Thanks! I haven't visited the fwoosh as much as I intended. Seems like I hang out here more.

Wanted to do something relatively simple after the last few customs so I took a break and made Jeffrey Graves, the modern Mister America, I'd been intending to do him for quite a while so now seemed like a good time. Chalk up another for the JSA!

Thanks. Tip to anyone, if you need to put green Steppenwolf's lower legs onto another figure, do yourself a favor and just slice the knee pads off in the back then reattach them after swapping the legs. Man, what a pain it was trying to get those damn pegs in right. Finally just cut them off after wasting too much time. Easy after that. Lesson learned, lol.

Haha, sounds like you had your work cut out for you with those legs, Packer. As I said before, that looks great. Very clean job and the stars were painted excellently! :batgrin:

Hey, where is that Amos Fortune you were working on. I need something to compliment. I picked up an old issue of Justice League of America and now i wanna start on a classic Despero, just as soon as i finish the other four/ five I am working on and not finishing. :hhlol:
I picked up Jack Knight and I am thinking Vigilante, d'you think that's doable?

He's kind of in limbo right now. Almost done but not quite. I had a couple people with commissions I need to work on right now, and with the new baby, my times been very limited if late.

I hear ya, mostly just wanted to give you a bad time. I just liked the fact that you were making him. I am all about the characters nobody else has done.

I guess I have to finish him then, huh? I actually started a Star-Spangled Kid alongside a Count Vertigo I've been making for someone. Maybe once they're done I'll just finish him up.
