My customs section was pushed back all the way to the second of January...  Officially, I'm picking this up, dusting it off, and placing it back in a spot of honor...  I have A LOT of customs I did that I've neglected to post.  Look forward to them tomorrow.

Great work and looking forward to seeing what you have done.

Hey guys,

        I recieved a figure in the mail today, and right as I set him up, I noticed his torso joint was really loose.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  (This is the first time it's happened to me, and it's pretty bad, to the point where it sways around like a bobble-head if you shake it.  It's the purple Fi Skirata Commando Fig, if that helps)

Never mind about that cry for help, earlier.  I managed to cut a small enough, thick enough piece of paper that I wedged into the gap to create friction.  This way, it moves like a regular figure without any of the "looseness" that I was experiencing earlier.

Well, guys, I haven't been able to work on a custom in months (seeing as I think my paint work ruins good figures, since it is poor quality paint to begin with...).  I have, however, made one of those "parts mix-up" clones, the type of custom you just put random pieces on.  If you're familiar with Major Twelve of Hawkbat Battalion, this is supposed to be my rendering of him.  (Please stay post-poned a few minutes while I take some pics.)

I'm happy with how my new camera's turning out; the pics are SO much better, but, the battery life drops rapidly...     I'll have to pick up heavy duty batteries, or specialty ones for cameras (from Duracell, I believe).  Anyhow, this post shouldn't be about cameras or batteries, lol.  Here's Major Twelve, Hawkbat Battalion (my personal rendering.)

Major Twelve and then-Captain Deviss

New camera is looking like it's doing real well for you!  Sharp images of some sharp customs, my man.

Padme cloak and a helmet "pad" from a certain AT-TE Gunner?  Sharp look!

and BRAVOBRAVOBRAVO on the new camera!!!  Your pics are GREAT now!!  I highly recommend you set up a simple backdrop (or three) an go back through your customs and reshoot them with the new camera and repost them.

Somehow I knew you'd say something like that, lol.  (For the AT-TE Gunner...)  Believe it or not, I actually got the cloak and the helmet pad from a friend of mine, along with a Blue AT-RT Driver; all it cost me was an Imperial Knight and an Astromech Droid.  As for the customs, I'm getting new paints, and touching up ALL of them, even the staff figures.  The paints I use now I get from Wal-mart, and they're terrible; I highly recommend against them...
