Base figure is The Miz. Total repaint of the pants and kickpads. shawn michaels rockers head with painted hair. Jacket from Ralph's. Customized the IC belt to match the one Shawn wore during that era. Thoughts and feedback appreciated!  |

That looks fantastic! The jacket and belt are great too, what kind of paint did you use on the strap if I may ask?

There's a little yellow paint visible in his hair. I touched it up but forgot to take a new pic.

A few coats of blue paint diluted with water. Re-inserted the plates once it dried. I see! How's the strap once its dried, does the paint stay on fine, or does it chip off a bit? Been considering painting belt straps for a while, never had the guts to do it! |

The strap is fine afterwards. Just let each coat dry and be sure to mix the paint with a bit of water. There was 1 or 2 tiny chips that I touched up after re-installing the plates. Took a second to fix and looks good as new now. Here are both of my custom IC belts.  |

I'm still pretty new at this stuff but the positive feedback is great to hear! Here's my Andre trio. Reprinted the boots on the Afro Andre. Reprinted the trunks and boots on the yellow one (one of my favorite attired). And head swapped the WM3 andre with the yellow one.  |

Just finished Kurt Angle and Double J Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett needs some more work on his chest but he's coming along nicely so far.  And yes, I know Kurt's head is a little too big. But it's the best I can do for the moment. I saw the Kurt recipe on the Mattel fix up post and I had some similar pieces so I gave it a shit. Not upset about how it turned out. |

You do some really good and clean work That means a lot. I haven't made many customs do I'm a bit self conscious about how neat my paint work is. |
