The Wonder Woman kit is one I really wanted as a kid and never found. I don't know if it didn't sell well or if the molds were somehow compromised or if they were melted down by Monogram, but either way, the kit had a very short shelf life and was gone forever. Almost forever, as it turns out. Moebius re-issued the kit 45 or so years later and I was able to get one. Oh, happy day! Now, the really odd part. As much as I wanted the kit and want it on my shelf, I still have not gotten around to building it. However, once I do build it, I will have a picture of it here.

A lot of what I have I would call a "basic" custom. A basic custom is a head swap with the basic gear I want the figure to have. This has turned into one of my favorite areas of the hobby. I just love making more figures. I am not a sculptor, but I do add the occasional beard or two, and nothing seems to be able to keep me away from the paint pot. I get my inspiration from movies, tv shows, comics, websites, ebay, you name it. If you see something here you think was inspired by your work, which is entirely possible, send me a line and I will give you credit. If you can send me a good image I will post it with your information. If you sell customs through a site or ebay or something, I will be more than happy to list that info as well.
Here are a couple of my custom cavalry figures. I have at least one more, but he is part of the Lone Ranger inspired customs so he has to wait a bit to be posted.

Nartana, Apache Scout
I think this guy looks as much like an Apache scout as most of the ones I have seen in the movies.
Sergeant Ethan Andrews
Every cavalry unit needs a good NCO to keep the troops in line.
