Whats the best project for a new customizer?
I get asked this a lot, particularly from the younger crowd. As with learning any new skill, it requires a lot of patience and determination. You can’t expect a masterpiece the first time around, so don’t get frustrated if your first customs aren’t up to the levels you were hoping for. I always recommend starting with a simple project, such as a headswap or a simple repaint. Perhaps the easiest approach is by making a “Batman Unmasked” piece. You can remove the original masked head, and replace it with one that looks similar to Bruce Wayne. You might also take a figure that has a fairly generic sculpt with minimal details and repaint it into The Flash. It’s these simple projects that will get you going, and as you grow in confidence you can begin experimenting with different and more challenging techniques. If you’re not sure about a particular approach, then experiment on a ‘junk’ figure to test the results first. A lot of this whole customizing process is learned by making mistakes,
