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.

Don't watch the show but, man, I like that a lot. Great base for a civilian figure.

The likeness is great, excellent choice for a custom, i'm a fan of the show to and can't wait to watch the new season.

One little crit, Jax has a windshield on the front of his bike and i noticed yours didn't, minor stuffs, lol

Awesome job and i hope you make the rest or some of the rest of S.O.A.

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