Here it is a better pic of my little work: Just to take a comparison of the height, the "red one" is an HBJ body with Duggan calves and Bulldog boots, the black one is Barrett body with bulldog calves and Rude boots. Let me know what you think. In my opinion they both look good. I still can't decide about the kneepads, i saw a lot of people using small kneepads but Hall used to wear long pair. Please help me make a decision. I painted the black and white pair. Those look great tarver. After looking at them side-by-side, I definitely like the thighs of the Barrett Body better than those of Hillbilly Jim, but I like the look of the smaller kneepads. I think the Orton style kneepads are great for Hall. The sleeve ones just take up too much leg for him and make his legs look odd. Both are great efforts, and different takes on Hall. Quality work.

Is there a big difference between the Duggan calves and the bulldog calves? No, I used them just because I had them. They are the same size Thanks! Ive been using the wade barret body, but I can't stand not having Scott Hall without chest hair!

If you're able to split the torso, you can try with Arn Anderson Torso with barrett legs and arms, i think it could be really good.

The Hall's look very good especially the one Kingdom made with HBJ bodied one, but I don't really like the tall boots for Hall. Because while they seem correct Hall's boots really weren't tall. His knee pads were large and the boot tongues were very long giving the impression that they were tall boots, but the boots were cut at mid-calves in back. This is by far the best Hall I've seen here with the HBJ body because it looks like Kingdom gave him smaller arms as well...so he's not as big as Nash The following announcement has been paid for by the new..World..order My Hall I Just finished up

That nWo looks great. What's the best/easiest recipe to use for an nWo Hogan? I've heard about using an Elite Kane body, but I want the scale to be accurate.
Also, I had previously used a HBJ body for my 80s Hogan, but I may have to pick up another one to use for a Hall, too.

Thats something I hadnt noticed before. Makes a big difference. This Hall discussion is great. Really getting some great ideas hammered out for a lot of people it seems. This is the type of stuff that makes this thread such a valuable asset to the board. Great turnaround from earlier this week.

I think that the kneepads in reality are "in the middle", between the long pair and the small pair. In short, he wears a size of kneepads that Mattel hasn't produced yet.

I think this is exactly the point PJ was making... If you look at the back of the boots, they are cut just at the calf, but the front sits up a little bit higher giving the illusion of length. I think his boots are definitely somewhere in between. Like you said its the same deal with the kneepads. While the shape of the Orton style one fits the bill for Hall, his are longer, and with the sleeve underneath, even moreso. Its all a matter of personal preference. I am discovering that to be the case for both Hogan and Hall, different people like different things with regard to the part choice. Its all preference. Perhaps we have found a use for the Rock boots? Is it possible that those could be modified slightly to better match Hall's boot style?

Rock boots without the "back lace" could be perfect for Hall! In this case you can have taller calves to use.

Either hearts need to be bigger or more of them. Something seems off. But the hearts look clean other than seeming small.

all that's left for me to do is screw up the head somehow when it arrives and I attempt to do my first major paint job...
