RV F'N D I hate the torso on the ppv Bret for Raven lol. It looks too ripped. The elite 3 cena has a light pair of shorts. I've seen some people mod the Austin boots with that shorts mold and they look pretty nice. I'm just not sure how to do it, I believe dean made it. I'm wondering if they have a funk torso in tan, I think it might work. That or I'm stuck using the small Adam rose torso which also looks a little small for Raven.

Couple of upcoming figures that could be used for fix ups questions:
How hard would it be to put Mankind's shirt and tie on the new basic Shane? I am guessing the rolled up sleeves couldn't be swapped out with the jersey sleeves without cracking.
I immediately thought the Uso's bandana could be used for cowboy wrestlers but then drew blanks on who wore one. Sam Houston? Ron Bass? Justin Hawk Bradshaw?

Has anybody used “testors” enamel modeling paint on elites before? I couldn’t find any Citadels paint so someone at the store told me this was similar. Does it leave them feeling sticky? Any advice?

Glorydaysofwrestling don't use that crap you'll ruin your figures. What you want is regular restore acrylic. Anything that says enamel will leave your figures tacky and will be prone to attracting dust. Testors flats work really well, now my problem is finding a sealer that doesn't change the finish of the paint I used. I want as close to the Mattel quality as possible, but matte is too dull and gloss just doesn't look right.

I wouldn't use it in general Enamel paints will leave figures tacky and dust magnets. It will never dry correctly. If you use regular testors paint it will be fine but not enamels.

GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy & PJ thanks for the advice. I started painting a figure with it, then decided not to paint the whole thing until I got some advice, I guess I'll have to use goo-gone to take it off now. Damn it I was excited lol! Any idea what citadel color would match the WM 2 Hart Foundation attires? I'm gonna have to order off of Amazon because no stores around me carry it. Thanks again.

NOT MY WORK This is a Goldberg a friend of mine made, who asked me to post it here to see what you guys thought of it. He used a Bluetista body repainting the whole thing, and swapped a couple of parts. Then added chest hair. The repaint came out really cleanly, and it looks very well done in my opinion. Obviously he's missing the tattoo so he'll get a decal. He's only just starting to do customs and would love critiques so he can improve and get better for future projects.

That torso looks so much better for Goldberg than the Triple H one

I kitbashed a WIP Goldberg last week and used that torso from the DM surfer Sting. Before my friend made this one. I think lots of people will use it from now on haha. I'm still finishing my one, will be posted next week.

Can't believe the time to repaint a bluetista torso though, BATB Sting torso would have been quicker to use

Me though, I did use surfer Sting for the torso and arms, and my recipe is 100% no skintone paint needed, as I used DM Hogan upper legs and Rusev lower legs. The head I screwed up though, drilled right through the scalp, it was a converted old Toybiz Goldberg head. I'll be showing mine off next week.

At least I'm not the only one that's dremeled through one of heads I was using.
