Two custom HHHs, p. 4

Wow, thanks, Big Tel! It's been a while since I made this figure, so I can't remember the details. I must have made him with a different outfit before he had the new chest tats, then never updated them after giving him the cow trunks. I always thought his 'new' chest tats were horrendously ugly, not to say anything of his 'new' face tattoo. I prefer a classic Radicalz look.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. If the goal is to play with the figs, I don't understand why one wouldn't equip them maxi-bendation or make them more realistic in other respects (e.g., toning down absurd muscle mass). Maybe I have a duller imagination. I'm working on a Rhyno now that I hope will generate some discussion. I've never seen a good Rhyno figure. Ever. I hope to correct that!

Rhyno


Not quite finished; still have a few lose ends to tie up. But it's photogenic enough as is.

Thanks, KSE. The head is from the old ECW figure. I walk though how to make it compatible with Jakks/Mattell parts here.

Aside from the hair, there are no R3 parts on this figure. Almost entirely Elite. I list all the parts on the same page linked to above.

The best Rhyno ever made . I'd love to see anyone elses that thinks anything else can even come close .

Amazing work on the Rhyno, best head I've ever seen for him - amazed its form the old OSFTM line. The part choices you used for his body works perfectly as well.

If it’s a major cut, like taking 3mm off the bottom of a torso (as I did with Rhyno), I use a metal cutting disk dremel bit. But 80% of the shaving, etc. is done with a (roughly) 100 grade grindstone bit. For a smoother shave, I use a (roughly) 200 grade bit. Both are run at around 10-20k rpm. Both bits are pictured here:
To finish the surface, I go over it by hand again with 320 grade sandpaper, and then once more with 600 grade sandpaper.

You can absolutely shave a bit of hair and re-carve it. You can shape a piece of plastic almost any way you want using the right dremel bits. But you can only "take away" with the dremel, so be careful not to take off too much. Otherwise you'll have to correct it by adding, say, molding putty. I do that frequently: when I need more mass to shape than what is already there, I add putty, let it dry, then dremel that as well. I have pics of this process on my customs Facebook page, where I show the stages of changing one Kane mask into another using a dremel, putty, and sandpaper.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.

Kane


One notable feature is that I used real mesh on the outfit instead of paint.

Kane is amazing. The charlie hass head works great!
