1/6 SSC Destro

[Force28x]

I've not done much 1/6 lately, but finally pulled Destro from the box and decided to have a go at him.
Cut off the long coat, added the chest belt, put him on an Athletic, and swapped out hands with modified Iron Man Mk II hands (added strips of styrene to create card art effect).
I put pocketless pants because I always loved how they had that 'puffy' look to them.
I scratchbuilt a holster and pistol. Was going to try to holster the breakdown laser, but that thing is HUGE!
A few other details and here is what I have to show for it.
It needs some 'futzing' (especially 'crotchal region'), but overall, I like the changes I made and will probably not do much else with him for now.

I did not want to add the neck ring. In the comics, it looked like a two-piece removable mask. I'm not sure how the neck piece would be functional, so for now- no neck ring.
I may modify the mask to make the raised rivets into flush-mounted fasteners.
Thanks for looking.

Im probably going to back over chrome neck with a darker silver.

Now that is going above and beyond. Great job there.

Really great job! Still updated look but with a little more card art style. Nice!

Not a bad start collar needs work and neck needs sanding. But it's getting there

Those hands are incredible, nice job on Destro!

A+ on both of those Destros!

Really? SS couldn't make this look this good shipped? Looks 'modern' still with your tweaks and retains that beast mode Destro look that OG fans love.
Good job sir, very good. The hands alone are a work of art.

 

[EVILFACE]

Good job on those hands, Force.

Groovy, that neck needs some more sanding!

 

[Groovy34]

I was trying to do ridges on it like the ss but I guess ill sand it smooth since it doesn't translate we'll in pics

 

[Groovy34]

As far as the collar i will stitch part of it down as far as position using the wires I like it. I tried different positions and they all didn't look right on camera or on person. This was the only position I liked

Come on, they needed to kill the line with something after all.

And what not a better Sideshowstopper than to kill it with one of the most anticipated characters since they announced they had the license and not give a **** what the fans wanted to see by throwing a half-arsed figure together and laying it down with the thankless attitude, "Here you go. Here's your Destro. We're done. Goodbye."

Your Dam Right!

I didn't like the raised eyebrow and did a slight resculpt on my Destro head just to see if it looked any better. I still have to paint the eyes.

[kl241]

Outstanding! Get you a case of beer for that.

 

[preeny101]

Great resculpt. You are braver than me, my friend!
