    Custom Resources, Links, Shops, Tutorials, Galleries are at Custommego.com

    We've had a few questions recently regarding where custom related things can be found, so I thought I'd post this as information to new members and as a reminder to others as well.

    CustoMego is the MegoMuseum Custom section where all things Custom related are stored and archived. Here you will find

    Customizer of the Month Interviews
    Customizer Galleries
    Tutorials
    Resources including emblems, cardbacks, etc...
    Links to Shops
    Customizing tricks and more.

    If you have something to add, please contact me. We always want to continue to add links, tutorials, resources, galleries and such to help continue to make the section a one stop information source for all things CustoMego.

    Thanks!

      Those were part of the customblog, which is now gone. We never got around to transfering those over since most are now included in the individual customizer galleries.

        Is it safe to put an existing mego head in the oven in order to add features for the pupose of customizing, or to put it another way lets say I wanted to alter a Richie Cunningham head, and wanted to add features to it. Could I put the head with the extra features I added with sculpey in the oven without melting the plastic.

                  Okay, I'll say it. I miss Custom Spotlight! Any chance of getting that back? I can't speak for everyone but I know for me it was nice to see AND it was motivation for me really doing my best to make something cool.

                    My feelings exactly! The spotlight always provided me with a constant source of inspiration, and pushed me to be that much better as a customizer. I'd love to see it's return

                      Not working in Firefox right now but I checked IE and there are pix there. Firefox has no pix. I was expecting a movie.

                      I also wanted to say that this is a cool section.

                        Police hat

                        Anybody know where I could find a standard police hat for an 8 inch figure? All the Swat guys had helmets.

                          I would suggest a hair dryer on high if it's small pieces. That's what I used to do many moons ago. I think I found that tip here waaaaayyyyy back when. Or in Toyfare.

                            I found the same thing when I went to print out patterns, either too big or a bit on the small side. My solution - I use Abobe Photodeluxe and create a new file with the same resolution as the pattern file the, under view click show rulers then copy/paste the pattern in the new file, move the ruler in the pattern up to the ruler for the whole file and expand or shrink until the pattern ruler matches the same size on the new file ruler. Hope this makes sense if not I'll try to explain further or post some photos.

                              Check out Dr. Mego's Heads and Helmets page, he has police hat.
