For custom heads (and parts) for 6 inch figures. I am not vouching for any of these sites. Well, except https://www.outerrimtraders.com/. I have used them a number of times.

Custom 1:12 scale Black Series speeder bike
Following in the footsteps of those that came before me, I present to you, my speeder bike using the Hero Mashers bike.
-chopped the front yoke and replaced it with 2 wooden dowels and a disposable pink razor. This one cracks me up. I showed my wife and she didn’t even notice her razor was on in the bike
-dremeled off the back cushion and replaced it with a fake leather one (made with brown paper bag and mod podge over a random Ikea? part)
-back cushion is removable and I added a removable basket to hold the kid
-added a rear exhaust made from a marker barrel and the twisty bottom of an anti-perspirant. The angle was tricky to get right – I had to do three of them til I finally got it right. This looks great, IMO and is perfect – check out the inside view
-added a lego shield and a part from the dollar tree robot on the back where the pluses were
Primed grey, hit it with some silver spray paint (front and fork) then painted with acrylics, then weathered. I may add some rust to it. Maybe. Also may add some wired/tubes. Maybe.
This was super fun to do, highly recommended. The Hero Mashers set is on Amazon Prime for less than $11.

Star Wars Custom Moisture Vaporator
Finally bit the bullet and used my random stuff to make a moisture vaporator.
Made with random stuff I have been saving… Bottom to top…
* Vitamin lid
* 2 bases from Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit
* some random plastic things leftover from ikea builds
* cube made of cardboard
* wwe dumbell
* center twister from anti perspirant
* oj lid
* super glue lid
* Flonase plastic piece
* the spinner on top cut from some trash
* Dollar tree dowels
* Random greeblies added throughout
Painted white, added some oxide red paint for rust, some light brown for dirt, black washed with watered down shoe polish.
This was super fun to make. I highly recommend it.
UPDATE: it was too dirty and weathered so I repainted it.
Cold Brew Recipe
I’ve been making and drinking my own cold brew for a couple years now… here is my tried and true recipe. There are many ways to make code brew and no right or wrong ways… this one is mine…
I brew with this:
but any 64oz container would work.
The coffee I use is either of these:
I like the Comunity coffee with chicory from my days buying Peet’s Cold brew and the Gevalia just has some amazing flavors. I need to try mixing them.
Recipe:
1) put 1.5 cups of coffee into your cold brew. If you’re using a filter/sack/bag, put it in there.
2) wet the coffee a few times in the sack before closing it off (and keep the drippings in the jar).
3) tie off the sack, drop it in the jar then fill the container with water
4) refrigerate it for 24h.
5) next day, just pull out the sack (I squeeze it to get the last bits of coffee out)
Done! Drink it how you like it. I use about 50% code brew with 25% milk and 25% coconut creamer.
