For all the fans of Sons of Anarchy!!

jax teller.

took a little break from customizing for a month or so. I really wanted to get this one out by the season premier. Pretty sure I could do it better if I had spent more time on him, but I'm ok with it as a showpiece. Someday I will get a decal maker and not have to glue stick paper onto my customs lol. i added a little green stuff to the shirt to ake it look a little baggier (like a hoodie), little silver is supposed to be the zipper. Head is from a Thor figure.

I'm back to making customs again now, so I should have another couple in a week or two.

Nice. The hoodie is a nice touch. You don't need a label maker. Just get some water slide decals from a hobby store or ebay. Even Avery clear labels with some clear coat over them will work in a pinch.

I think it looks great. I agree that a decal will usually end up with a slightly smoother application, but to be honest, you'd need white backed paper (on the black background) anyway, and sometimes the white-backed decals present the same problems as paper.

My tip in both settings, but which might help you here also: paint the center of the paper black to better match the rest of the coat. do the same with the edges, so that only the lettering/blocks "look" printed, and you'll enjoy a much better likeness to the look of a real leather jacket.

As a Dreadnok fan, I'm always interested in biker customs.

Makes me wish I had cable to watch SOA.

Nicely done.

This looks great! I have a friend that lives for the show and watches with his son weekly,I will definitely have to steal from this and make him one for Christmas season.

Never seen the show even though the commercials made it look interesting. Regardless, this is a great custom on it's own.
