lol, as much as I love you guys for sticking up for me, I do still make customs. Let's try to at least comment on them first, then you can go back to bashing Mega.

I feel your painting look amazing.
- The indy wrestler is Fat not Buff. A Finlay torso would have worked better for him.
-I'm also not feeling the head. Try to find a Bob Ortons,

what what what??!!??!? you make customs? this thread...is about customs? that you made???
0Zz mYZ g0OdnAz...it is...
i have to say this indy guy looks really nice. the painting is smooth and crisp. the singlet was painted great. the shortcoming is the likeness of the head. it doesnt really look like the ref pic.
one other thing i remember is your hogan. i does seem a bit simple. what his lightning designs that simple? im not sure, i dont know the attire very well. mabye you could redo him in the future...
anyway, i wonder where my hero warlord went to...

Try to find a Bob Ortons, Thank you for your compliment, and I agree with you 100%. This was made for him, and Indy wrestlers are generally very small, fat and out of shape guys. I didn't want to use the Finlay/Anvil torso because the singlet is inaccurate, and I couldn't use the fat torso because I used it for another Indy guy that works with him a lot and he's much bigger. These guys think they're huge, I'd rather make them incorrect then make them look right and them continue business, lol. The Orton head is a good idea. I went with the Striker head because he's angry a lot, but by the reference picture the Orton head would've worked better. I prefer to make professional guys, I can make them accurate and not have to worry about hurting their feelings. |

haha, nice indy guy gate. i wont get on you about the torso, since you sais why its like that already, but i feel the hair is too high up. his hair is lower on his head. i guess its fine though. pretty simple custom.

I can't make excuses, his torso was my fault. I don't have any Regal torsos and I thought this was the next best thing. It's not my best decision.
As for the hair, I completely agree with you. I don't know what happened to it. I was sculpting it and it turned out like a mushroom. The first time I make someone it always comes out a bit bad, maybe he'll order another one and I can retry.

I was gonna get on your case for making these indy guys look a thousand times better than they do, but you explained why you did that already, so I wont. We wont want any indy wrestlers cutting there wrists.  All your painting is crisp, but to me in your efforts to not hurt feelings, you compromise the figures over all good....ness. Still nice and crisp painting. Id try a different head on both, but at least Nick Richards will know its him, by the hair. |

Very simple yet very good. I think if you added knee braces and the new kneepads it will look better.

There are "new" kneepads? Like besides the RA "Trace" ones and the DA "AMA" ones? You guys gotta keep me updated on this stuff.
Knee braces, dangit. You'd think that with such a simple custom that I would do something like that. Well, I guess you'd think wrong. I wish they made shorter boots for DAs.

i think that nick richards would look alot more realistic if he had that undefined chest. they are all very good. that scsa is also a very good quick fixup.
