i use krylon matte finish to seal my stuff. it gives it a more flat and realistic look.

hey peeps,
the Dibiase head is actually the upper head of an old angle scan and the lower jaw of a non-real scan edge i think.
as for virgil yea its partly a ttl rock and matt hardy's jaw.
Lukze0422: thnx man. i didnt think anyone would notice the covered up peg holes but i think it does a great deal in removing the 'toy-ness' of the figure
The Assassin™ : i plan to do a few more wrestling customs...but i guess well hafta wait and see how that turns out...
Special EFX: they were sculpted on and the textures and such were etched on with a sculpting tool

whoa thnx for the kind words everyone, appreciate the compliments. kinda cool to see some familiar faces still on the forums. it took abt 2-3 days worth of work to get the sculpting and painting done on yoko. i dunno but it seems he needed about 5-6 more coats of paint than normally necessary. anyways, i managed to dig up some of my older work frm the TTL era...my more recent work can be found here. www.1-2-3-faux.deviantart.com

cheers all tibbs1984: the contrast of colurs only works well if u paint on a surface with recesses and raised areas. you can either use washes, which essentially is "washing" the area with a darker shade of colour diluted with water that will seep into the cracks and recesses of the sculpt, leaving the raised areas a lighter shade. alternatively u can use a method called drybrushing, which kinda works in the opposite direction of washes. take a lighter shade of a colour, dab yr brush in it and wipe the bristles till only a hint of paint is left, and paint over the area. the raised surfaces will be highlighted a lighter shade, leaving the recesses a darker shade. Great Gonzo - Who?: it's always great to see a familar face out there, glad to see yr still around. i actually haven't been in contact with tee for ages, no idea if he's still in the customising scene for all those who asked, i'm working on a few more wrestling customs, and yea, they're mostly old school. what else didja expect?

appreciating the feedback everyone. to answer some questions, Rated [R] NinJa: i'm working on a few old school projects, but nt sure when they'll be complete. Goreinator: no hard and fast tips per say, other than i use a fine sculpting tip and it's good to have some form of reference pics GLC™ : Eddie Guerrero = Legend: yeap yr right it's actually an r3 torso. Beyondo: thanks chum. feedback coming frm 1 of the better customisers on the boards means alot. greenjack1992: the RA arms needed quite a bit of sanding before they looked right on an r3 torso, just a heads up so u might need to modify those arms first freebird83: my more recent work can be found at my deviantart gallery 1-2-3-faux.deviantart.com/i took some time to plan out this custom as i didn't want to use a torso that looked too ripped for piper. none of the current RA molds had the proper boot or sock sculpt and i'm not really fond of the removeable pads jakks uses so i took liberties in sculpting them on. the tights were also sculpted to have greater depth so the colours would "pop" when i got round to painting them. cheers all
