Rattle5, not sure how I forgot to post the other pics. I think JYD and Rude are my personal favorites. You could probably fetch pretty good money if you decided to sell those. JYD looks really good. I also really like your Orndorff, Brutus, and your new Macho Man. I like how you redid Macho's hair and changed up the glasses.
Brutus has that crazy hair and bow tie which is awesome. All you need is the candy stripes on the scissors. Adding the actual clothes is pretty cool too. Are those from Mattel figures?
And, while it could be cleaned up a bit, overall your Earthquake is pretty awesome in my opinion. You really captured his likeness very well, and the pose you have him in makes it look like he's doing his "tremor jump" in the ring. Most Earthquake customs are done in his blue attire, so it was nice to see a change from that. You could probably smooth out his legs and arms a little more, which I think would really add to the look.
Love your creativity and part ideas. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
I'm getting close to being ready to paint a couple of mine. Can you tell me which paint you ended up using, and whether or not you think it's a good choice?
Thanks!

Thanks heaps for the feedback mate, everything you said was spot on. I actually did sell one of the JYD's on ebay for 150 bucks. The clothes I've added have mostly been from Jakks classic superstars. Earthquake was one of my first one's when I still really didn't know what I was doing so I'm rapt you like that. The paint I used for most of them was cheap crap acrylic paint from the $2 dollar shop but then I ordered some craft smart acrylic paint off ebay and that has been so much better- both JYD's, ravishing, new macho were craft smart. Thanks to the wrestling superstars ljn facebook for putting what paint to use on there page. I still need to get a better gloss or finish.
Thanks again for your feedback and I'm looking forward to seeing your awesome work. You are one of the guys that inspires me to get better.
Cheers!!

Thanks for the info on the paint, and thanks for the kind words, but it might be a little premature as I've yet to finish one single custom in the past year or so. I just hope I can keep them looking good once they're painted. I haven't really painted anything for a long time.
I can't seem to get them finished as fast as you and others. For some reason it's like I can only work on them when the mood/creativity strikes me. I"ll try to focus though and finish one real soon.
I'll keep an eye out for any new ones you post. I love seeing new LJN customs, so hopefully others will get inspired to give it a try. They'll find out it's pretty fun.
