OK, I know I asked this before but I forgot to write it down and now I can't find the post. I've got the idea of how to apply decals, but I forget -- what type of prep/set/finish do you use for wrestling figures? Working with CSCD here. I just use this to help adhere decals. Apply to surface apply decal, dab at it to smooth it out so you don't potentially rub the ink off. I make a mixture of matte mod podge for my air brush then I apply a layer, and then depending on how it looks I may apply a 2nd layer.

Back into collecting after a small leave of absence, was digging through some bags and bins and salvaged a couple good-enough-for-me 2001 customs from some spare parts I had laying around. Stone Cold from his Margaritaville promo with The Rock. I know the torso is small and basic, but again, spare parts. Free labels from USPS + home printer + acrylic paint = ghetto bootleg decals lol Kane in his one-off all-black attire from No Way Out 2001. This was my first time ever sculpting, painting, or dremeling a figure. I think I did an alright job with my tremoring hands. I ended up removing the kneepads but don't feel like taking new pictures. He was wearing some sort of leg sleeve at the time but it was underneath his gear and I'm not sure how to best convey that. I still think this R3 tech head is the best Kane sculpt ever.

What's the belt in the background? Is that the new title, or just a commemorative title they are selling?

I did the same thing but used some plastic that melts in hot water to thicken up the arm pegs and put it in the holes for the hands so mattel hands work ...Turned out pretty good .Product is called moldable plastic pellets that I got from Hobby Lobby .

Did this WMXL fix up of Seth. Might paint the sleeves or add an extra black shirt underneath. Used the clear suit basic head.

Got the parts in for this today, put it all together, and then realised i didn’t have any blue paint to finish him lol. But heres a basic to elite Chris Masters conversion about 75% of the way done, based on his 2010 run. I’ve swapped all the parts and almost finished the white outline of his tights design. I will probably also give him the lower legs from his basic since the boots don’t fit flush on the HHH lower legs.

Don't suppose anyone knows if any of the recent Undertaker figures' tattoos are TrueFX do they?

Anyone done a fix up of the Championship Showdown British Bulldog? Wondering which would be the best parts to use.

Couple things ive been toying with. Need to repaint virgils eyes here, also been considering painting the waist band with his name on his abdomen. As for bulldog. I wanted something kind of wcw nitro era. Im gonna replace his arm tassels with red white and blue arm tassels. Also the tightsbare temporary until mattel puts out wcw bulldog tights Plan on attempting a wcw crow Sting very soon as well, also jackets for bret and jim and maybe a few other small things. Nothing too crazy

Thanks If you don't mind the skintone or get around it, I like E20 Santino 's lowers with a Bret torso. I bet the new Gable in its entirety wouldn't be bad either, though the torso is cast in blue with a tattoo on the back of the neck. Still you could get away with just swapping the top half of the torso with a Bret.
