I used to collect marvel legends. But I always wanted a decent Cable. The one we got was ill-paints slop, that looked like ass.

So I did myself one up.

WIP PICS...START AT THE SECOND PAGE LAST PIC AND GO FROM THERE.

Holy shit the homer is back!!!

Um, he is and will hang out with both.

His body is actually a best figure from the x-men figures line.

The arm was made using rubber bands, glued in place then painted.

The head is a cable head.

Honestly the boots were made with rubber bands as well.

People are too obsessed with shit like bad drybrushing and LEDs to care about good customs.

Also keep in mind, some may be trying to offer constructive criticism, and just not may be able to express that as well as they should. So, it may not be that they don't like it, it just may be semantics.

Any time I offer suggestions, it never means I do not like your work. I still love it, its just me pointing out something out of curiosity or what have you.

Keep them coming regardless dude, your shit is quality. Especially since I have seen your progression from 4 years ago to now.

Fatboy Slim's song "Praise You" comes to mind. In a totally hetero way.

I never mind critiques from anyone.

I do mind comments like this " dude she looks like a hermaphrodite" or "um that looks weird, try again" which I have goteen from people whom DON'T EVEN F'ED UP DO CUSTOMS!!!

Comments from people whom do them, either positive or not, are ok. People who dont do them and go, hey that looks like it needs work, can bite me.
