Since this is my first time submitting a custom, I figured that I should start with the first custom that I ever made. I made this Wolverine figure shortly after the release of the first X-Men movie. I had to have a Wolverine that was the same scale and articulated like my Joes. I got this crazy idea that I could make my own. This was before I knew that there was a thing called customizing.

My answer to paint chipping was to cover the painted parts with a thin layer of two part epoxy. This gave it a glossy finish, but at least the paint would never come off. Since this first custom I have made a huge collection of 3 3/4 inch customs of characters from Star Trek, He-Man, Marvel and DC comics. My techniques have advanced quite a bit since this custom and I'm happy to have a place to share them with others.
