Star Wars Action Figures / Your First custom...
« on: August 23, 2005, 08:29 PM »
I was looking at my first custom the other day, and I realized I have come along way. I am a much better customizer now than I was when I started, granted I have a long way to go before I'll ever consider myself good. 
I remember when I was little I saw a few customs in my friends ToyFare magazine. One was an Endor Stormtrooper with an ewok pelt. It was one of the coolest thigns I had ever seen. And a couple years later I was looking for Star Wars customs online, cause I liked looking at them. 
I somehow ended up in the RS custom section after clicking on one of the results and as a result discover RS and joined. After watching the custom section for awhile I was led to FFURG, and I figured out how to make my own customs. I was reading the NJO at the time and I decided to make my favoritew EU character. After going out and buying some supplies, including my dremmel, I started on my first custom ever, Corran Horn in X-Wing Pilot gear. And this is how he bad turned out.
So what got you guys into customizing, and what did your first custom look like?

I really like how the Mission Log threads are private now, it really sets JD apart from other sites. 
I can't wait, I can't sit still and I know I won't be able to sleep tonight. Even thought there is absolutely no reason to I'm going to get in line around 10 or 11am tomarrow morning. I've got my folding chair from C3, some snacks, my Dell Dj, some reading material, and hopefully some friends 
I was trying to figure out where I am going to put all the new figures tonight, because I am out of wall sapce for these. I have been trying to get at least 1 MOMC and 1 loose of every figure as well as army build. My wallet hates me for it.
