Its a nice custom, but the Head of a vast arms dealing operation doesn't dress in battle gear and hit the battlefield. A multi-billionaire Business man hangs out in the pricey skybox of the battle field and watches his minions and those of Cobra deal death to Joes and other would be good guys with the weapons of MARS in safety. He may love to shoot his weapons, but that would be test firing them on prisoners or in compounds that have already been taken over by friendly forces. The rich and powerful don;t want to risk it all (their lives) by fighting. They pay people to do thier dirty work.)
At least my idea of Destro that is. To each their own. This is really fantastic, superior craftsmanship and artwork; the work on the custom is really top notch and it's extremely well put together and executed. But it's just not "my" Destro. To me, Destro--as vile and ruthless as his organization and aspirations may have been--he was a classy villain. The dude sat on the field of battle in his easy chair and sipped red wine while he deployed his troops on the shores of Cobra Island during the Cobra Civil War. He often times showed respect and honor towards his opponents when he considered them worthy. The character displayed looks like a rugged roughneck military contractor type, at best. He's gritty and more of a death-dealer than a multi-billionaire arms dealer. Not the same thing in my mind, so this isn't really my Destro.

I really dig this Destro. Who cares if its not the Destro any of us grew up with it is still an awesome updated interpretation of him.

Paint apps are spot on
The look is quality and the smoke effect is trully inspired!

This is the Younger, more uncouth Destro for me. He was Always wealthy, (due to his inheritance,) but it didn't mean as much to him in his younger years. To Him, he had to 'put in his miles' first...
There'll be time for him to relax later .
