Yeah seems like you would have to be really careful or you would loose articulation. You apply the superglue with the figure taken apart lol. You don't just start pouring it in the joints! Feeling a bit stupid now lol. I knew not to pour on the super glue from the tube but was thinking of the brush on kind. But hadn't even thought of taking it apart. The figure I was painting didn't require any part switches, so other than taking the head off and the arms off to get to shoulder better I hadn't even thought of taking it apart. |

Ok, just an update on the '98 Taker i'm doing... The cuffs of the gloves and leg detail have been sculpted. Also, i've started on the hair. It Taker's first 'current' mattel scan, however i made the hair fuller on the front by using an RA HHH and sculpey. It may be a bit of time til i finish this as i have just finished my contract with my current work place, and wont be getting any surplus stuff such as paint until i get a new position. *EDIT* just noticed how dark the images are... will try and get some better ones tomorrow    |

hollywoodryanLooks like Legends Terry Funk Torso on an Elite 5 Swagger body with the designs acetoned off and the arms, head, calves and boots look to be from the Wrestlemania heritage Perfect.

I wanted larger forearms and thicker wrist tape on my Legends 1 and RSC Exclusive SCSA's. So I swapped out with some basics that I had laying around.  |

They are tall whites, the shins make them look small Ok, my point was that there needs to be less/no shin showing as every iteration of Luger from WWF had boots going straight upto the kneepad.    |

Maybe painting the shins white like macho man figures would fix that problem ....

You couldn't just use macho man calves? How much of a height difference is their between Lex and Macho? I honestly have no clue how tall Lex was. |

You couldn't just use macho man calves? How much of a height difference is their between Lex and Macho? I honestly have no clue how tall Lex was. Macho man was about 6'2" and Lex was about 6'4". So not that much difference. I like them as is but I don't think using Macho calves would throw it off too much. |
