I am a 30+ year old that lives in Northern California, USA. I grew up playing with Lego (and many other toys). As I got older I moved away from Lego and started playing with role playing games (RPG's) like D&D, TMNT, and RIFTS which transitioned into Warhammer 40k. I fell in love with the miniatures and painting them and customizing them.

Then life happened, like college, ladies (one who I was lucky enough to trick into marrying me) and work. I did restart collecting Lego when the Star Wars Lego series started. Slowly I have become more addicted to the collection and recently transitioned into posting my MOC's (previously kept to myself, and sadly not even photographed in many cases). I have always loved Star Wars (100+ novels read not including comics) and I came across Flickr with the Lego MOC's and customs.

I decided to start posting and got inspired to do customizations for mini-figs. I am by no means a purist. I love to model and I feel that making modifications with epoxy putty or clay makes it that much more fun. Though I do try to make it obvious it is still a Lego mini-fig. Lego cannot afford to make all the pieces that I want, so why not do our best to create them ourselves?

Hope you enjoy my creations. Take a look around and please comment. I am always interested in peoples impressions...constructive impressions of course are preferred. :o)
