I'd like to give a big thank you to Kessel Run Review for featuring Customs for the Kid in their newest episode. They have always been a long time friend of ours, and we greatly appreciate their touching feature in celebration of our 10-year anniversary. Working with them behind the scenes to bring this episode to life was an honor and absolute pleasure. We are always going to be loyal viewers of this show, and we can't wait for more episodes to come!

COOL YOUTUBE TUTORIALS
A simple, easy and cheap project that you can throw together with materials you can find around the house. This one is a great for parents trying to entertain their little ones when they are cooped up in the house and driving you a bit crazy.
This project is much more advanced and is for a more seasoned "maker" who has an elaborate set-up with some of the latest technology available at their fingertips.

"CUSTOMS FOR THE KID" CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF BLOGGING
At the moment, the picture above is the photo we are using for our new banner, We are still deciding if it will be a permanent fixture or not. We'll let you all know when the jury is out on that one.
The Loth-Wolf was a project Dad had been working on for some time now. We recently decided that when we hit our 10 year anniversary, Dad would be stepping down from his duties here at the blog. Therefore this custom Loth-Wolf may just be the last custom we get here from Darth Daddy. There was a combination of factors that led to this decision but ultimately we both decided that I am more than capable of managing the blog on my own from now on.
Dad liked the idea of making the Loth-Wolf as his final piece because he has had dreams of wolves his entire childhood. One of the last wolf dreams he had, back around when I was born, was his wolf pack giving him a young cub to raise. Dad said I was that little cub in his dream and this blog was such a big part of that upbringing. The Loth-Wolf stood at the door to The World Between Worlds. This blog opened both me and my dad up to the world of Star Wars customizing and we can't thank you all for the support you have shown us all over the last decade. Working on this blog has been life changing for both of us. We will never forget the cool creations, friendships, podcast interviews, awards, and events we got to be a part of.
I can't thank Dad enough for all he did to make this blog a reality.
Hope to see you all at the livestream here tomorrow!
"Loth-Wolf"
by Customs for the Kid
The Loth-Wolf was a 100% sculpted creature that used the Rampage: Big City Brawl Ralph as a base figure to sculpt onto. Dad re-sculpted the entire body and I did some of the face sculpt under the eyes, the scaling and the detail paintwork so we could have it finished for today.
