Why does the rock pants mold leave a gap? It has a regular torso on it so why do other torsos leave a gap? Probably because the Cole figure is built to snap together and pop apart. The Rock figure is built not to come apart so the stems on the crotchpiece are probably shaped differently with the Rock's having a larger stem that won't just snap into the Cole torso. |

If you're wanting a black trim, then just use some goof off on the trim? Would the trim be black or flesh tone if I use goof off? I would assume black, but I don't have the figure so not 100% sure. |

I understand about the Cole torso but i was asking more in regards to the Taker torso as I am hoping to make an ABA taker fix up. |

Where do you get your decal paper? Do they sell it at hobby stores? |

Is McIntye the only elite with white trunks?
I just made a Hogan using the Macho Man boots and Von Erich body, but the boots are wider than the calves. Are there calves I can swap out that will mesh better and have a similar skin tone?

Had to let head soak for a bit, then stretched out the hole with small pliers. Mattel peg is much bigger than marvel peg. Once on, its perfect. If you go to customs, look at my Mattel elite Samoa joe for an example. |

I'm pretty sure Ass-a-tone doesn't remove paint, it just makes the room smellier and louder- especially if brought upon by eating beans , beans the magical fruit...
Acetone however, works well on soft plastic not so much on hard bodies- it can damage the torso plastic.

It's impossible to bust the Iron Shiek's torso apart cleanly. Why are some torso harder than others?

Finally, a PROPER pic of my recent fix-ups (haha). Here is Bobby Roode, Kane, and Cena. I might ebay Kane and Cena cause they were both just made from spare parts. Roode is something I had wanted to do for a while, and when I ended up with two HHHs thanks to the BOPPV set, I decided to finally do it.  |

Some much needed manager WIPs  Jimmy isn't close to finished, lots of painting to do, harts all over coat & pants, attach head (it's only resting on neck) attach hands, paint shoes, etc. He'll get some shades then once he's ready. Finally a Jimmy that doesn't tower over his men!! Elizabeth might get her sequins painted white. MIGHT. I'm lazy, we'll see. The Doctor of Style needs a Miz fedora, or Rocky (boxer) fedora and sunglasses, and a cane to finish him off. The DCUC body is a place holder until I get my mitts on a Mr. McMahon or Michael Cole body. I like the slimness of him, but he's a bit too short.  My favorite random Royal Rumble winner:  This guy's a fricking monster! He's taller than Andre! How can I get him a hair shorter than Andre?!?  |
