Hi guys, sorry to come so late to the party. I'd like to start by stating that this is the first custom, model, painting, you name it that I have ever done, so please bear with me. I basically had the idea to make this when I first read about the contest and thought it was too good not to do. I don't think it quite fits in with the general theme of the contest (HUGE GUNZ), and I knew for sure someone else was going to do a PDD H.I.S.S., but I also knew for sure that nobody was going to put a hot tub in their hiss!!
so here you have it, my first ever custom! I'll try to snap better shots in the morning because I am not too please with these but I'm too tired to do it now, and I'll also write up a little story for it and some details about what I learnt building it. It was alot of fun and I'd like to build it again using some of the (hard) lessons I leant. anyway, here you have Destro's 'city' ride! -Pimp Daddy Destro's Hot Tub H.I.S.S.tory- Have you ever wondered why Destro really split and formed the Iron Grenadiers? i mean, why bother with the hassle of feeding and clothing your own army when you have the perfect customer who takes care of all that already? Well, here's why. Having already annoyed the Commander enough with his flamboyant new 'Pimp Daddy' persona, Destro crossed the line when he converted a H.I.S.S. tank into his personal cruiser. He could have easily gotten away with it had he not used a H.I.S.S. already bought and paid for by the COBRA front company ARBCO Corporation, a move intended to get back at the Commander for refusing to pay him for a shipment of crocodiles Destro secured for Croc Master to run an underground croc wrestling ring with. It wouldn't have been such a big deal but Destro was hit with some major fines after his first truck was busted on it's way out of the Florida everglades. Having an established understanding of the Commanders spending habits, ARBCO accountant Stuart P. Maltenmeyer questioned the commander on why he would spend $50,000 on a custom made hot tub, 8 26" and 8 24" rims and 32 coats of maroon pearl high-gloss. Seeing as all the bills were from the Dreadknocks stomping grounds in Florida, the Commander went down to see Zartan and investigate (interrogate). Zartan informed the commander that Destro brought him a H.I.S.S. to customize while he had hired the Dreadknocks to catch crocodiles in the everglades. This infuriated the Commander, who realized that he could have just gotten the Dreadknocks to do it himself, especially since he just paid for them to have new bikes made by one of those reality t.v. motorbike builders as a reward for 1 full year of not blowing up any COBRA equipment. The Commander never paid much attention to pop culture, but they must have been nice bikes because they cost a fortune! The Commander went to question Destro, who was still in florida overseeing COBRAs spring break recruitment program. Once he arrived he found Destro cruising the beach with the Baroness in the Hot Tub H.I.S.S. and that was it. He immediately ordered the Baroness back to headquarters and placed her on probational secretarial duty indefinately. Seeing as COBRA owns the designs and rights to produce the H.I.S.S., the Commander confiscated the Hot Tub H.I.S.S. on the grounds that it was owned by COBRA, not M.A.R.S., and ordered it destroyed. Destro had even used a driver on the COBRA payroll and adorned the H.I.S.S. with COBRA emblems which maddened the Commander even more. Cobra Commander told Destro that he was going to start using the weapons supplier that Major Bludd had put him in contact with, Hank Skizzy, to make the H.I.S.S>, and Destro responded by telling the Commander that he was going to start his own international terrorist outfit with waaay cooler outfits and vehicles. So there you have it, the true story about the split between COBRA and Destro! The decision to go with Skizzy turned out to be a bad one, because unbeknownst to the Commander, he also made a deal with the U.S. government to supply it's military and he wound up giving both armies poorly made weapons that were painted in ridiculous colors and the move wound up destroying both armies. As fate would have it Destro would years later reclaim his Pimp Daddy persona and resurrect both armies to fight again and to perhaps achieve their former glory, but mostly because he missed his H.I.S.S.! Cheers! *EDIT* Ok, I've uploaded more pictures, hope they're straight. I have to go do some work on my mothers house so I'll post a little fictional story about the hiss and discuss some of the building later on today. thanks again for the good comments and I'd like to give a big thumbs up to all the people who've entered so far. great stuff all around guys!! take care!!
