My
first introduction to all of this customizing madness was through the
internet. I knew little to nothing about customizing prior to doing
my research. Years ago there were several sites that dealt with
customizing of the Mego and FC lines, but it seems as time has gone by
these sites have either disappeared or haven't been updated.
In
any case, here is a list of links to locations that are still active and
can provide information, or inspiration, or both! |

an exhaustive search for scale metal buckles, I came across this company
