A Quick Note

I feel a little guilty posting my older customs...I always feel like I should being creating new output to share. But inspiration has been a bit sparse lately. In a way, looking through the old folders of custom photos on my computer has allowed me to re-evaluate my older custom figures, and I'm finding much that I enjoy. The large scale vehicle projects really do a number on me...the AT-AT being my second most ambitious (second only to the Indiana Jones flying wing), and it totally tapped me of all my resolve. You really have to be committed to a project of that scale to see it through...if you don't, then it sits there on your workbench taunting you (believe me, I know how crazy that sounds...but its true). The figures are shorter projects though...but I mined my favorite subjects years ago, and never really could bring myself to return to many of them for a second go around. A few figures and character have been revisited multiple times (stormtroopers, Batman, and a few others), but usually when I burn through a character, that's it. Also, custom figure making for me became almost automatic...the challenge of the process sort of disappeared, and I was spinning my wheels with the same techniques. I think I may need to reset my approach in some way to see if I can make it fun again.
