I filed the hole out and fitted the rachet in... Quite straight forward really.

Where did you get the idea for the silverbolt parts in the shoulders. Where they from my build cuz I used them ages ago... Definately makes articulation much better, great for posing

After a busy day out, I've decided to work on this a little. I managed to get some of the tight screws out. Turns out I just needed a more grip and handle. Before I was using a screwdriver made for repairing glasses.

However, I ran into another problem. After removing Skywarp's right hand, I noticed that it is attached to another piece of black plastic with a metal pin. I have no idea of how to remove it other than prying it open or cutting through it. Any ideas?

On a smaller note, I've already started browsing colors for this project. I'll be using Montana Gold spray paint. I'm horrible with brushes and spray painting is my preferred method as I've used this brand without any complaints. It's acrylic and holds very well (I've used Montana Gold paint on kendama customs). After viewing their color selection, so far I've chosen out Deep Purple for the body and Sweet Dream for the hands and chest piece. If you have other suggestions for the colors, take a look at the selections here.

I bought the KO Shockwave off of chimungmung. I believe there's only one left.

All you need to do is keep the black plastic with the pin so you dont loose articulation. Cut the appropiate hole at the end of Shosckwave arm and place it in. I did that myself.... Relatively easy to do.

Unfortunately, I won't have time for it seeing as I start school soon. Also, I'm in the need for cash for Maketoys Green Giant and Fansproject Menasor. And seeing that an official Masterpiece Shockwave is very possible since MP Sideswipe is releasing soon, I think I can wait for it like I waited for FP Menasor.

And thanks for the advice, but like I said, I'm selling off my progress. I got the idea from thyvipera. Thanks though.

If you wish to sell something, we have forums specifically for that. As such, please restrict sales posts to those forums.

Since you have decided to make this thread a sales thread, it's been moved here to the Junk Pit, where members can sell their customs and such without taking on more work.

I wish you well on your sell
