What started as a simple head swap almost spiraled out of control. Considering I have a bad habit of not leaving well enough alone this guy could have been one of my "almost Finished" customs of which there are many.
I wanted a Destro that was more on the business end and less of a battlefield load-out. The Avengers Nick Fury body fit my idea quite nicely. I did a head swap with a 25th comic pack Destro and cut off Nick's fixed hands and replaced them with a Clone Trooper's so he had some articulation there. I hate the Marvel hip joints and almost dremeled out his pelvis to give him a Joe t-bar... (That sounded bad) but since the lower torso is a solid piece I knew it would have turned this simple project into a nightmare. So I'm dealing with it... For now. I left his Broomhandle Mauser(?) on his side as I like the idea of him carrying a high tech weapon as well as a classic strapped to his side. The tech gun is from the Halo Drop Pod box set modified with a scope and ammo drum from Marauder Gun Runners. A bit of black paint and a suitcase borrowed from "Moneybags" Destro finished him off.
