Hi everyone, I'm Leah. I'm generally just a lurker on this board, but I recently finished up my first G2 LPS custom, an otter, and I'm rather proud of him, so I thought I'd go ahead and post a pic. My only complaint is that I couldn't get a photo that shows the 'fur' I sculpted too clearly, but oh well. He started life as a bait condition bunny that I found at a thrift store: I also just completed my first G1 LPS custom, a Cardinal, and thought I might as well go ahead and share him too. I collect mainly G1s, and have acquired a lot of pets in poor condition, which wait in a box for me to hopefully give them all new life as customs, someday. This Cardinal was made from a bait Zoo Jungle Bunch bird that had broken feet (which is a common flaw for them), and I was just practicing to see if I could redo the feet on the little bit of plastic that was left (I was worried that the legs/feet wouldn't be stable enough, but they turned out pretty good). I still need to make him some sort of perch. Finally, my wonderful husband has been working on a G2 dragon custom for me in his spare time, and he thinks it's pretty much done now (besides needing a coat of sealant eventually...he just hasn't gotten around to that yet). He put a lot of time into the sculpting and making sure the details were done to his liking, meticulously painting each of the little scales...I think it's just amazing! ;D I believe he used an iguana to make this. Thank you so much for letting me share pics of our customs with you all! --Leah
