Showoff your FIRST custom

[starwarsgeek]

OK, after this thread (http://www.procustomizers.com/showthread.php?t=2964) by Overhaulimus (I'm not picking on you dude, I just thought this would be a good idea) I thought it might be cool to show off your first - or at least some very early - custom figures that you made.

I don't have any pics of my very very first figures (I don't think photography was invented just yet :rolleyes: ) but here are some photos of some figures that I did when I started getting back into customizing...

I'd like to think that I've improved a little since these back in '06/'07

So, show us what you were doing at the start, and let's see how far your work has come!

Sadly,I do not have any pics of my Star Wars customs anymore,I had a harddrive crash sometime ago on my old computer and I lost them in the crash.

my first custom was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJCphqwvYNs&feature=related i made it in like 3rd grade

[frenzyrumble]

my first custom was a fluke, as a newb taking commissions, I asked for nothing as a down payment. when it was time to pay up, the guy flaked on me. Regardless, it was the first I sold on ebay, and ended up making more off ebay than the original commission price ;)

I figured we'd get a thread like this and it's a good one. I wonder if fellow SW customizer Chewie still has pictures of his very first custom?

Anyway, here's my first custom, made in April '06. Hasbro's Marine wasn't in sights at all back then, so I decided to take matters in my own hands:

I remember my son complained I RUINED his Brawl.
I had to buy him a new one :)

[InFluenc3]

This was my first custom early last summer. Not very but I've improve tenfold during the time. In case your wondering, that's my girlfriend doing a quick review on it for an eBay auction.

Here he is. ROTF Ironhide. He's the one I popped my cherry on. He's got tons of brush strokes and the paint is super thick.

My first was a Nemesis Prime. I'm lucky I took some crappy photos so you can't see how bad the paint aps are.

[formula93]

My first one was a classics grimlock.

I haven't gotten that much better since this, but I kinda cringe when I see it. Still, it sold for $75 bucks, so somebody liked it.
