**WWE Mattel Retro Custom & Fix-up Pic Thread**

The Hasbro is really all you need. The headband, glasses, the smug face.

I'm spending a lot of my time on practicing using 3D modeling software. My 3D printer is still in the box, but I'd rather know how to make things before I have the printer going. It only makes sense. I've been working on that aborted Hasbro Undertaker head..

So, basically you want to upload as many different angles of the object as you can. I could also use a 3D scanner to directly enter my own figures into the program. There is that webbing over your image and you create those red pins wherever you want to pull the webbing . You're basically tracing the facial features under it. Then you generate the pics into one 3D image and you smooth out the rough edges. I'm learning hair right now, and I want to pull my own out lol.

What's cool is if you could only find, say, the right side of a head scan online, you could just create a copy and invert it so you will have a left side. But I'm soaking all this in. I'm on vacation for another week, so I'm hoping to have a basic handle on the software. So many decimal number settings and options, it could be overwhelming. Best way to go about it is strictly master one area at a time (i.e. hair). Just get the big things down, then learn the other bells and whistles. It really isnt that hard to do the basics. I couldn't put it down at night. I'm using Blender 2.8, Meshmixer, and Cura 4.6. They are all great programs that do different things, and most importantly, they're FREE.

You'd have a blast with it. The possibilities are endless. I drink my coffee in the morning and scout projects I'd love to take on. I'll provide updates.

I got around to doing the decal work on my Bret Hart custom.
I also swapped out that awful old Jakks head for an ultimate edition head. Definitely an improvement but I’m debating about whether it will look better if I trim off that piece of hair down the front of his face

I didn't see a hasbro specific thread, but same spirit really. The Enforcer. This was a fun one. Yes Arn should have the wrist tape painted. Yes its sculpted on there. Bonus points if you can figure out why I didn't do that based on whose body I used   Hopefully this photo isn't too zoomed in to show all the flaws lol. He looks great from a distance. 

I've been focusing on improving my 3D modeling skills. I'm more of a drawing kind of guy, and sculpting anything has been something I've never tried, but I'm working on a Hasbro Harley Race head based on the Mattel scan. I'm working on his side profile now:




That Cody looks really good! I'm excited that we have AEW parts to use now, too.

🤯🤯🤯👎🏻 good work.. but 🚔

Haha

Hasbro Bret Hart head sculpt in colored form:

Absolutely. I'm waiting on a 3D scanner. It is in the way to the Creality warehouse now and the lady from there told me it will be shipped immediately.

For now, I'm working on my 3D sculpting skills. I want to spend more time working on teeth and hair, as those are two of the more difficult areas. I'm a talented drawer, so I'm hoping that continues to translate into 3D sculpting skills. I have a ways to go, but spending time with it and working through the messes and bad days pay off.

But, I want to take this customizing game to another level.
