Updated Post #11 and 13 It's been a few years but it's time to fire back up the workshop and begin casting again. I have all the equipment, might as well use it. I'm not planning on selling anything right now, at least not in any type of large scale. There's plenty of casters out there...

I don't think they will be too hard to obtain once they become available on HTS. I've been able to order the Marvel Avengers on several occasions from them. Now that's old school.

It seems to have worked. I actually seem to recall once upon a time someone (hotdog?) saying that the parts should be cooked anyway.

That figure is going to be such great custom fodder. Every part of it except the head is useful. The flesh colored arms and legs open up a lot of potential for doing a proper Zanya and Heartwrencher customs as well as many other application. The body is thin with no details making it a...

I'll try heating the molds, thank you.

How do you get your resin to cure? My resin curing gets messed up when put into a pressure pot. It's supposed to set in 1 hour which it does normally. If I demold after 1 hour after taking it from a pressure pot it's still a goo. I left one batch in the pot over night and it was still tacky...

Modern Low-Light from Sunbow. Once I find my dremel I will polish up the elbows that I sanded the flesh paint off of. I had no plans to do this custom, but I got a 30th Viper in a lot that I gave the gear to Mercer so had a Viper body not in use. I also had the Marauders Low-Light in my fodder...

Wooooo, my order has been shipped. I can finally finish a couple customs.

This figure's demand has to drop at some point right? So people stop cleaning out every one they see, even if they don't want it, because of it's perceived value. I got the 3 I wanted for the Twins and Colton, but would like more for less priority customs.

Leatherneck in Sunbow attire. Originally the base uniform was from several different figures and the green matched on all of them so I wasn't going to paint the base. But the figure didn't have thigh straps which I didn't like and there was no figure with matching green that had them. So I...

I'm sure I'll end up there eventually. Which will annoy me because I just finished a custom figure tonight which is missing a head coming from Broken Arrow.

Not that it's a surprise, but it's been 4 months since I've ordered from Broken Arrow with no word.

It's no secret that the Deep Six figure is next to worthless. I wanted a useable Deep Six and had planned on using the Sunbow design. However I recently discovered the Marvel design which is much more unique. The custom was very simple. I only painted the hat, waist, and upper legs. The...

I'm happy with the way the part came together. Except for the webgear that I'm going to need to cut down and glue because it keeps shifting. And the lack of sleeve cuffs. What I don't like about this custom is that I had to 100% paint it. I avoid painting at all costs, but it couldn't be...

I'm picky. Plus I've never seen a Joe Colton in stores. I have an idea on how to cast the arms. I'll experiment with it next week.

Forgot about some of the newer figures. Same arms as Footloose and Kwinn(?). I think they are too bulky though for most customs.

Ever try Joe arms and legs? Specifically the 5-pack Lady Jaye arms and the ROC Hawk arms (the non gloved ones). Those LJ arms were only used on the 5-pack LJ and the Night Force LJ, both figures are too valuable to chop up for those great generic female arms. And that Hawk is the only figure...

There has been several NVA and VC that have gone for the starting price of $10 on eBay recently.

I've taken to doing digital customs and am slowly improving on it. Here is my first really completed custom. A South East Asian Warrior (Viet Cong).

Nah, she was too stupid to make the journey.
