Great job with the manifestation of powers, I love that ice-sled for Bobby and the way it starts in the foreground and circles around to the background...not to mention, Iceman's comic panel pose! Even without a killer camera, it still looks awesome, with great attention to composition. What did you use for Storm's lightning? Also, I'd love to see what's happening with Psylocke and what looks to be Omega Red's death coils on the left there (wide angles are so damn difficult)...That's shaping up to be quite an epic X-men vs Brotherhood showdown!! Bravo, man! Catch up to me? Whatever!! LOL

An enormous amount of cheers mate!! You're very right that this is the opus I've mentioned before, albeit the first part of it, with the pieces in the wrong order to fit into the cabinet, and with different figures in it. The final product will be an apocalyptic clash between the X-Men and the Avengers, but since some parts are already complete I might as well display them right?

Fortunately I cannot take any credit for the physical labour of love that went into this. That can only go to a true friend Jake, who actually exists on Figurerealm under the moniker of "custombase" if you want to check him out. We are both huge X-Men fans, so this huge project will be a love letter of sorts to the merry mutants. Jake is the epitome of genius, and that ice slide is my current favourite of his, too! Now Storm's lightning, that was me. Hot glue and wire, the simplest effect to achieve!

Ah yes Psylocke and Gambit did get cut out a tad.. Here's a slightly better shot, and you were absolutely right that Betsy is speeding down Omega Red's death coil to introduce him to her boot! There's also an encounter between Gambit and Mystique, but man did the camera not want to focus on him, so there are no photos of that m'afraid.
