finally finished my destro diorama: "Business is Good". included is a bit of my own "fanfic".
destro shows off his latest, high tech rifle....a hybrid conventional/pulse weapon. there are currently only six prototypes. the bulletin board shows off the swamp assault boat ordered by cobra commander. the reverse side shows the HISS, an early creation of MARS. behind the bulletin board can be seen three integrated parts of MARS' personal armor prototype. cobra commander disapproved of the helmet design, "who am i destro? darth vader?" it was redesigned to the version we know today. (not one to waste manhours and, of course, money --- destro had his technicians redesign the prototype helmet to fit the need of an "air vanguard" trooper.) and by his side, as always, Anastasia. the money in the brief case is a scan of a $5, greatly resized down and a wrapper added by way of paint prgm. the schematics were vintage blueprints i got off of yojoe.com with "G.I. Joe" replaced by "M.A.R.S.", again by way of paint. (the moccasin is my favorite vehicle and i am THRILLED over the new version hasbro is doing) mostly all the things on the dio are from marauder. the "base" is a cakepan i got from dollar tree. it gives the dio a nice, high platform and "handles" to safely move it. and since its made of metal, everything is held down somewhat firmly by adhesive magnetic strips. anything that is stacked, has either a nail or a thumbtack spiked thru and into the object on top, to keep things from sliding off when i move the piece. destro is held on the crate by three finishing nails. one running just in front of his crotch, hidden by his left hand. (its also painted black to blend in with his pants.) and two nails in the back against either buttcheek, keeping him from leaning, or worse, falling back. the "armor suit protos" podium is an old Rx pill bottle. that last pic is the inspiration for my dio.....an unreleased destro statue by diamond select from a few years back. i love that statue...but alas, i was not in greatly numbered company...the piece was canceled due to "lack of pre-orders". so i made my own.

Wow, man, that is really great! I think those versions of Destro and Baroness are the best and it's what I have displayed. Awesome scene!
