Awesome - but please can you post your customs in the proper forums? Otherwise they won't get added to the main site archives.

In a nutshell The Baron, no. You want the long answer? Ok you asked..
I've been posting on this collections page for about a month now..I've got a comfy firefight shaped groove made and everything. I'm building up a small but loyal F.F.F fanbase; they know precisely where it is, whom it's by, when it is and that it's going to be fanciful. If I put this in the customs section it takes away some of the surprise, some of the danger; this is like a box of chocolates with the missing insert, you never know what you're going to get exactly, could be a dreaded coffee creme or something delicious (probably a Cobra custom).
You see Baz, this is my collection (well some of it is just musings and rude pictures) that I just happened to slap some paint on. Ohz I know I can't compete with the great and powerful collectors on here such as the likes of Graham_UK and (to a much lesser extent) SteveD but I'm coming at it from a different trajectory to them.(you better believe it ladies ;) ) My Cobra unit is getting bigger each week and things are steadily building to a climax, don't worry Baz you'll get your money shot. ;)
heck you might even get a beer if I ever sell that Lego..

That Lancehead looks great mate. I think the light grey works really well.

It wasn't actually a request.

In retort, I've been doing this forum for ten years. I'm glad you're enjoying posting here. The forum has clearly labelled sub-sections that have been used by the members without complaint. It's designed this way so that the submissions backups are easy to maintain. This isn't Yojoe, there ain't 50 moderators per category, there's just me.

Please branch out and enjoy the forum in all it's facets. By all means post your customs here, but please can you also post them in the relevant Customs forums for separate discussion and archiving? Similarly, I'd be stoked if you wanted to enter any in the Custom of the Month forum.

I'm sorry to hear that, can't some of the senior officers around here take some of the workload off your shoulders?
In my opinion I still maintain that this is a collection (I don't own anything on or in cardboard ;you :shock: ?,apart from my comics -see page 1). I will continue to post here but if it will make you happy I will post them all in the relevant customs section at the end of the month.
As for custom of the month, the Red Baron he's like the Top Gun customiser around here.(no disrespect everyone else). Am I a dangerous enough maverick to knock the ice-man off his cloud?

So.. with the future of F.F.F. seemingly up in the air let's try to find some firm ground, some land... on which you could drive this little sucker.

Here's a little tip. The barrel had broken off the gun so I used a Marauderinc silencer in it's place. ;)

While we are talking about fangs, I was reading one of my newly gotten BAF comics the other day when this advert jumped out at me.

Weetabix and blood curdling horror- quite a tasty mix - weetabites?

(that aspired to be a :perfectten: but fell a bit short, though not deserving of
aspersions. (ok I'm done). :-D

I am very new to customising and this months effort is my first ever vehicle custom. For the last three months Red Baron has come in and blown my newbie arse out of the water. Damn you Red Baron, damn you to he'll and back.

P.s you and Jim need to stop the foreplay and get a room already

Jim and Baron are one and the same, a bit like God and the Almighty.
Be careful what you wish for Gary ;)
