After seeing another one of Wry1's amazing custom Roadblocks, I knew I had to have one for my own collection. If you haven't checked out either Wry1's customs or art, you need to do yourself a favor and check out all of his work.

I was originally going to go with the tri-color desert camo that he used on his latest one, but I plan on making an updated Repeater in the near future and he's going to be my desert themed machine gunner. So, I opted to give him some woodland camo. This is my first time doing woodland and I think it came out alright.

So, here's my new new default Roadblock:









Recipe:

Head, Torso and Arms
: Resolute RB with minor sculpting on the head
Upper Legs: Resolute RB with sculpted drop-leg holster sculpted and the pants sculpted up around the straps of the right upper leg. The holster is a 25th Beachhead holster and I added an SDS pouch to provide an extra clip for his sidearm. I sculpted the pouch on the left upper leg. I also dremeled the knee joints down on the upper legs so that the knees could fit.
Lower Legs: Resolute RB with sculpted clips and straps for the gaiters
Vest: Night Adder vest with a lot of sculpting and added fodder. The knife is from SDS, the 200 round ammo pouches are Tunnel Rat TNT pouches that I sculpted over to give some added bulk, the flash and concussion grenade is from POC Beachhead. I sculpted the rest of the pouches, including the one for the radio on his back
Knees: Resolute Snake Eyes
Gun: Marauder SAW and 200 round drum with bullets added from a Tunnel Rat bandolier

Thanks, Eddie! Yeah, I was pleased with how well the camo turned out. The walkie does come out of the holder.

Now that's a Roadblock!

great work on the sculpting man, turned out excellent! camo looks damn good as well, really solid work. the magazine is backwards, ammo is fed into the wrong side, but whatever man, all in all great work. lookin' forward to seeing what you come up with for Repeater as well.

Thanks, Wry! Didn't realize the ammo clip was on backwards. It didn't seem to want to go on when I tried to put it on the other way, so I figured it must go on the other way. I'll have to fix that now, lol.

Thanks, Rick! Yeah, I had never painted woodland until this figure. Turned out better than I thought it would.
