Needs work but it's almost done. Matching skin tone for the head will be the hardest part...and fixing the crooked eye lol
•Head is from an older fig of this guy, body is all Jericho with black parts repainted.
•Using a Neville body would give him about the right size, but the head is big so it looks better on the Jericho body.

Great work! I love the Paparazzi Productions era for Alex Shelley. I have an RA custom from that era of him somewhere.

Why you fixing the crooked eye? I'm sure one was wonky last time I saw him... Might just be my dodgy memory though.
Looks great good luck with matching up the skin tone that's easily the hardest part of customising imo

Lmao cant tell if youre serious about the eye, now I have to ask the customer if they even want me to fix it
The skin isnt too hard to match, it's usually a "typical" Caucasian colored paint with some yellow in it. Of course, it would be great if there was a company who sold the right tone already. The hard part is when you dont mix enough the first time and have to match your own mix again haha

I'm gonna call this done for now Skin isn't a perfect match, it's tough to reproduce that translucent plastic effect. Still better than the pink bubble gum skin from before though haha
I use Midlund Flesh and add drops of Sulfuric Yellow until it's about right. (Formula P3 Paints, Privateer Press)
A quick tip, the paint apps on the Jerichos I've used are really thick, making acetone more dangerous to use because you have to leave it on longer to dissolve it, damaging the plastic too. Using sandpaper is recommended instead.

Thanks bub, I fixed the arm band spacing, per request: i.imgur.com/FkmUQnb.jpgGreat work! I love the Paparazzi Productions era for Alex Shelley. I have an RA custom from that era of him somewhere. I looked at some of his other attires, lots of cool busy designs, all things that would make me go crazy trying to paint haha |

I like that, good work. Too bad the Jakks TNA Impact Deluxe Aggression heads are way too big for the Mattel body. It would be sweet to customize guys like Crimson, James Storm, Suicide, Kazarian, etc.

Did you need to Dremel the head or did it fit in the peg without issue?
