Hello! My first post- where to put it??

[LittleBuddiesActionFigure]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to introduce myself, but here I go anyway! I'm new to posting, but I have been looking around for some time. There's so much great information and talented people here. I've been sculpting custom action figures for a few years now, but I still have a lot I'd like to learn. One of my goals is learning about making molds and casting. All of my work so far has been one of a kind pieces, which I really enjoy doing. However, I'd like to take more time on some special projects and make molds of my work with the idea of eventually being able to offer these to other members. Something I'm currently working on in my spare time is a sculpt of Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister in The Game of Thrones. I'd like to make all of the actors in that series eventually. I'm also a seamstress and sew all my action figures' outfits. I really like making unique accessories and dioramas too.

Ahh, another thing I'd really like to learn is how to make 1:9 custom shoes. I have some methods, but I bet someone else knows a better technique than I. I'll be posting about that soon.

Anyway, I look forward to being a more active member here! Thanks,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,
Welcome to the custom boards of the Mego Museum. My name is Dino. I enjoy (as well as many others here) sculpting and making my own Mego dolls. I hope you find the Mego Museum as fun and helpful as I have.

Hey Dawn,

Welcome aboard! Always good to have a new customizer who has fresh ideas and techniques to share.

I'm sure you will learn a lot from the great people here, and we will learn much from you.

It is a great customizing community to be sure.

Thank you everyone! I feel very welcome now.

Wayne, thanks, the Batman was super fun to make. It was for someone's brother, a big Batman fan, for his birthday.

Piecemaker and Thunderbolt, thanks! I'll post more Jonny pics soon. I also have some pics on my website, as well as the rest of the Jonny Quest gang.

Jim, you always make me blush! Thanks for the welcome.

Hi, Dawn. Welcome to the Museum. Your work looks great!

I myself have gone a little nutty on Game of Throne customs, so I am definitely excited to see what you come up with for Dinklage as Tyrion.
