Ok, so I was thinking. I know, bad habit to begin this late in life, but....
I had to clean out most of the pics and folders on the photobucket account to make room for newer stuff, and I also have been attempting to refine my photography skills, I hope with some success. But instead of taking new pics of the majority of the collections, I was wondering if it would be better if members posted "requests" here if there is a particular figure they would like a closer look at, or would like to have reposted. Then, I could post one pic and the link here, and not clutter up the customs thread, saving new threads for new projects and such. Any thoughts?

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about! In the last pic, due to high camera zoom and dust, it looks like there is slight protofeathery type flaments growing out of it's skin..... ;D

Could I see a closer shot of the newer carnegie tylosaurus? I believe it had a shark or something in its mouth.

I use cheap acrylic craft paint. About a buck a bottle at craft stores like Michaels. I seal it with Testors dullcoat spray.

I don't know if it is the Arizona heat or what, but I can't get the enamels to dry properly on the pvc toys. They never dry completely and remain tacky to the touch. That is why I went to the acryls, and the cost, of course.
