So I'm not into customs but I had some extra rumblers so i made some first off 2015 HHH ![]() ![]() i166.photobucket.com/albums/u106/C-scope/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsoavmkmyd.jpg"] So for the torso peice of his blazer i made with that fabric with plastic coating ( you know some dog toys are made with it) colored that painted the arms and legs ( basically what Mattel does but with fabric instead of plastic) and cut the hair off. I have 2 more currently done but in trying to put all the pics in it deleted what i ha already typed so I'm doing them in seperate posts . |

Copy the IMG link next time on Photobucket to get the pic to show up.  The figure is rough, to say the least. The blazer idea isn't terrible, just needs some work. The hair cut needs some sanding to make it smooth or some paint to not look like you hacked off the dude's wig. The paint is sloppy, take your time, water down your paint a bit and use the right size brush. If you have more figures to share, post them in the same post. They will delete your other posts. |

Next seth Rollins  Pretty simple just painted a punk the lines aren't perfect but I think its alright ( defiantly better then my triple h) i didn't expect it to be really good because I've never painted something like this so i think it looks pretty good, what do you guys think? Edit: woo hoo i was finally able to post a picture |

Next up is roman reigns  Used a hhh body melted hot glue sticks with a lighter to mold the vest/pants painted thoose black sanded of the elbow pads painted the hair, used the smallest brush i could find at my local hobby shop to do the tatoo beard and eyebrows( still screwed up alittle on one eyebrow) then painted the logo on the vest . Also the picture pretty much sums up the best part about using the HHH body, Ooooooahhhh |

Might I suggest switching body parts for rumblers? It's fairly easy if you have some hot water handy. That way, you're not cutting off parts that don't fit on the current character, i.e. Punk's wrist tape for Seth Rollins.
That being said, Seth is a bit better. Paint is still hella sloppy. The gold is just flung on there. I would've done the blonde higher on the head all the way down. You have good ideas but the execution needs a lot of work. Don't let the constructive criticism discourage you. Use it for motivation. I started using old BCA figures and paint pens. So I know how it feels to just wanna do it. Just take your time and don't rush and you can turn out good figures.

I'll take a little more time on my next ones now that I've front a few im getting alittle more patient and have gotten a little steadier while painting, right now I'm working on a wrestlemania 30 taker so I'll post that as soon as I'm done. |

Invest in some sculpey for sculpting instead of hot glue. Hot glue look horrible. If you do more rumblers, I highly suggest switching parts, so you don't have to sand/cut off parts.

man, these are some of the sloppiest customs I've ever seen on here.
clean up the figures, seems like ever yone of them has paint splattered all over them, on hands, and heads, and bodies.
SLOW DOWN when painting, it is not a race.
SONT USE HOTGLUE to sculpt or whatever you are trying to do.
Andres singlet is hairy...and his head reminds me of leatherface...did you use tape on the torso?
the new version of hhhhs head looks worse, he is buzz cut, makes him look like like he had white puffy hair.
roman reigns is just bad.....really bad.
taker is the best looking one, simply because hes not covered in paint...even though he does have blotches.
rollins could be good, clean it up. as nicky said, the gold looks like random brush splatters.
im trying to be constructive but damn.
lord knows if i would have posted these years ago what people would have said.

I think I'm gonna use some black to touch up the gold. Andre i dont know what to do about the head it doesn't really look like him to me either the hair on the singlet is part of a cotton ball( i tried cleaning him up a bit after the paint dried with some goo gone). Taker I'm not gonna screw with because with him there's nothing major. Roman I'm just gonna call good. But I'm defiantly gonna clean up the paint blotches you mentioned. Thanks for being honest, and I'll work on slowing down while painting. |

Thanks for being honest, and I'll work on slowing down while painting. you are talking like youve done this for years. dont touch it up, just repaint it. take a toothpick and scrape off all the extra crap on the skin and glove area. repaint it and wait til it dries, then paint the gold. look at rollins attire and try to paitn what you see, not blotches. if you see blotches then get glasses please. take some fine grit sand paper and sand it down, its not that hard, because as of now it looks like a blind guy took a xacto knife and just started chopping away |

Sorry dude but have to agree with him. If you rush it, like you did, it won't look good. Use this advice to let you know what you need to do. At least you tried your best. If you think it looks good, then do it the way you want. |
