    Destro

    James McCullen Destro XXIV is one of my top 3 favorite Cobra operatives. Destro has been a WIP since I finished Cobra Commander and Snake-Eyes two years ago. I had hoped to have him finished last year but, it took me a bit longer than I thought to finish the head shrink process. I was planning to finish and post him earlier this year but, some of the other talented customizers here posted their custom Destros so, I decided to hold off.

    DESTRO:

    HEAD - My shrink and cast of a 12" Valor vs. Venom Destro head with my paints using the Molotow Liquid Chrome 4 mm marker.
    BODY - Doc Mego Swivel Bicep
    BODYSUIT - Custom tailored and sewn by me.
    HANDS, BELT & BRACERS - CTVT
    BOOTS - Doc Mego Chips boots
    NECKLACE - Fabricated by me using materials/parts from Hobby Lobby & Michael's.
    PISTOL - A MM member from 2014 that was casting & selling pistols and weapons (sorry, didn't jot their name down and couldn't find their Forum posts).
    WRIST ROCKETS & GRENADES - 1/18 ARAH rockets and grenades with my paints.
    BOX - Designed and assembled by me.

    As always, I thank you all for stopping by and giving him a look.

    COBRA!!!!

    John

        Love it. Excellent job on that bodysuit... that must have been a PITA to sew.

        (I have to admit that as a kid, I did not realize that was supposed to be Destro's bare chest. I thought he was just rocking a peach sweater.)
