This is nothing that hasn't been done before just my take on SALVO one of the better Characters from the DIC series. I plan on swapping out the RB head once I have a more suitable one but this one works for now.
the Lowdown: Head Ult Roadblock with beard removed Full Body Ult Roadblock hands Battle katana Roadblock Gear is ARAH SALVO

Thanks guys. I try to keep things simple so this RB was a perfect fit. I did plan on painting the shirt but then said F it as I didnt have any of the brown I wanted to use in acrylic laying around and i was to lazy to attempt to mix some up so I figured this was close enough.

I had the same dilemma as yours. However, on mine, I used spare parts cause I used my ultimate Roadblock arms to make a Slaughter custom and used the arms from the one with the Arashikage tattoo on my Salvo. I love how you did the ammo on the legs. I removed my pouch and holster and put it on my NF Repeater so I just used the ammo to cover the holes on mine.
Basically I just 'pretended' that he rolled up his old brown shirt and used it as a arm pad. This was my way to tie the brown shirt to my 30th Salvo custom and as a way to cover up the failed attempt at removing only the Arashikage tattoo from those arms. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...868-salvo.html

Oh, and I have to say, I love how your paint on the shirt showed up. Mine is a little fuzzy and the black didn't contrast as nicely as yours.

I like that you have a story for the arm sleeve. It definitely works. I originally planned to do A Salvo awhile back using a POC Recondo since his shirt match so well but never got around to it. Then when I seen this RB I got back on it.

I tried to use waterslide decals with negative results the white just would not show up. So I found a white paint ultra fine tip oil based sharpie that worked well.

The head is General Weir from Star Wars. Unfortunately, it's too small for the helmet and too small for the Roadblock body.

That head really works well on the recondo body. Nice touch!
