 This was was pretty easy just an RA A-Train head on a legends Hillbilly Jim body, added knee pads.     Okay this was orgnially supposed to be a sin cara negro, but after realizing that I had no means to make the mask, I decided to take an orginal approach, the head is an ra Ultimo Dragon that I used for an older RA custom so this back more of a transfer custom. i used a tyson kidd body and painted over, this was one of my first full body paint jobs hence the sloppiness.   Standard Ric Flair custom used a Legend Pipers body painted the boots, acetoned the socks off aswell as the wrist tapes.    This is one of my faveriot customs. I was lucky enough to find a CS 2 Pack of Flar and Windham at TRU a few months back and even more lucky to get it for the sweet price of 6$ With that my Flair and Barry Windham customs were born. I used All Stars Steven Austin body, black electric tape for the gloves, I used Nikali Volkof claves and boots which gave him a nice boost in height so he's in scale. I thought of using the Dusty Rhodes boots but they were just too big. So I used electric tape around the boots to give it the cowboy boots look and painted over it.  Lastly is my Great Muta. i actually ordered this off of a member on here for 10 bucks, however there was lot of details missing and the facepaint was poorly done. From what I saw the parts used was DM shawn micheals and DM steamboat head. I repainted the face added the proper details to it, sanded off HBK's tattoo, added the black wrist tape and the finger tape as well as painting over chipped paint on the paints. Hope to hear sme pf your thoughts and if you guys could give me advice painiting smoother I would greatly apperciate it. |

Well considering A-Train is nothing more than a fix up for playable purposes. It looks good for a fix up and the rest well I suggest you slow down and take your time with painting the small details on the figures.

I agree with everything else other then the A-Train statement, I think you could have used a bulkier replacement for A-Train because it looks way to skinny and his head is a bit small. |

I can't paint at all so i understand how hard it is. i think you did an ok job, i like the muta. Practice makes perfect and all that... you'll only get better.
On a side note i think a slightly bulkier torso for Albert would have made him that much better, perhaps a big show body on the Hillbilly Jim lower, just a thought. Good work though.
