Happy fourth, everybody!
Here's a (mostly) finished project I've been working on for a couple weeks. I've always been a big Destro fan, so naturally I have quite an affinity for the Iron Grenadiers. Beyond the initial Destro and IG trooper, however, their figures have always seemed a bit...goofy to me (Wild Boar, anyone?). Anyway, I like Metal-Head in concept (guy who's just a giant walking weapons platform), but never really had much love for either of his ARAH-era looks. I decided to make a custom that paid homage to aspects of the first fig and was recognizable as Metal-Head, but also updated his look and tied him in a bit more with the ME IG figs. Since his giant back and leg-mounted missile launchers made him one of the more ridiculous pre-Battle Corps era figs, I decided to play up that aspect of the design and turn the size of his back-mounted weapon up to 11. Hope ya like 'im! PS-I'm still trying to track down two more rockets for his leg launchers, hence their absence ;) |
