We are gearing up for a podcast with Paul Speedlee Customs next week. I know he is not a SW Customizer, but wow some of his work is just over the top and I am guessing that the fine folks here might be able to generate a few questions:

Yes, he is an amazing artist. I would like to know how he gets such amazing metallic finishes on the transformers he creates.

Paul's an awesome customizer, he's the one who inspired me to tackle that Marvel Legends scale Wolverine. Very professional guy, very friendly and always willing to help out.

He has a quite a varied range of painting techniques. From the colourful metallics on his Iron Man customs to the ultra weathered look on his WFC Transformers.

I'd like to know when he decided to customize for a living. It's something I never really knew was possible, until I joined ProCustomizers.com. Does he have any tips for people also looking to turn this hobby into a source of income? Any pitfalls to look out for?

Thanks folks. We are hoping to be able to talk with Paul again at some stage to get into some detail on some of his painting techniques.

Lets just say he knows how to build to the correct AF Scale for vehicles. Get your question in here as we will try to ask them tonight.

This guy does some seriously sick work. Look at that Blockade Runner! Working on mere action figures and small vehicles I'm having trouble finding the space to house it all. But what about Michael? Does he store them in a large storage facility, sell them, break them down in smaller segments? Hope he can shed some light on that.

Is that a freaking Darth Maul BIG RIG?
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.
