Wait to you guys see the 6" Cable I'm working on.

Fully sculpted cybernetic arm, straps, gun holster, shoulder pads, hair, etc.  He's going to be a beast.

I'll probably get some pre-painted images up later today.

[Bronxstalker]

Here goes my work in progress 6" Cable.  I sculpted his hair, eyebrows, chest harness, cybernetic arm, pistol holster and leg staps.  His extra large shoulder pads are also fully sculpted, and can be removed.  I still have some additional things to do with the shoulder pads, but almost done.  His rifle attaches to his back via these mini strong magnets, and can also attach to the shoulder pad's back as well via magnet.  His boots were taken from a gears of war figure, as was his belt, with the belt pouches removed from another part, and added to the belt.  His hands also from a gears of war figure.
Oh, and I also sculpted a bit around his jaw line and chin to give him a thicker face.

I can't wait until he's finished and fully painted, he'll be straight up in beast mode.

Wow, that one looks fantastic! Off to share.

That's just incredible. Can't wait to see some paint on this guy.

[Bronxstalker]

Thanks.  I can't wait to paint him either.  I just need to run out and get some primer first.

Those shoulder pads were a pain to get down.  It required me to build out the base first using styrene and then sculpt over the styrene.  I also had to retrofit the Gears of War hands to the pegs for the figure, so it would fit properly. 
The hollowing out of the boots were also a challenge, because the plastic (or rubber, whatever it was) was really hard, and it made my dremel work.  I think it might be a very hard rubber, and not plastic, but not too sure.

All in all, everything fit perfectly once modded properly.  The paint job will really make him stand out.

Ok, update on Cable.  He is complete and primed, and face is painted.  Now, I just need to paint the rest of him.  I even sliced out scar on his face to make him more accurate.

Looks like it's going to be really good, what kind of primer do you use?

Krylon, flat grey.

These superhero/villian customs are really, really good. Cable is progressing really well - I look forward to the completed figure. Daredevil is really fantastic - a great rendering of his look. Harley, well...she turned out fabulous!

[Bronxstalker]

Ok, Cable, is.....done.  I would have finished him sooner, but we've been going through an upgrade at work, and this week, work wise, has just been really hectic, long hours, etc.

Anyway, here he goes, finally.  Most parts are sculpted, except for the belt and the GoW boots, and of course, weapons.  I fully sculpted his shoulder pads and made them so that they can attach to him via magnets.  His rifle attaches to either his back or shoulder pads by magnets as well.  He stands at almost 7" tall, so a bit taller than your standard Marvel figures.

Enjoy:

Nice!  Before I stopped collecting comics in college, cable was one of my favorites.  Great job!

[Bronxstalker]

Yeah, I loved Cable back then also.  His design was new to me back then, and that's when I started following Image comics as well, and they were doing those bulky characters also.

[Starchaser]

Cable looks great! I love that you used Gears of War parts, it totally works. So do the magnets. The paint job is really top notch. Awesome job!
