    My Very First Custom (Flash)

    This is my very first attempt at a custom figure...and not the last. A big thank you to Maureen (z3zep) for the head. I painted the head from scratch myself. Everything else was ordered from CTVT (which is why the body won't stand up).

    I know Flash is pretty basic to make, but it was a huge deal for me, so here he is...

    Great start to your custom career Brown Bear....the fact that it doesn't stand actually makes him look like he's just switched down a gear from super flash fast to mere mortal speeds....excellent paint job...look forward to your next venture.

      Indeed a good one to get started with, to get to feel of things, painting a head, working with custom emblems, ... Before you know it you'll be sewing your own suits

                      Very nice job.The only thing I would change is the body but you already know that.That sure is a sweet flash,and on a side note; it is better than the one I don't have!!!

                        Cool, dig the head. Like BK said restring him with some elastic, it'll work much better.

                              BB,

                              For some reason, I didn't see this post when I was here before....my fault for being here sporadically and skimming too ineffectively.

                              NICE job on your first custom! I do like his Mego-esque ness! Great! I'm interested to see your future work.
                              I LOVE CHEESECAKE!!!sigpic
