 Decided to start stabbing at my first Surfer Sting, Based off his Match for the U.S. Title at a Clash Of Champs. Question: The sealer I use is a Citadel spray can non-gloss, it tends 2 not work as well, or remove coloring & smear paint apps if touched at all once applied. Any recommendations of Sealer Brands? & do you guys use more than 1 coat to finalize your work? Krylon Crystal Clear Matte - I spray about 2- 3 light coats |

Just a quick swap I did with the BP SCSA that came with Vince and my All Stars SCSA. Looks 100x better now.  |

unreleased Elite Legends 7 Magnum T.A. fix-up:  Didn't realize the boots were between Barry Windham and Dusty Rhodes boots, so I had to keep the legs for what it's worth. Since I was splitting trunks thought I'd might as well give him Arn Anderson's torso with the hairier chest because well, Magnum had a hairy chest. |

 Just a small fix on elite 42 triple h. Painted center piece and gave him some skulls from an old spawn toy. |

Anyone know what medium kneepads work on RSC pink and black attack Bret Hart to replace the sleeves? Looks like an old Jinder Mahal pink kneepads might work but they look like they might be too far into hot pink. Don't really feel like spending the cash on another WMX Bret to get those kneepads.

Yeah it was the crotch piece. I acetone off the logo to leave just the black, then I painted just the design I wanted but left it black tights an then used the sealer to which it turned grey on me except for the painted part. So I guess I will try the lacquer thinner....where could I buy some? if you're spraying outside in the Florida humidity then it's gonna blush which will make it look cloudy or "grey". I spray mine in the bathroom with the fart fan on  Lmao....Yeah I spray them outside then I just bring him inside to dry off. I dont actully keep him out there bc of that |

Nice work, did u paint the white on behind the kneepads? You should make it light grey and not so high up his thigh. Otherwise great work! |

The WMX Bret Hart elite has the only real matches for that I think. |

I put WMXXX on mine. Not sure any other matches exist |

Has anyone tried this headswap on the Mattel Elite Owens yet?  I actually bought a Steen figure and the head is HUGE! Like bigger than Jakks heads. It is made more in the style and scale of a Mego figure. I think if somebody recast it and shrank it down it would look alright, but the sculpt on the finished product is pretty soft overall. Mattel's is better in many ways I think. |

Speaking of not so high up...Just got done with my Magnum. Why are they still making leg sleeves?? Also trimmed the white tape up to make it smaller so it looks better with the mid size knee pads.... (just noticed the right leg is still a little longer..looks like Ill have to trim that up more.)  Crockett Cup Champions Americas Team!  |

Nivro™ man loving that pic of Magnum & Dusty and pretty genius to use the Andre trophy (oh wait that's not the Andre trophy) for the Crocket Cup heh. Cept it now makes me sad because Magnum was injured and it was the Russian Nightmare that teamed up with the American Dream to win it. We need a Nikita mattel!!!!

Bandy when you were making your Magnum in red did you try Magnum's lower legs on Arn's thighs? If so how did they look? I have my all black Arn that I was thinking of swapping heads and lower legs with Magnum, but if you tried it already and thought it didn't look right I will just keep them as is. Whoops! I forgot to hit send. lol Anyway I did swap them and I think it looks better the original way...so I will swap them back out.    |
