    The Mighty Destroyer!!

    OK, as soon as I saw the designs for the new Destoyer series by Robert Kirkman, I was sold on it. http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16082 Basically, the character's been in publication for over 50 years, and aging semi normally for that time. What got me going on the custom was a old shirt Mrs TBolt gave me that solved the striped sweater issue. The rest of the clothing was some 1/6th boots shrunk, 1/6th army pants taken in at the waist, and left baggy to look like the artwork. The head is a reworked ctc goblin head. I wanted him to look like he's wearing a fright mask from a dime store.



    And the anti BK shot, him looking down at some freshly kicked bad guy *****

        Neat Stuff Bolt. I have no idea what this is,.. But like the look of the character. The shirt looks as if it would work great for a Freddy figure too.

          Awsome job Joe! I always thought Drax the Destroyer was cool. Great job on the suit, and I thought that was one of Don's heads. Good stuff

              Great Look! The comic book series looks pretty good, too. Looks like everybody is whipping out their golden age greats, huh?

              So 1/6 scale boots can be shrunk? Good to know. I only have a million of them around my house.

                As always it's awesome for a Golden Ager to get the spotlight. Your take on the character is very unique, reminds me a bit of Mike Mignola's style as well. Your costume work is tops man, keep it up! -Will

                  That is one ugly looking dude! Nice work all around. The head is freaky and the clothes are spot on.

                        He looks really cool. I like him. Where did you get the gun/hoslter and Knife??

                          ^^^ All the guns etc came from war-toys.com. Its all 1/6th stuff but works pretty well for 9 inch figures
