I have only done one custom figure and it's an Adam West style Batman.It's not very good but I love it all the same. But it's the first Custom and we all gotta start somewhere.Now you'll be needing a Robin for your Batman. ;D Great to have you on board Andy!

We would love to see some pictures of your first batman custom Andy, whether you feel it good or bad, IMO they are all cool to look at. Probably my first Mego custom was Jason from Friday 13th and the sculpt is terrible, the clothes are trecherous and over all it is a somewhat Crude looking custom. But! as FB pointed out, we all have to start somewhere and I make no apologies for my attempts good or bad and niether should you or anybody else. Welcome aboard Andy (Apeaholic) Will

Thanks guys. It's very encouraging to hear stuff like this from talented guys like yourselves.
I'm reworking Mr.West's BAT-SUIT at the moment because I don't like the way it fits.I will gladly send along a pic when he is put back together though.
I was lucky enough to get many tips from Mart(MartinGB) on painting and just about everything else before starting out. Mart's painting skills are just brilliant and his own Adam West turned out truly incredible.

Hi Dave, let me be the first to welcome you to the group. You're West & Ward figures were so great looking that they not only gained our attention, they also recieved a nice buz on at least 1 other forum which I lurk, luckily one of my Pals on there got your contact info before you're ebay got yanked and passed it onto me. We all look forward to seeing your your work and hearing your comments around the boards. ps. we love seeing pictures whether of completes or top secret WIPs. ;D Enjoy. Will

Hey everyone!
My name is Bruce (aka glorbes), and I've been customizing for about three years now. I've mainly posted at the Fwoosh and Iron Cow forums previously, but was thrilled by the Bat-focus of this board and the incredible talent showcased here.
DC is by far my favorite universe with regard to customizing, but I've dabbled in Marvel as well. Batman and his compatriots and villains make up the great majority of my stuff. Can't wait to share my work and trade feedback.
Thanks for welcoming me into this wonderful little corner of the web.
