So Ive had this on the block for a bit, just had to wait for the time to make it. I wanted to make a Roadblock that was a bit more true to the original ARAH design, but at the same time change things up a smidge. Ive had this Resolute Roadblock head for over a year now, and finally had the inspiration to use it. I can say that much of this inspiration came from Keepitclean's Ult. Roadblock mod from last year. Unlike his however, I gave mine an ARAH style color scheme while muting the orange of the pants. Also for anyone who wants to paint Resolute Roadblock and not have to match skin tones Testors Model Maters Panzer brown is dead on the same.
I may go back and add a more involved backpack harness setup, but for now I am content. Please let me know of any additions, or critiques you may have!
Enjoy!

PS - If anyone has a long bullet chain that they can hook me up with that would be most helpful. I would love to shoot some pics of him with the Deuce and BP, but the bullet chain that came with Ult. RB is too short to allow for this.

Recipe:
Head: Resolute Roadblock (modified to look proportioned to the body)
Rest: Ret. Ultimate Roadblock

Accs:
BP: 30th Iron Grenadier
Rest: Ultimate RB

Looks good! I was expecting them to give us an easy kitbash Roadblock and Copperhead update from the Rockblock figures cobbled together. The (oddly remolded, since they never used it for anything else) 3-pack figure has the buckle-less shirt, and the legs from the "Ultimate" one are great big-character legs. But nope, no love for brown vintage Roadblock.

Man, that 25th one looks like shit now. All those 5-pack figures need to be redone.
