Tools of the Trade (FAQ).

[aguycollector]

There seems to be a steady growth of people who want to try customizing LPS on these boards ;D.

To make the boards a little tidier and to make it easier for customizers the mods will be creating a special sticky "Frequently Asked Questions" thread for custom related inquiries.

Hopefully the FAQ will make it easier to find the answer you are looking for and reduce excess threads.

So, I am calling all customizers to post questions they you have been frequently asked whether on the boards or in PM. If you are curious about customizing LPS don't be afraid to post your question(s) as well .

However, let's keep the questions to something specific such as "What kind of paints do you use?" and avoid questions that are more tutorial related, such as "Where do I begin?" or "How do I paint eyes?" Not that there is anything wrong with those questions, but those will probably go in a tutorial related thread.

I am just looking for questions right now and will be gathering answers at a later time.

Not all questions will be posted in the FAQ, but remember there are NO STUPID QUESTIONS.

Post and ask away
