I have considered custom items also... I have wanted to make Dukes unconventional weapons for years for instance. (I did make a mach-up of the freeze thrower once, but never a copy) But over the years, many things have come to mind... from custom action figures to a full size mannequin based full size Duke. I have been trying to buy a Body Builder mannequin for years actually. They are not mass produced "that" bulked up, so the only ones to be found are customs which are usually $4000 and up.
Then I would have to have a head sculpted/painted as I am not a sculptor/painter at all. I would love to have Duke Nukem sitting in my game room though.
That has been in my plan books since 2003.
Anyway, lots of ideas occur and are written down, but this floor is something I could afford (unemployed) and took less than a week to complete. (About 40 hours in the end) It is just relatively inexpensive solid commercial flooring material... limestone based (85%) and vinyl binder. It should easily outlast me. I will be cleaning and sealing soon and it will be quite glossy.
I might never have a fancy marble floor, but at least this is something I could do myself.
As a serious fan of Apogee/3D Realms/Duke Nukem and other aspects of the company, things like inter-office toys and other items are of substantial interest.
