obviously a very different tie mold. And you'd need taller legs than what he has. Your best bet really is just waiting for HHH to come out...

@theoneandonly1979 between JBL's love handles and Big Daddy V's multi layered side boob I can see you have a real knack for creating the right amount of unsightly yet incredibly accurate flab. Gorgeous, gorgeous flab.
Awesome work bud.

thanks for the input guys, i suck at cracking torsos so i need to take your info and come up with the most painless way of doing this Apoc's Guide to Torso Cracking;The Key to Cracking a torso successfully without damage is Hot Water. Hellsinkraiser has an excellent tutorial on here that taught me how to Crack Torso's but it wasn't until I started using Hot Water that I started getting flawless cracks. This is Simple, First, Get a Large coffee mug or container that u can soak the Torso in and Heat Water in the Microwave for 3-4 minutes. Generally you know its ready if u open the door and the water is boiling slightly. Now soak your figures torso In the cup for 6-8 minutes. Sometimes you will get lucky and the glue will melt with the heat and it will pry apart with no resistance. There are some figures that have been glued better then others, Usually you can melt the glue with the hot water if you soak it in hot enough water for a long enough time. Place a flathead between the shoulder socket and the back of the torso and pry gently, try both sides, if it doesn't work right away or you notice any stretch marks forming, re-heat water, re-soak figure and try again, it is important that you crack the torso when you take it out of the water, if you wait it will cool off and you will need to reheat. When you crack the torso you may need to cut the seams of the neckline or any other seams, refer to hellsinkraisers tutorial. If the torso just will not crack no matter how long it's sat in hot water then carefully cut the seams of the neck, shoulders and ribs then re soak in very hot water and wait another 5-6 minutes and try to crack the figure again. just remember anytime you crack a torso, use hot water and patience and you'll have a seamless custom For abs or trunks or whatever part your trying to take apart, refer to hellsinkraisers tutorial in the customs board, but no matter which piece it is, its much easier after soaking it first. I Use an Exacto Knife (Utility Knife) to cut through the pegs of the abdomen and Trunks. I found Stanley makes good knives that are very durable. Dont use a little craft knife, You'll need something strong to do this multiple times. Have Patience and Keep reheating and this should be no problem. ---------------------------- TRUNKS
First Heat them up in hot water, Have an Exacto Blade ready
1: Cut through the Peg Outside the trunks that fits in the Abdomonen, cut it in half at the seam. Don't cut it off, you'll need this to re-connect the figure. Only cut it in half at the Seam.
2: Cut through the small pegs on the side, cut through the seam carefully on both sides till you cut through the peg
3. Stick the blade into the middle of the trunks through the top (where you split the abdomen peg in step 1) , Rock the blade back and forth carefully till you cut through the Middle Peg. Its larger than the others and will take more cutting, but if its been heated up then it should be no problem. feel free to reheat before this step.
4. The trunks are apart. the bottom peg should just pull out with no cutting. Carve off any plastic that will prevent a seamless connection later and dry fit before you glue just so you can make sure its seamless.---------------------------- Fixing stress marksOnce in a while or quite often depending on your skill level of cracking, you will get a stress mark on the torso. The easiest way to fix this is to hold a regular bic lighter below the stress mark. The heat from the flame will quickly make the stress mark disappear. Make sure you hold the flame a good 6" below the figure as you don't want it to be too close or it will leave burn marks and melt the plastic. If you do it right, this process takes around 30 seconds.
