I don't do a lot of customs, but I remember taking that tiny screw out the first time I repaired an O-ring. When I was younger I would change pants when someone had an accident and joined the BCB (Broken Crotch Brigade). Lost thumbs would only bother me when they were a favorite, and they didn't happen that often. As long as they had one thumb, they could hold a weapon and the "damaged" hand could be posed toward holding the clip.

I swap out heads and switch parts around, mostly to give current characters a wardrobe update, but occasionally to create a new character. I'm not too much into painting/dremeling.

Although I did do a badly wounded soldier that I will post some day. He's a mess though, probably would rate him PG-13. I feel disturbed when I see him.

Well, I guess I would say I'm obsessed with customs, but have yet to put one together that's actually usable or cohesive.

After I finished army building (very brief period), I started buying figures I wanted to use for customs... and that's all I do now. So I have a rather massive pile of figures that have parts I want to use.

Unfortunately, my preoccupation with custom figures does not mix well with my packrat obsession, which will absolutely not allow me to permanently use a part from one figure on another, even if I have multiples... so I had to get into molding and casting, which derailed my custom aspirations.

I'm still climbing that particular learning curve, but my successes are finally catching up with my failures, and soon my technique will be refined to the point where the results will actually become useful.

THEN... yes, I will do customs.
