Guys, I finally broke my wife's nerd barrier down and got her into my hobby. It was so fun hearing her complain about all things we put up with: "This is taking too many coats! My neck hurts! I keep having to touch up colors after touching up other colors!" Ahhhh, good times! When I was a kid, my Mom would buy superhero coloring books for us, and she always colored the characters differently to be fashionable. This is how I got my wife hooked. Too bad there isn't a figure with a COACH purse, she'd be in heaven! Shamrock Spidey

It's only a matter of time before she's posting regularly on the board, right Florida? Anyway, I think this is a good way for her to get her feet wet with customing, and before long maybe she'll be better than you. And for a first time customer, she did a pretty good paint job too.

Well...better than ME?? I don't know, maybe if she practices some more if I were to break my hands or...I don't know...2012 and the Mayan calendar??
*She's laughing at me as I type*
"#2 is in the works as we speak."...and..."Thank you for the kind words!"

OK, I guess she took my smart@ss comments as a challenge cause this figure makes me look like I'm customizing with finger paints! IMO. She presents... Jackpot! (with highlights for Pete's sake!!)

Yeah, I'd feel really horrible if I didn't know she was originally an Art major. Thank Heavens she got smart and went into the sciences instead! More money means more toys! And early retirement for moi.
Recipe Head: Black Widow, Arms: Cover Girl, Torso/Legs: Baroness (movie), Grappling Hook; random parts bin Jackpot is a newer character from Spider-Man...she has a 3-part Dark Reign mini where she battles a new Boomerang and Rose. (Rose would make a cool custom. Oh waitaminute....)

Yaya: Maybe we could work a trade for your latest custom...ohwaitaminute...you haven't done any in over a month!! What's the deal man!?! Why you holding out on us? You showcase something as sweet as the Iron League then bug out. Not cool brosef. How long can it take to make a treehouse??

You showcase something as sweet as the Iron League then bug out. Not cool brosef. How long can it take to make a treehouse?? I like the anticipation to build and then under deliver. And it was a rope swing ! I couldn't get to the branch with a ladder so i had to throw a rock tied to fishing line up into the tree over the branch i wanted (not as easy as it sounds). I only have like 30 minutes a day for hobby stuff so my SHS customs have gotten behind. The stuff i'm working on now requires sanding, priming, and sculpting. The colors are black (because he's dark) white (because she's light) and red-white (i don't know why he chose those colors). Thanks for lighting a fire tho FB. See ya!
