Beefy torso then. He was jacked at the start. (no wellness policy) Austin or Cody though? a bigger torso. If you only have those two then use the Austin torso.

So after lurking this site for awhile, I figured it was time to share my own work. I had stepped away from doing customs for awhile due to time issues, but started to miss the fun of piecing stuff together. I pulled together some parts, and went to work on these random things. Still plenty of work to do on these. I acquired the parts through a MASSIVE lot, so many of these things needed cleaning up. The Strong lower legs were oddly tinted tan. Not sure what the hell they did to them. Possibly shoe polish? Also tried a new sculpting technique on Tama Tonga. I sculpted the hair so it'd still be movable, but it was so damn hard to recreate the texture his hair has. Good news is, the technique should work if I apply it to a more basic type of hairstyle. I know it doesn't technically belong in this section, so I do apologize to those who stick strictly to actual fix-ups. Hopefully you guys don't mind though, since I certainly enjoy looking at everything that gets posted here. I'll move everything to the custom section once they're actually finished. All comments are appreciated.

Great work on that Repo. I'm not sure if you mentioned it earlier, but do you have any accessory plans for him?

It's a shame we haven't gotten more mileage out of the Austin/Bulldog torsos. Pretty sure you're right though. Austin/Ringmaster, and the original Hawk are the only ones to use it in a lighter tone.

I was hoping to find some materials to make a tow rope for Repo today but after 4 stores, I couldn't find anything that would work as a rope so for now he will have no accessories

Youre a crafty dude, I believe you can do it. Needs a duster too. Ralphs has one that looks good for $10.99

Cut the cowbell off and you can sculpt hooks over the straps on the end.

I don't know where I've seen it on here but I remember seeing painted Tag Team titles to the silver and blue ones from Smackdown. Since Orton just won them, I'd like to make one for him. Is it just as simple as painting them silver and blue, or are people making new plates for them? Thanks

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH..... Couple years late, but this new Harper sculpt is great. Want to paint the wrist bands and vest blue, but I hate painting plastic accessories. I have 3 Harper and 3 Bray elites now....

Couple things Ive tinkered with...80s Ric Flair in solid blue. The Start of a Dutch Mantel (not sure how Im gonna go with this yet), Basic to Elite conversion of Jim Duggan. WCW Manager Harley Race (was going to sculpt a stache but leaving it off I have the option to use the head for King Race as well) and then a Sean Mooney fixup/custom

Cut the cowbell off and you can sculpt hooks over the straps on the end. I have no clue to where it is now, but when my daughter was younger and we played "GI Joe Barbie" I had a Joe that was a Fire/rescue doll that came with a wire stretcher with cables and a smaller rope with hooks at both ends that would be perfect for it. Unfortunately we haven't played that in about 6-7 years so I have no clue to where it is anymore.
