Man it’s a good looking custom but you want criticism so here it comes....
Color has great saturation and the colors contrast each other well. I would like to see this in natural light without a flash to see if the saturation holds up. Design is done well, the forms are even to help with proportions. I’m not sure why but the vintage style helmet looks wonky to me. I think it’s the way the visor sits. Is the helmet and visor both vintage or something else? Maybe it’s the gold but I’m leaning towards your POC helmet working better. Paint technique looks super clean. If I’m being picky, the inside of the hands could use another coat and the dots on the knees aren’t all even. I like the scuff marks and you did them really well but maybe hit the knees too. You know, cause when Destro’s around they get a lot of use, haha. Seriously man, this is a slick custom that would be a gem in most collections. Hopefully this was what you wanted when you said “critique”

I love him, been struggling to figure out a build for him myself so I think you did a great job! The weathering on his armor & jetpack are really well done.

Hopefully this was what you wanted when you said “critique” . Helmet was 3 options: 1 current, 1 vintage ( combo of 1988 and current space helmets) which I wanted him to wear . I have one working that’s to fit a peg, but my vision was for him to wear them. Here are a few pics with outdoor lighting: Thanks again for the honest feed back .

The paint rub on the inside of the hands are a minor distraction, but other than that he's a work of art.

That's a really nice build. Any criticism I would offer is more personal approach than anything. Love both helmets.

Very Nice, adding the weathered look and interchangeable helmets was icing on the cake
