OK, time for round 2... This time I made a Matt Hardy in V1 style, with the red Hot Topic pants lol. I will eventually make him a real V1 t-shirt, but I wanted to see if I was up to the challenge of that wacky Hardy Boyz logo in small scale first, I think it turned out OK...
I tried to take pics with my roomate's digital camera, but it's older and I'm surprisingly still new with digital photography, so they're fuzzier than I would like. I previewed posting them here but they turned out ridiculously huge, so I'll provide a link to my album instead, I also took some slightly better pics of my DX Shawn Michaels in there as well.

I painted the pants red, and added the color to the pockets on the back as well as the black panels and stripes for the legs. I also removed the head and painted on his facial hair under the jawline. This Matt actually has Jeff's left hand; I didn't care for how they made his sleeve into a glove by painting the whole thing white, so I swapped Matt's left for it. Soon as I can get a few more figures for parts, I'm going to experiment with heating the hands up to see if I can get a good V1 hand sign going... I also was thinking of gluing or sewing the sides of the shirt closed, so it's like a real shirt but not removable.
Hopefully after this weekend I'll be starting on some improvements to the tiny ring, I want to devise some type of spacer to make it bigger and then build a base, new ropes, and ring skirts....
