Hello everyone, I finally finished my 1/6 Shockwave. I am waiting on some small parts like stick mags for the Mac-11 but I don't want to wait anymore to take the pics. I took the obligatory weapons arsenal breakdown pic with Shockblast's hands behind his back and all his parts laid out in front of him. However every one of the pics was crap and blurry, and I half assembled him again before I realized. I just don't have the energy to tweezer miniature glowsticks back into tiny pockets and lock tiny latches. Plus I broke 2 pegs taking him apart. I will re-shoot later.
I made a few concessions to the original figure. I never thought High visibility "Here I am, Shoot me!" baby blue was a good urban camo color so I reversed them. Went with the later style toy camo with more yellow due to the darker blue. The Light blue uniform wasn't as nice as the darker one I ordered. The original toy had a Micro Uzi or Mac-11, I thought it was a ridiculous weapon for SWAT entry. Full size Uzi maybe but a 10 round a second spray and pray weapon is useless. So I thought of it as a backup weapon and gave him a sniper rifle. It was too large so I am waiting on a new one but it photos well. Going to make a light blue one later with the more correct field cap and OG toy Camo, need to find the old school marine jacket to dye blue. Gave him less than lethal options instead of dual handguns too. Thanks for looking. Last edited by TheMonSSter; 02-11-2019 at 01:41 PM.. |

Looks really nice. I had a lot of the 21st Century and Dragon Models 12" SWAT and police guys and your custom really brings back memories of when I had those.

Thanks everyone! I only collect masked 3 3/4 joes and 1/6th figures for some weird reason. I never liked face sculpts on Joes as a kid. My Joe collection basically consists of SnakeEyes, BeachHead, Firefly, Stormshadow, Troopers, Cobra Commander and a lowlight, GungHo and Sgt Stalker here or there as the exceptions.
I started making 3 3/4 customs (which became an obsession) and realized I was missing Shockwave from my 1/6 collection. New obsession engage! I have a partial list of items it built from. Firefly Alt head 60's rubber Joe Hat Ganghood body Denver Swat helmet and mask Rando Ebay Swat uniform, vest, boots gear and weapons Mac-11 is Vincent's from Pulp Fiction Snake eyes hands Thats about it. |
