Retired Fix Up Thread

thanks!

I used red and black acrylic paint. same stuff you can find at any craft store or wal-mart. used toothpicks to apply it,then gave the pieces 3 light coats of satin acrylic sealer so it doesn't rub off. gives it a little bit of a shine,but that's fine,considering his entrance gear WAS shiny!

Might not be the right place to post this, but does anyone on here know the ebay seller cem182? He lists some pretty awesome customs, however I have noticed he has listed the same figures multiple times, even after they have sold. I like his work, but I'm sensing a shady seller.

I really like that Commissioner Foley so far

It's Gatecitysinner. He's a good guy. He sent me a few casts over the years, and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. Because of him (fka "Helsinkihellraiser"), we now have a torso cracking tutorial on the first page of the thread.

Cem did a barbarian head and a haku for me recently that turned out great

Personally I love the guy no homo

I just want to put this to rest before it goes any further, I am not Trent Wylde. Yes he is a friend of mine and yes I did learn everyone I know about doing customs from him but trust me, I'm not him.

I can have a buddy of mine on here (who has been a member for years) be a voucher for me or I can send anyone who needs/wants to know to my personal facebook or instagram to prove who I am.

As far as relisting items. If a item does well I remake one and try it again. I know I have been late on a couple of items but working three jobs/having a 5 year old daughter on top of doing customs sometimes its hard to manage my time.

I just really dont want this to become a problem because I know how his reputation is and how he's been banned multiple times.


Sorry if it's not appropriate to post this here but I saw it talked about and I wanted to put it to rest before it got out of hand.

Using the same photos is a bit deceiving. If you haven't completed the figure you're selling, you shouldn't really be selling it yet or at the very least be upfront and honest and mention in the description that it won't be a exact figure. I know when GCS was really rolling he was re-listing pretty much every week. I think that's where he would get in the weeds as far as churning them out. If you know GCS, you know he can just be straight up bunghole. If you bugged him enough or he perceived himself to be more intelligent, he would just ignore you and rip you off. I see people here saying they've never had problems with him trading (myself included on occassion), but of course you didn't. You probably had parts he needed to make more figures.

You can say I'm bad-mouthing him or have some personal vendetta against him (which at one point would have been true, but that was ages ago), but the facts are he's had both multiple accounts on WF and eBay. He at times would openly admit ripping people off and almost laugh about it. It's been a year or two since he's been around so maybe he's fixed his wrongs (he only has one complaint on his current eBay). But if somebody has a proven a history of actions with little to no consequences, it's doubtful they'll fully change. If you get ripped off by him, don't be surprised.

Yeah, I know both guys personally and CEM isn't Gate. And while all the comments on here about gate have been positive, I can understand him not wanting you guys to get the two confused.

Kool I love it!!! Will use this for my customs!!!
