Almost everybody
that gets into custom figures has probably done their version of this
tough guy, so I decided to add mine to the mix...
Cable used to be one
of my fav comic characters, back in the late-90s. And since he's a
time-traveler, his comic books seem to come and go like the wind. The original toy base model is shown
Here, so that you can compare it to what I did...
This
Warzone Cable
took a long time. I did him halfway and used him for my
Domino and
Deadpool custom pics over
Here.
Anyway, I built this guy upon the original base and added his new armor pieces
with putty, along with shoulder armor and shin-guards. His X-belt was
sculpted and he was given lots of guns, along with a Gears of War
Blaster that was adhered via a magnet to his back.
All the silver parts
were custom-made. And I added a "nano-engineered cloth"
around his mouth, since it's a makeshift air-filter intended to
counteract the smoke that he encounters in the futuristic wasteland.
I customized the barrel of the rocket launcher that's added to his
back, via a drilled hole and a matching peg that the long weapon came
with [I think the weapon came from my Deadpool fodder]. I also
customized the handgun that the Cable toy came with, adding a
Gundam-model barrel to its underside.
Strapped around his
chest is the belt of the BAF Juggernaut, and I added some bullet
rounds and other straps to it.
After painting his guns silver with
Tamiya paints, I added a gray-toned gun-metal wash to them, to make them look
weathered. Then his entire body was weathered. And his silver armor pieces
were weathered as well. You can observe the left-side and right-side comparison images above, to see what I did to one of his arms [per the added armband and the gauntlet].
He stands very well,
and he has about 5 guns and 2 daggers. The holster on his left hip
was fully sculpted and glued into position.
Stay tuned for more!
