I swear it's not that hard to do. I'd be happy to give you any pointers. All you really need is the right tools. When I first started, my early work was comical. Just try starting small, do a simple repaint or swap body parts. You'd be amazed how much more enjoyment you get from this hobby once you have your own, one of a kind, custom figure. Then it gets out of control and takes over your life and before you know it, your house is full of toys and your gf wonders when it will end. I tell her I'm having my GI Joes burried with me like the thousands of soldier statues that were burried with the emperor of China. MWAHAHHAAAHAAAA!!!!!!
