    I'm Customizing again...

    I haven't been terribly active (customizing and/or posting) in a while (I apologize), school has kept me very busy, but I recently started customizing again, I was very inspired by yokaijohn's D&D customs from a while back (Nice work, YJ!).

    I used a chain mail suit, Ivanhoe helmet, black pirate boots, a black sword belt and a robin hood sword all from the CTVT website. I also used a Paul Morrow head, some old buttons, fabric and silver vinyl pieces for armor. He is my first custom Mego in a couple years (I think)...

    Strongheart...











    Toy art for comparison...



    I have already started on a Mercion custom and I have plans for Kelek, Warduke and Ringlerun. I hope to get a few done before school starts up again. I'll share pics as I go.

          Thanks guys, I wish I had some sort of custom box to put him in...He may get smooshed in storage. I added a photo in my first post of the Strongheart toy art for those who don't know who he is.

            Hit up Mego73 on the forums here. He makes absolutely fantastic repro boxes.

              I'll check his stuff out, Thank you, Chris. I may have seen his work before, but I'm drawing a blank.

                    Paul Morrow was a terrific choice.
