[QUOTE="poncho, post: 487320, member: 1849"] Having seen a thread on facebook from the vintage rebellion podcast boys about customs i thought i would share mine. i havnt heard the podcast yet im very much behind. i believe the general jist was customs is a love hate thing amongst collectors. me well.. Having perused through the Tantivexi Customs thread http://www.tantivexi.com/f18-creative-customs and it inspired me to make some of my own customs there are some outstanding artists on there james and clints work in particular and are moderators and regular posters on tantivexi my interest in vintage starwars toys has dwindled in the past 2 years or so ive dabbled every now and then in a custom to keep my toe in the water as to speak. ive made 4 so far over the past 18 months or so. they have become better and better i think. i think the key to customs is having fun :) taking something that was once broken/beat up and bringing back to life in new fun way. i would like to add that figures i have used for customisation were broken, cracked, very worn/played with. here we go....
