Post subject:	*Transforming Snowbird Custom Bust Non-Joe**
Last year, I bought an Alpha Flight Snowbird bust of eBay cheap, because it had a broken finger. I tried to drill a hole to sculpt a finger on, but that didn't work .. so I customized it.

really nice! nothing like the satisfaction of fixing a broken piece by breaking it more, then building it back better -or- polar bear facepalm!

Not the typical submission around these parts, but undeniably good work. Love the inspired use of the Wampa arm.
