Wrong place to ask, but what paint do you recommend? I use both Testors Model Master Acryl and Vallejo Model Color with Testors Model Master lusterless (flat) lacquer overcoat to seal. This combo seems to work really well. I've had the suggestion to use fingernail polish top coat for sealer paint on/near joints, however I haven't tested it out myself yet.

No paint on the black pants, I want to play with him and the buckwacker legs are black under the camo, so I used black mysterio legs too. I would like to have a different color, but for a 100% play figure, I'll settle with black. Got ya. Well, I understand that choice then. You should see my last post and maybe try that combo to paint the pants a different color.

Any tips on Mattel APA? Whats the best Torso for Farooq? I know he wasn't a huge guy like Big Zeke. And Kofi's pretty muscular himself.

Found a E24 Rey today (first time I've seen E24 at retail as I ordered the three that I wanted from Smyths website to save petrol) so decided to pick it up for two fix-ups... Tajiri needs to be a little taller I think (possibly a knee joint swap with something bigger). Dreamer also needs to be slightly taller (may try different lower legs) Some height was gowned simply by swapping the head peg (Mattel use a really short peg for Mysterio which makes the head sit so low) and I put a bit of cotton wool inside Dreamer's head to help a bit. SCSA I've posted before but I had the figure out as I had a request for a pic of it...

I painted the arms of my Jeff Hardy and the hair too. Is it right to post them here? Surely painting something makes it a custom?

Love those. Im also working on a set of Dudleys as well, although not as much effort put into them as yours, we always seem to be on the same page with these things. I like the red camo. Any tips on Mattel APA? Whats the best Torso for Farooq? I know he wasn't a huge guy like Big Zeke. And Kofi's pretty muscular himself. I used Rock torso and Austin torso on my last APA set... which were quite simple in jeans and gloves. The older Rock toros works well for Faarooq and I think the skintone works better than the darker Kofi/Shad one. Found a E24 Rey today (first time I've seen E24 at retail as I ordered the three that I wanted from Smyths website to save petrol) so decided to pick it up for two fix-ups... Tajiri needs to be a little taller I think (possibly a knee joint swap with something bigger). Dreamer also needs to be slightly taller (may try different lower legs) Some height was gowned simply by swapping the head peg (Mattel use a really short peg for Mysterio which makes the head sit so low) and I put a bit of cotton wool inside Dreamer's head to help a bit. That Rey is such a fun figure isnt it? I have a bunch of them already. The black pants are great and I realyl like the new shirt torso. Even if both are on the short side, they open a lot of new options up for us. I'll be posting a couple things using those parts here sometime soon. I really like the torso for Dreamer. It looks great bud.

Thank you Ruff Figures. I'm going to have a spare Rock torso soon. Do you not recommend the JBL Torso?

What do you recommend for tights? if i could add to the conversation, you would need the thicker leg tights mould, if your willing to paint you could use dm/e23 macho mans tights, or if your willing to throw money you could use e1 edge and change the lower legs for short calves and long boots, or if your crazy you could use the road warriors legs again switching the boots hope this can help you

So, E23 Macho Man Tights with Rock/Austin Torso? Is nothing else like E1 Edge?
