I hated how the wave 8 CP Shockwave didn't come with his knife or BP and how the RoC NF Shockwave didn't come with the BP. It would have been cool if they had the trademark gun, but Shockwave has 2 guns from Marauder and NF Shockwave has a modified SE uzi w/ a Marauder silencer and the long gun he came with.
At any rate, I bought 2 original backpacks and another original knife on eBay. I had to trim the pegs to fit. One I trimmed too much so I had to use the pen ink tube trick. I also painted one of the backpacks black w/ one of these: Elmers.com - School Glues, Art Supplies, and other adhesives for every use. I don't do a lot of customs and/or painting so it was the easiest solution for me. It dries well, but requires a couple coats/touch-ups on this type of plastic. The backpacks sit a little high, but whatever. He's complete now to me. Pics are attached. Last edited by Fast_Draw; 06-29-2015 at 08:52 AM.. |

oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I trimmed the upper arms near the elbows w/ an X-acto knife so they could 2-hand guns better.

I actually sold my original NF Shockwave on ebay for 25 bucks awhile back. I was so glad to see this figure though. I love love love Shockwave and I used him as a Cobra back then.
I'll go as far to say that despite the backpack issue, this is one of the best figures this year. |

Hey Fast Draw,
How does that paint hold up after drying? I have used the Sharpie water based acrylic poster paint markers and them seem to start carcking and flaking off after awhile. I was wondering how these Elmer's markers would hold up after time? Can you handle the customs without ruining the paint?
