Did a little work today.  Brodus Clay's singlet is not as bright as would have liked, but unless you're working with white fabric, it's hard to get really bright colors. Maybe Brodus went to Harvard... I may still do more work on his boots and torso tattoos, but I want to make sure he remains playable.  CM Punk is a swap I've wanted to do for some time, but I didn't buy the All Star 2-pack the first go around. I snapped up a set as soon as I saw them last week. Love that Brodus. If he didn't have such cool tat work I'd try to do the same. If I can find another one I'm thinking of giving him a Von Erich hand and another open hand so he can be doing the terradactal claws. |

I grew tired of waiting for Hitman to hit stores, so I used The Rock's RTWM legs.  |

I got some new updates. First let's start with the completed fixups. Cody Rhodes: I gave the Elite 13 Cody a Drew McIntyre torso and the Battle Pack head. I wanted to give him smaller legs but I'm not good at cracking the hip joints.  Next is Drew McIntyre. Since I now had him with no torso, I wanted to see how he would look with a Steve Austin torso. When Drew was first announced for Elite 8, I said this was the torso he should have had. I think it looks a lot better.  Now for the WIP stuff. New Age Outlaws. Roaddogg is an Elite 3 Miz with a BG James head, and William Regal arms (need to find better arms). I have a shirt coming from Ralph and I need to paint his pants. Billy Gunn is a Texas Tornado body with two of his yellow kneepads, and Rick Martel arms. The head is the TNA Kip James head. This was the singles figure, not the James Gang 2 pack. The 2 pack doesn't have a ball joint head. I still need to hollow the head out a bit more so it will fit on. I don't own a dremel so I have to hollow it out with a drill bit. I also still have to paint the shorts on.  Mr. Perfect. I finally got sick of the Legends 3 Mr. Perfect with defective legs. They suffered from that problem where you couldn't have him sit. This is a Bushwhacker torso on a Jack Swagger lower body. I still have to paint it. What color should I make the back design?  Carlito. I wanted to do something a little different than what others have done so I used the Elite 9 MVP design instead of making it blue, and I used Terry Funk boots instead of Paul Orndorff. What calves could I use to make him shorter?  |

Maccguy88 - Cody & Drew look great. But the Bushwacker's torso is wrong for Mr Perfect. He wore a high cut singlet top where the Bushwacker's is more of a Hit Man/Steiner Brother's low cut singlet top.

The only problem will be painting the trim on the straps. I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll leave this torso. |

If you're wanting a black trim, then just use some goof off on the trim?

Steady Hands , Use a toothpick, hold it sideways and glide it along the trim

Why does the rock pants mold leave a gap? It has a regular torso on it so why do other torsos leave a gap?
