Okay the Combat Squad Shockwave really didn't "need" to be fixed but I felt it came so close to being perfect I had to finish the job. Basically it was just a few little tweaks and I really like how it came out.

First I removed the cloth mask from the hat. This allows the hat to sit a little lower and tighter on the head and look like it fits better.

Next I sculpted on a mouth covering on the head to finish out the sculpted full face mask. I was tempted to sculpt in lines like a knitted ski mask but felt the smoother look fit the Sigma 6 style. Then I painted it flat black to better match the other paint apps.

Finally I painted the radio mic and belt black as well. These two sculpted details were darn near perfect and a touch of color to make them pop really helped a LOT.

Anyway, I added in my custom XM-8 as the colors match Shockwave almost perfectly. The rest is all stock.

Hey, that looks pretty sweet! I was going to do some mods to mine (paint a camo pattern on it, sculpt the mask like you did), but got lazy and just modded the vest so it didn't look so stupid.

I think I'll go back and do what you did with the mask (since I don't like the WetSuit head anyway).

Shockwave is my favorite S6 figure so far - and you made him even better!

Thanks man! Glad you like it.

Also I added a few more pics to the first post. I found the 1/6 scape accessories I got for a Shockwave custom several months ago. I added the Mac10 and riot shield which make him more realistic I think.

Wow, that's really good. I don't really care much for S6 figures, but I really like how he looks.

nice work! where did the XM8 come from?

That's very cool. If they made that, it would sell like hotcakes. Great work.

You know, some of you guys that love the 8 inchers should take your customs, or at least the pics of them to the convention to show what can be done with them and show the big H they have a following. Maybe even convince MC to do something for you guys too... Nah!(kidding)

Another great job on your custom. I would buy that one before the one they have in the stores.

Thanks man!

The XM-8 is from one of those BBI Elite Force 1/6 scale weapons sets. I cut the stock down so it fits better with the smaller S6 scale figs. I plan on having it cast up and for sale at GtG eventually.

Glad you guys like what I did.

Looks really good Stranger! I especially like the XM8.
