Chatter-chatter

I'm still behind on the custom challenges.    Oh well, the T sisters sound challenging.

I won't stop until I get tired of it.  Whenever my wife asks when I might stop, I just reply:  "When are you going to stop painting little pieces of wood to plaster our walls with?  When will you quit scrapbooking, and making cute little dollies for our daughter?"

It's a hobby, it's constructive, and fun.  The reason it's viewed by many as a kid's hobby is because it utilizes action figures.

Wow.  Thanks for the econ lesson. 

I don't think anybody who does commissions expects the buyer to turn around and sell it for a profit.  There is no manufacturer/retailer/consumer relationship here, and commissioning a custom usually costs less than it would to compete with other buyers on ebay. 

I'd be ticked if somebody did that to me, especially with the exceptional time required and resulting quality pieces you guys and guys like Bantha5 turn out.  I'd probably decide not to make and sell anything to that person anymore, but that's just me. 

There may be some unknown factors:  Maybe the seller fell on extremely difficult financial times.  If I lost my job, etc., my action figures would be the first thing to go after a few more extraneous things were liquidated.

I use the pinstriping tape found at hobby shops.  It's perfect for nice straight or slightly curved lines.  Just don't leave it on overnight, or it'll leave a residue.

Phew!  I was worried about that one, it was at $22 for most of the time.  Thanks again DD and red5sixx!
