Man, you've made the Cyber-Viper look pretty cool! I've been thinking about how I want to update him (something like the Deviant pilot, but more of a techie), but this looks good with the rest of the Mega Monsters crew. The armor vests on him and the Mega-Viper create a nice sense of comraderie, too.
Did you hollow out the breather head and put it on top of another, or just scratch away at the lower half and paint it different colors? Edit: Nvm, I gave it a closer look and realized the paint's just so clean it looks like two separate parts, and that the breather head does have those lines on the lower half naturally. Even more kudos! Thanks! Yeah, it’s just a full paint job on the respirator head. Originally I carved up a gas mask with the idea of it being a removable helmet but the final product wasn’t nearly as good as I wanted it to be. So flesh tone on the bottom half was the final solution and I think it came out looking great. Love hearing that you thought I modded the head, means my paint job was better than I expected! Haha.

Cyber Viper was the easiest to execute but the most difficult to build. Mega Viper came together really quick, then the monsters just required me to gain some momentum but Cyber was a real puzzle. I appreciate it! Thanks! Definitely one of my more out there ideas, haha. Quote:

As always, I appreciate the comments, especially when it’s on a larger group that I really had to put a lot of hours into!

Took a week off to recharge a bit and am back with a new project that I just completed. This wasn’t a Destro I was too familiar with but it’s one that I really liked the design of once I discovered it. Problem was, “do I really need ANOTHER Destro custom in my collection? The answer was no for a while.....then I thought, well maybe if I do a full “Collectors Edition” type package that I’d start to get more excited about the idea.
So I started working out the design for Destro and then got him painted. Full Boss Fight build with a casted head, some red, gray mix & black paint and a whole bunch of gold to get the look right. Then because I thought it fit the color scheme well and just looked awesome, I gave him red eyes. Moved onto the accessories by grabbing the battle axe with the dragon head which I just thought was so cool, then I ordered an IG Destro logo from Cobra Stickers and added paint apps to the flag. Finished it off by painting the sword and the figure stand to complete the main package. Currently working on sculpting the display stand for him but since everything else was done besides that, I figured I’d show him off. Destro v13 With the rest of his Convention Box Set members: Then because like I said, I really needed a good reason to make yet another Destro for my collection so I wanted to do sort of a Hot Toys type premium figure thing with him where he had multiple displays options and a stand. The display stand is still a work in progress but this is the ultimate idea once I sculpt and paint the rock display. Wanted the flag planted and a “sword in the stone” type thing with the golden sword. Until I finish some of my bigger projects, probably will be getting away from the “figure a day” thing I had been doing but I have some other fun stuff that I plan to start sharing.

That Destro fits in either the Joe-verse, or could fit in with the BFS Fantasy line! Love the duality of this build!

Thanks! Was thinking the same thing once he was finished! Gonna have a decent little medieval Cobra display now. Need a Joe to fight with them. Haha.

That Destro came out great. Didn’t know about this version until a message you sent me but he fits in perfectly with the set.

You’re killing it with the integration of BFS parts. Another banger.

Thanks! Liked how he had a different build than the other Destro figures, seemed like so many later o ring versions just used the 90’s mold so it helped allow me to do something new with this one and not just another IG remake. Really enjoyed getting to do a full batch of weapons and the flag too. My first custom with a sticker! Haha.
