Not too bad, but IMO he needs some cutting in his waist area to dispose of the "diaper crotch" effect, and a proper belt. |

you perfectly brought him into the POC look. outstanding work. The look you have here would be perfect for swat army building. A little darker blue on the clothes and different heads. Wow. would be killer with him in charge and a team behind him. |

I never got any prior versions of Shockwave to know exactly what all is done, but this one does look production caliber, and the gear does definitely modernize him for POC quite well. |

Very smart choices here. Love the little touches like the Batman shoulder pad. Well done. |

I am incredibly happy everyone digs my changes here. Like I said, this character is very near and dear to me. Jay: I thought about doing the crotch work but didn't want to risk ruining the figure. I did try some belts too but they really didn't work with the vest. I briefly considered glue some parts somewhat beneath the vest to give the illusion of a belt, but decided against it. |

I cut mine up with an x-acto (as well as the ROC Leatherneck who became my Spirit, and a 25th Scarlett mold), and aside from some minor stress marks from the cutting inside the joint, which doesn't really show much unless you look INTO the leg joint, they're fine. You can probably even sand those marks away. Have a look: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t285 ... kblast.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t285 ...

There's a lot of full webgears but not many belts that work in a versatile way. |

I may actually give the cutting idea a go, having seen your results. I'd have to get a X-Acto knife though, as I do not have one. I most just use this pen knife a friend gave me as a gift, but it's nowhere near sharp enough for that. |

Be sure to get the "hobby knife" version and not the "hardware store" version, since this requires some amount of finesse: http://mindsprints.files.wordpress.com/ ... -knife.jpg |
