Does anyone know of good instructions or possibly a how to on YouTube? I am not sure exactly how to customize a mini and make it look decent (I don't want to butcher my collection without any hope of success).

Practice with minis you have a vast supply of and little care for.
Start simple - head/weapon swaps.
Then move to the slightly more challenging Repositioning.
Then Combine the two, and add in limb/partial limb swapping (use putty/epoxy to fill in gaps)
Paint.

For the most part you should be able to rescavenge the pieces on future customs once you have more confidence.

Here is what you do bud, go to wookieepedia and in the search engine type in Customizing Star Wars Minis. It will bring up a series of links to Ironlightsabers old How To guide on customizing. He wrote a very in depth guide on how to do it. Don't use the WotC links as they have been removed. Click on the back up links, they are numbered 1 and 2 for each one. They will bring up the old how to guides. There are 11 total. Like I said very in depth. Only problem is some of the picture's may not come up. But he has a lot of it written out with really good explanations. I BM'ed him not too long ago here and he has plans for putting them up again for all of us. ThumbsUp

You can try this link also. ThumpUp

Hope that helps you out bud.

@Creme, your guides were the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread. I was too busy to big you up and put links to your threads though.
