    Do you customize in other scales?

    still working on my first MEGO customs.

    I have a lot of 12" stuff but never hooked up with other 1/6 folks on the net.

    I'm getting interested in 3 3/4. Lots of sculpting and mold making . ( not so much sewing ) I did look at a GI Joe 3 3/4 site and saw a LOT of very detailed massive dioramas set up. ( all Cobra of course )

    Are you interested in other scales too ?

    I first started customizing 6", DC Direct style figures. I still do them from time to time, but I prefer working with a line that is no longer in production, so I don't finish a figure then see one produced. At least, that was the case before the Mattel Retro line came out. I've done a few JLU/Animated customs. They're nice because of the limited articulation.

        Laurie, do you have pics of your 1/6 and vinyl work on your website? I looked for them and didn't see any.

                I love customizing in the 3-3/4 inch scale. I'm finishing up a custom STAR WARS Boba Fett action figure that I started up in the fall.

                              I used to customize in 3 3/4 scale - had some Galoob Next gen figures that were much more 'screen accurate" than what was produced...
                              but that was many years ago. Haven't done anything recent in that scale.
