      ^^^ Exactly. There are several guys around here that do that. Also people have been using Jakks wrestlers for bulkier parts.

        I'm trying to make Alpha Flights, Puck. he needs to be shorter than any figure and alot bulkier. i don't think anyone's gone that short and yet bulky for a custom figure or wrestler figure. so i'm chopping arms and legs to make him shorter and now need to make him bulkier.

          You could grab a custom torso from one of the great customizers out there and then cut at the arms and legs like you mentioned...

              I don't know the character, but shorter and bulkier... He-Man body, maybe?

                  use Bill Mayes might putty or even better (since it takes a lot longer to harden) Apoxie sculpt

                  apply, shape as desired, let dry, sand if needed and paint.-

                    Use the body from the UFC fighter Randleman, he is short and much bulkier than the rest. I actually used him on a Worf custom but I extended his legs but if you leave him alone he will be shorter.
