It's Great to See Customizing Become...

[Reginald Rutledge]

a viable part of the hobby!

I have been fortunate to be inspired by the Jon Thomases, Dirk Thomases, Jay Boys, and Larry Walkers of the world but for some of them that have passed, they would be absolutely overwhelmed with joy of the strides made in customizing.

I have been a longtime champion of customizing and have seen the benefits well past miniature football. It is great to have customizers ringing me up wanting knowledge of how to do certain things as they have come to educate themselves on what I do. Yes, the DVDs are very instructional as I show the insights on how to do things that most would horde with a lock and key.

I think it is great to see the creations of many customizers and you should take pride in your ability to envision beyond the stock poses. There is no doubt that your work is definitely taking the hobby to a whole new level and this will continue to grow as more guys begin to show their work.

I salute you who have no been afraid to show your work and hope that you know that you inspire others to do so as well (even if they don't say it publicly).
