INGREDIENTS:
- WWE Big Show w/ action feature
- glued legs (where action feature gear is located)
- gave him a shave and deliberately kept the scars on his face
- sculpted the pants, shirt band buttons and arm bands
- earring is made from a small piece of clear twist tie
- shirt bands made of flattened, black twist tie
- painted (w/a darker skin tone) and sealed

Let me know your thoughts....

I dig it, and now I know what I can do with that Elite Big Show that I bought and had no idea what to do with :)

Everything went very well, I think we all had a good time; I know I did. About 8.25 houses showed up with one honorable mention for one house just did a "hit and run" for they had a wedding to go to...

I've meet all these people after moving to the area, but it was great to get to know them a bit more...overall, very good first block party.



Glad it went well, they should have showed you proper respect, you are a league initiate after all :etwink:

Presenting, Public Enemy #255: Babyface (based on Batman: The Brave and the Bold)


INGREDIENTS:
- WWE guy
- after an exhaustive baby head figure search, I finally had enough and just sculpted
- shaved hair, sculpted head with little tuft of hair
- painted bow tie
- used a silver Sharpie to highlight and give him steel toed wingtips

The girls have asked me to make him a pacifier as his accessory and I think I will, along with finding him a machine gun
