Custom LJN Hulk/Andre/Taker Works In Progress (W.I.P.s)

I would also love to see a update

Agreed! Can't wait to see where these are at... Both are very cool projects!

Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time to work on these, but I have done some work since my last pics. I'll see if I can get some more done the next couple weekends, and if so, I'll post some updates.

Smash, I appreciate the kind words, although there are some other customizers that do their LJN customs this way, that is, by using different parts and adding the apoxie to join the parts. And I'm sure some of them do a much better job of it than I do. Most of them though don't post on these boards, but you'll see their work show up on ebay, and you can tell the difference between the ones with simple repaints and those that have parts swapped. I've seen some really nice customs on ebay the last few months, some with some really cool original ideas and poses.

Speaking of changing the game of LJN customs, I'm looking into possibly getting some heads enlarged to LJN size. I thought I remember reading some posts of yours that talked about this but I'm not sure; I'll have to do some research on the previous posts. Only problem is, I'm sure this would be pretty costly to have someone do this for you. If I ever get the time, I'll probably try to do it myself using the Hydrospan product, but right now I don't have any free time to finish customs, let alone, resizing and molding/casting new heads. If anyone knows of anyone doing this for LJN sized heads please post some info on how they came out.

Also, I'm thinking about adding sideburns to the Andre figure... Anyone think this would be a bad idea?

Had to redo Andre's upper body because I wanted to get his shoulders a bit wider. Taker is coming along pretty good too, and I positioned his right arm in the choke slam position!

I have a sneaky feeling these are going to be AWESOME!!!

Great progress. I am excited to see another update. These have crazy potential.

No major updates, sorry. I don't have the time right now and probably won't for a while. I'm starting school soon which will keep me busy for a while. I'll start a new thread though to add some finished customs once I get some painted. These two (Hulk/Andre) have proven to be very challenging, especially Andre's hair, but Hulk is almost complete; just some more smoothing and touch ups. Some of my next customs shouldn't be as difficult. I've already started on Virgil, Dibiase ring gear, Honky ring gear, Smash, Mr. Perfect, Undertaker, a better Warrior, Bad News, and some of them are looking pretty good in my opinion. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and advice/tips.

Started on Andre's boot laces:


Decided to add a more realistic hair line on Hogan, as well as show his ears:


Guy on the left in front is one that I'm working on; hopefully you can figure out who it is just by his pose:

You are correct... He's doing his funky dance and is about to thump someone with his big elbow! I'm excited about doing a custom figure of him since he was always one of my favorites. Hope it comes out good.

WOW... I have nothing else to say... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
