Alley-cat Blues

Take nearly anything I enjoy and make a robot out of it and I'll love it even more.  So naturally when the new TMNT show was announced, I was excited to see a revamp of one of my favorite characters: Metalhead.  So far he's only been in one episode, but that still warranted him an action figure.  While his articulation is a little lacking, (no elbows or ankles, really?) the overall sculpt is great and updated the character's look well.  The paint work, (or lack thereof) and the other hand .....

Left a little something to be desired

Let's see see how I went about transforming this figure into one worthy of the name Metalhead.

Turtles in Time

As a child of the 80's and 90's, I have always been a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. And while I love nearly every incarnation (except maybe The Next Mutation), the original 1987 cartoon series will always be my favorite and have a special place in my heart.

My childhood,basically.

Humble Beginnings ... Very Humble Beginnings

Welcome to the Toy Shed, a site where I will be displaying my custom action figure projects in greater detail, including work-in-progress pictures, motivations, inspirations, and techniques.  I really enjoy doing this custom work, and I greatly appreciate your time in looking through my projects.

I thought I'd start with my first projects, which means that we are going back many, many years.
