This is for any customizers out there who are willing to give everyone a sneak peak at what you're working on, and maybe a description of what you did. (Only work in progress pics, please: unpainted customs. Please save your finished products for your gallery thread.) I'll start. Please feel free to leave feedback. First, a Koala. I originally wanted to make a Stitch using this head, but couldn't deny the fury-perfect-for-a-koala-ears. I used a kitty body. I cut off the teeth of a plastic alligator and super-glued 'em on as claws. My husband sculpted the nose using Apoxie-Sculpt. Next is a Cow. I used a bird head, pig body, tail from a Lion King Pumba tail, piglet ears, and a dollar store cow bell. I sculpted the snout, mouth, and hair using Apoxie Sculpt. My husband drilled the nostrils in with a dremel, and added detail to the hair.

this is a good idea for a section to have on here. Koalas are not bears though, they are koalas, not koala bears!

AWWWW A stitch would be sooooo cute!!!! I didn't come up with the Stitch idea. I saw several on eBay, and wanted to take a stab at it. Thank you for your compliments. (We need a "blushing" smiley face.) Koalas are not bears though, they are koalas, not koala bears! I thought Koala bear sounded wrong. I would've put 'em on eBay as a custom Koala bear, and looked like a fool. But not anymore, thanks to you. What would I do without y'all? Thanks.

Snake. Mike, my husband, did all the work on putting this one together. The Seahorse's tail was unraveled, and fins cut off. The "bobble" mechanism of a kitty was removed and secured in the head of a McD's LPS Salamander.

It's really good how you have the actual shapes of the animals not like lots of the other customs that are repainted but don't have the proper body shape of the new animal.

Thanks everyone. You're making my day! Your encouragement is appreciated. MorningShadow: Yes, all my customs are eBay bound.
How should we paint the snake? I was thinking a coral snake would be pretty. (Red,Black,Yellow) And should I add a forked tongue? The cow will be white with black spots. And the koala - gray and white. Any other ideas?

A forked tongue would look great on the snake
