Default Ok got my figs and supplies

and have started to customize. I started off with an easy pose just to see if I could see what the other guys saw, and guess what......I SEE SAID THE BLIND MAN!!! I was cutting and hacking away, watching my dvd ( Reg you gotta do something about the computer voice - drives me nuts ) and bending and molding and dipping in ice water and ........you get the picture. I hope to post the first installment tonight so be gentle with the feedback, you don't want to crush the dreams of an aspiring customizer.

Default Your world of customizing will open up

Coach,

Educate yourself on the different poses and then you can talk the language. A lot of the customizers of the FF.Net communicate by simply stating what body part is used from what fire with some other body part.

Those guys have become well-versed at the language. Then it becomes very easy to create poses based on that. The videos are just a basic walk-through of various poses that we create. The beauty of the video is that it will make you think of other poses from the basics.

One thing I do often times is I look at one of my NFL DVDs and simply pause it at any moment in time and re-create that player which is usually in some action stance. This is where I get most of the 1500 poses that I have done. Every stop of the DVD is an instant pose.

So get accustom to how to do it and it will become a drug. It is relaxing, therapeutic, and inspiring to create players in your own image.

Default We are working on the computer voice

I am a technology "geek" by trade so I love adding high-tech things into my presentation of miniature football. Also, when you talk like me, , trust me, this computer-generated voice is a huge step up!

However, I will be exploring other formats once these videos come out.
