Had a pretty rough and arm missing Raph laying around and some spare Star Trek Borg pieces,so I decided to add some parts to him. Advice and criticism is greatly welcomed. Re Did the pics.Hope that these are better.Camera isn't the sharpest.

My advice is zoom out so I can tell what I'm lookin' at!

Definitely, and if you could take a bit sharper pics, it would help. Wallet on the background seems much more focused than the figure itself.

Yep, the pics are much better now compared to the original. It's nice first custom, altho these old turtlefigures should always wear a belt, IMO. They just look a bit weird without them, but maybe it's just because he's a borg.

Oh, and if you paint/color something black, you should do it properly. I'm still talking about the plastron (where the belt was), it could use more color, now it looks like you've used marker which is almost out of ink.

Agreed. Sharpie/marker won't adhere to the figure properly, and will eventually smudge off, and get your hands all inky.

But it's a nice, simple, clean first custom, and the Sharpie thing is something you wouldn't necessarily know when first starting out. Good job!

I am in the process of doing something similar (on a vast scale). I had a Raphael missing an arm come in today, actually.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else said. Keep up the good work!
