very nice stuff. the choices that you use for base figures are interesting to say the least, but they all turned out well. great bca chainsaw charlie, i never would have expected someone to use those figures for customs anymore

if anyone has a ttl smiling christian head, i think that would be perfect for an earlier version of hall or razor ramon. tinyman did 1 waay back and it was a dead on likeness. personally i don't really see the resemblance of hall in either bret of martel, they could possibly work but not without significant modifications

i hear ya, i did consider doing the look with his hair down. but to me the jakks head isn't too bad (the r3 version, somehow the ra 1s look terrible). If i had sculpted his hair down, i'd also have to take the extra steps to make sure his head still retained articulation and probably make the head removable so that his vest could be swapped on and off. a liiiittle too much work.

The Assassin: no worries. both the graphite and colour pencils go on fine onto the plastic, but you've got to be really careful not to touch the area before sealing it. your hard work could easily be ruined since they smudge off really easily. once you've got a few coats of sealant on the area then you're safe.

I applied a few coats of gloss sealer on the boots to give them that shiny effect. as for the chest hair, colour pencils and a regular pencil, after which the area was sealed with a matte finish to prevent chipping

annd hall is done. i'm quite happy with how it turned out, especially with the barett body. i think scale wise it's pretty accurate. credit for the vest and knee pads go to ralph's, really pleased with the quality. after seeing quite a few of the red wolfpack style fixups, I wanted a b&w version of hall, to go with a b&w version of nash and hogan (eventually) recipe r3 hall head barett body ax upper thighs duggan boots the barret neck joint has this really odd shape to it, so i had to sand that down. scott hall

once again thanks guys NickJ: this is the stuff that i use for sculpting, it's a 2 part epoxy clay that is similar to aves apoxie. highly recommended since epoxy clays dry rock hard and are really durable

thanks guys, appreciate the support.
The Assassin: haha i guess you have the fashion back in the 80s and 90s to thank, seems like a lot of the guys liked wearing socks that showed through their boots. Am definitely hoping mattel pulls through and does a foley in the near future, would love to see a cactus jack and corporate mankind. i do agree with you on the head choice for crush. I was thinking that by bulking up nash's cheeks he'd pass off as adams. plus the sculpt has a pretty good grimace that I associate with crush. alas it fell a little short. live and learn eh?
