What I love about making post apocalyptic customs is the artistic freedom. Vehicles don’t have to look perfect. They can have all sorts of mistakes, deformities, battle damage, etc. After all, these vehicles should not look as if they rolled off the assembly line shiny and intact. Drivers and/or passengers are constantly modifying, repairing, rectifying, improving, and altering their vehicles weaponwise.

For example, after fusing the motorcycle windshield to Breaker, I realized it was a very crooked. I had to fix it. In doing so, I literally sabotaged the winshield section making a huge mess of it and like a surgeon found some clever way to “sew” it all back together. Although the finished product looks messy, the important thing is that the windshield now sits straight.

One thing I’ve realized from the progress I’ve made is that each custom requires more and more work and is more challenging and time-consuming than the previous. Nevertheless, I love this form of art. When I’m customizing, I am at peace with the world, I am able to realize my dreams, thoughts, and ideas. I am in my element and nothing can stop me.
