So here I sit at my workbench, putting the finishing touches on my latest custom figure...
At the folding table next to me, my 7-year old son is painting furiously at his own interpretation of Firefly. He's got the desire, but not the patience... yet. Firefly has got a lot of red and blue on him. My 6-year old daughter, who possesses a wee bit more concentration, has my custom Iron Grenadier Baroness standng in front of her and is trying to reproduce the paint job I did on that figure. She picked up an RoC Baroness back when they were on clearance for 88 cents and told me that she was planning this. I can't tell you how cool it is that they want to sit in my basement workshop and paint action figures with me. |

That is too awesome. When I have a kid, I hope he has a passion for Joes, too, because he's going to be getting a lot of them! Also I need a basement workshop.

My friends daughter helped me put on my first coat on the Hiss wheels. She did a good job.

I lucked out and it was there when we moved into the house. I just had to fill the room up with my Star Wars stuff. It was much later that I got into Joes again.

I didn't think my daughter would like Joes (she just turned 5), but one day I came home and she had stripped the flight suit from ROC Firefly, added cobra trooper shoulder straps with Major Bludd back pack and Snake Eyes' sword and Uzi, It's probably my favorite fig now

Here is a link to the first customs attempted by my little critters: DnJcustoms' Blog: Custom Figures by my Kids
There was a bit of "clean-up" painting done by me, but only a little and only because they asked for the help. |

1.) Thats wonderful. Everyone talks about 'quality time' but you can't just schedule that - it has to come out of the 'quantity of time.'
2.) I checked out the link. I was duly impressed - your children are much more talented than me. As 31 year old I'm not quite sure how I feel yet about this new low in my life. |

Awesome man - my boys love to customize with me...especially since I supply all the parts. We had a kids custom contest here last year that my boys got some sweet prizes. Maybe their will be another. I will try to find the link.
