I put "Olivetti-Inspired" because that is what this piece is. It has some of my flair to it, but was a trial run on piecing figures together from MONTHS ago. I had followed what many customizers have proudly made to challenge myself. I love the piece even though it is not inspired by my own sparks!

The biggest touch was the big ol' chromed arm he has! I have seen various forms of the one arm and wanted to take a creative jab at it!

I used AOA sabes body, but switched out lower arm (right) and both legs with a bishop figure. Then used a colossus bicep/forearm, modded it to fit a Marvel Select Sabertooth hand and gave him an Omega Red strap for a wristband. He has sculpted details and pouches are from casting cave. I used a casted Cable head from an eBay lot I won. I'm not too hot about the head, but it works for now, I really wanted to finish this figure and use it as another stepping stone. I used hot glue to make the energy from his eye.

I airbrushed all of his pouches and highlighted them.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks to Loosecollector(again, today). I saw you use this a bunch when I got interested in customs and many others try this approach. It was a great learning experience and I encourage those of you here to try it if you haven't. Makes for an impressive figure.

Very cool Cable. Love the paint apps on the body and legs. The energy effect is pretty sweet too. Wouldn't have thought of that. Nice touch.

Thanks buddy, I was just trying to do my own touch to a base figure combo that has gotten a lot of use. I think it was a great learning oppurtunity!

Thank you bro, he had been laying around and I felt like it was time to finish! Energy effect was hot glue, new technique I'm trying out!
