    Definitely wish I had a pressure pot. Oh and one of those newfangled 3D printers sure would be nice for rendering out some custom heads and body parts

        I can do hand-sewing.., still haven't talked my Mrs into doing any machine sewing.

        Eye painting would be cool.., haven't done it, but with practice it shouldn't be that hard.

        Just wish I would have finished that year at 'Patricia Stevens Finishing School' before I joined the Infantry at Fort Benning, GA..

          I find it a little difficult personally that I have next to zero skill doing this custom stuff. Yet I can travel all over the world installing millions of dollars of industrial equipment and it be a piece of cake!!! Still trying to make a Star Trek 2 outfit LOL

          On a side note… I also find it odd no one in Hong Kong knows anything about mego toys

                I wish I could sculpt better, and have a better shop area with all the goodies for casting and vacuum forming.

                              I wish I could sew, paint, and sculpt. But I'm good at kitbashing, t-shirt paints, iron-ons (for emblems), and I do mostly my own backer card design.
