Hey everyone been far to long but now heres a small taste of some of my more recent works
first in front of my new saturday night main event set,
mean gean oakerlund interviewing the adorable adrian adonis & Jimmy Hart...
adrian is a hacksaw duggan type size body with a paulie head from the jakks rocky line and resized andre arms to give that fat arm look..the hair is a couple pices of rubber hair off some other jakks figure that i glued on
next up posing with a awa mic and the awa tag team belts in front of the nwa's wcw set that was brilliantly created by warsmen,
number one paul jones along with ravashing rick rude and raging bull manny fernandez!
rude is a normal rude classic with his geat painted up to match his hasbro counter parts...
fernandez is a bee brian blair figure wth a added head band ( the one from the mattel dusty rhoades ) and painted.
paul jones is a very simple part swap...ufc don fry head on a jakks suited body.
in next in front of yet another set done awesomely by warsmen,
my erich bichoff, nick bockwinkel and verne gagne!
i think the heads i used are pretty obvious here
now back to that great wcw set warsmen created with jim roos getting the latest scoop from the stinger and the american dream!
the dusty mattel head has sort of grown on me...i didnt like it at first but when i saw again the old wwf promos where he would do that big smile i began liking it
sting is the jakks legends sting head and top on a different lower half and paint combo.
3 legends of the ring in this next one!
Jerry the crusher blackwell, mill mascaras and wahoo mcdaniels...
wahoo has the figures inc head they made of him on a extra jay strongbow body painted...
blackwell is his awa head on a fat wrestler gorilla monsoon body.
Mill is sort of a interesting mix... his chest if from the old jakks titan tron live collection a steve blackman i think because of the tanned skin... and his head his from one of the larger mexican masked figures from the mid 90s... the rest is normal jakks ra parts.
back to the superstation WTBS studios ( wars is a awesome set designer and customizer btw! you rule man)
tony schivoni gets the latest news from a fired up magnum ta and the road warriors!
( the lod have the awa heads and magnum is a b brian blair head
Toy is a mattel piper head )
3 superstars entering this years royal rumble??
z man tom zenk, van hammer and hot stuff eddie gilbert!
z man is one of the extra brisco brother i had jerry i think.
van hammer is deuce or domminos head with redone hair
and hot stuff is the eddie gilbert head that figured inc made some years back.
and now for one of my proudest works!
"A cup of Coffee in the big time!"
Macho Man Randy Savage!
the head is a combo of the back half of the head made by head sculpter chan ada and the front face part is a jakks classic ddp glued together to make the full head and painted
the robe is another amazing creation by the legendary ralphs clothing ( you rule also sir! )
along with adrian as miss elizabeth ( but i am hoping to get a liz head off of the new head man around here the always awesome big evil john!)
on a side note the ic belt is obviously a pic print out however i then glue to belt pices on the magnet tape, cut em out then glue them on to a strip of foamie with velcro...
give the belts i do a little depth and weight
heres another shot of magnum also...
when time permits ill be posting more things
i hope you all enjoy
UPDATE 5/9/12
i very much appreciate the kind words from you all...i still dont consider my customs as good as alot of my favorite customizers on here like wars,june, mo 4 sho and big evil john but i always enjoy sharing what i got cooking...
heres some other works some i got done last week other i have had done for months...
enjoy
first another look at my road warriors without the spikes ot dog collars on
next my favorite hulk hogan with larger tanned bicep part from a cs delux beefcake, the real american hogan head, big show boots, my custom hogan 86 belt and one of 2 very sweeh hogan shirts my twa pal big evil john hooked me up with ( thanks again bro )
next kerry and kevin...i know some will say the heads seem a bit small but oddly enough once i got em on there i actully and very happy with the results
next up the masters of the power bomb!
i can tell you that not only can my vader go but the other wrestlers say its like being hit by a dump truck!
sid is standard big show boot mold swap...
vader is a big show torso with fat dusty rhoads arms and his lower half is the umaga mold they made with of course the vader boots and the padded gloves.
now for another one i am very proud of as my wife helped me a bit with her dremmel tool...
first a custom 1986 andre short hair head and painted blue gear...
big john studd was a spare big show body with a little tweeking...
i took to boots off and asked my wife ( who does art work with her dremmel so shes real good with it) dremmel down both the rounded lower legg part and deepen the pocket the lower leg part fits down in to on the boot part of the legs.
this was done so that john studdd would be a slight bit shorter then andre and yet have that giant vibe because he is basically on the same exact body.
next up a saturday night of watching classic universal monster movies and digging threw the parts box got me giant baba and antonio inoki!
inoki is basic the head is tony gazzo from rocky.
baba is a big show body with the short stone cold boot mold and a cs tully blanchard face with the hair adjusted by dremmel and the face thined out a little to get that long sort of giant face baba had.
watching boris karloff in frankenstien was what got me thinking about giant baba the long facil features he had.
speaking of stone cold,
how about if stunning steve,col robert parker and bunkhouse buck showed up on saturday nights manin event?
not really anything to hard here just some basic part swaps, adding rubber hair to buck and pait job for all.
and finally ( for now ) killer kahn, baron von rashki and ox baker!
my wife found the figures inc rashki and ox for me and got each for 5 bucks at a flea market table
kahns head was inspired by someone else's kahn on here as they to used the iron sheik head... cant recall if it was one of junes awesome works but i know it was one of the twa dudes
kahns body was inspired by again trying to get sport of that giant feel and stance he seemed to have..mine is a tad bigger then how he looked in real life but i dig him.
any how as always i am humbled by the kind praise and had some time to post a few more of my works thanks again all and feel free to let me know what you think of this batch
