As a collector, I find myself often wanting something a little different or new that Marx did not make. So I go into my kit bag and start pulling out paint, dremel tools, knives and a host of other materials to exercise my creative side. The links on this page are to help you do that very thing and to provide inspiration. In the future, I'd like to have a Customizer's Gallery. So if you have done something you want to show the world or have a neat tip to share - please let me know.
