I think I'm going to puke! It's the return of the silver figures just painted black instead!  I guess I can skip this one since I can aim a spray can at a stromtrooper just as well as hasbro.

That's pretty cool. I never noticed that reference before.

Think of Microman customs as a kind of style. Kind of like making star wars figures out of Stikfas or Kubrick. They are not made for realism, just for ultimate actuation. However, I think you would love the jedi that I'm working on next. He will have all of his joints covered in softgoods.

I mixed up a shade of bluish gray that I think is really close to the head color. Now show looks topless while wearing light blue pants. This is only a first cote so it needs some touch ups but all the joints are painted and the color doesn't scratch off. I have some army camoflague fabric to use for the shirt.

Cool Robo-Rykrof Brent. He reminds me of that robot in Logan's Run that tries to freeze Logan before they get outside. What was that robot's name?

Thanks. The microlady neck post is just a ball and a stick. I cut off the stick and glued the ball to the buttom of the Leia head. The ball then goes back in its slot on the upper part of the body. I hide the connection with the chain.

I've made JD my base of operations. Then I typically post at either CommandoCustoms (because I like the gi joe and microman sections) and FFURG (because it is where star wars customizing started and we need to support the site as a storehouse of our collective knowledge)

I typically stay away from forums with a small posting rate and I wouldn't touch Rebelscum with a ten foot poll. Too many kids there and other political crap. Besides how many times do I need to see the 1000th version of a 501st clone trooper?

The hard part is finding a new audiance of customiers that are active in their forum. Sometimes, I feel like I'm showing the same people the same custom figure over and over again.
