Apoc here's another idea for the Sheik torso:
Rick Martel mid-80s as AWA champ was lean like his Mattel figure for sure - but by the time he was doing "The Model" gimmick he had a gut very similar to Sheik.
A more accurate "The Model" Rick Martel should use that torso *hint*

I think that would be too big for the Model , a funk body in tan would be more accurate i think heres my warlord, obviously need to paint the eyebrows and goatee and eyes but you get the picture its brock from waist up and smash from waist down   For anyone curious, the difference between Zekes trunk mold and Demolitions is about 1/16th - 1/8th of an inch |

Wow never thought the smash trunks would fit the brock/zeke torso.
In person is it as flush as it is in the pics?
Any idea whether hillibilly jim trunks would also fit?
Anyways loving your recipe! Keep up the good work.

Yea it fits really well. I always prefer not to paint anyhow so im glad it works.
i dont think hbj's trunks are the same size as demolitions but dont take my word for it cause i cant say for sure.... you could match it up with finlay, sheik, volkoff, duggan, shango or demolition to see if they look the same size

Warlords Finished, What a long process its been to make a good warlord, Ive tryed damn near everything Attempt number 1:  Attempt number 2: The razor wire was just an attempt to try decal paper to see how it would hold  Attempt number 3:  -- Finally Im happy with a Warlord custom, I still have to sculpt the W on the staff better.... right now its just plastic cut in the general shape i want   |

That's one sick warlord. Does Jakks warlord head have the same skin tone as Brock.

I think so yes, the fix up with the warlord head is using either an scsa or a british bulldog, and i think it was scsa. scsa and brocks skin tone are the same, bulldogs is a little more tanned. i really think its a scsa body in the picture above with the warlord head... i dont paint skin tones so you can see the match |

you're third attempt at Warlord is even better Apoc. I'm still not totally convinced that a modified Mattel head is the best solution for his head though. I know you hate Jakks balloon heads but with the wider Mattel torso I'd like to experiment to see if the Jakks head would look good on that body - it was a decent scan:   Just one minor suggestion: if you used E14 Cody Rhodes calves, they look a lot more defined that Demolition's smaller calves, it would give Warlord more size and depth. |
