I'm new to the forum, and this is where I'm posting first (having just checked out nearly one hundred pages of fun and greatness), because this is my kind of thread! Not least 'cause it starts off with photos of a figure I've always wanted:

Geez, everybody...

This thread is full of win... and toys I wish I owned... and stunning examples of custom paint skills I wish I had.

I'll share some of my photos here in a minute, if I don't fall asleep first. I am exhausted now!
