Here's Another new one,
from 2017. I’ve made a few other G.I.Joes, and I’ll try and post
them soon.
This Roadblock [his real name is Marvin Hinton] was
based on a hybrid original design, and I drew inspiration from the
character portrayed by Dwayne Johnson in the G.I.Joe Retaliation
movie from 2013.
The base was the ML
Netflix Punisher, fused with a WWE Basic Series 68B [I think that’s
the one], which presented the head that I needed.
The muscular arms
were sculpted, and they were borrowed from a ML Whirlwind. And his
new armored vest was sculpted as well. His left thigh’s dagger
holster was sculpted, while a small 5mm magnet was installed inside
the pouch affixed upon his right thigh, in order to hold the
submachine gun affixed there. Plus the dagger held on his right thigh
was custom made.
Since Roadblock is a Heavy Gunner, he needed a heavy weapon; so the heavy machine-gun came
from the other ML Punisher toy, the Walgreens exclusive. I also gave
him black gloves but I didn’t give him the movie version's beard;
since I felt it wasn’t necessary, per my chosen design.
He has about four
guns and two daggers, plus I attached a walkie-talkie-thingy to his
leftward shoulder, right on the strap of his armored vest. The gun
holster for the large two-toned handgun affixed on his lower back was
custom made from cardboard and duct-tape. Finally, Tamiya paints were
used and I tried to weather him a little bit, with some metallic
shades.
Stay tuned for more!
