    My experience has been that, however talented, hobbyists will cast what they want to cast or sew what they want to sew. Inspiration is not always equal to perspiration, and money is not always the ultimate consideration. Also, the initial effort of developing & fine-tuning a good pattern is considerable and can be off-putting.

    That said, I think we're very lucky to have stitch-smiths like T. & Brian here. Good tailoring at 1:1 scale is challenging; at 1:9 much, much, more so. Sam rightly notes how they have worked (& re-worked) their clothing to improve quality & detail.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      His customs are on his website and in the custom forum, but what I admire most about Brian is that he really doesn't sit still and is constantly improving and innovating on what he's done previously.

        Those are two of my favorite shows and I skipped buying the BBP figures because of how they look. It's unfortunate how those lines turned out IMO.
