So, this is a partial Fodder Bin project. I had the bare Gung Ho torso, the Outback upper arms, and the Roadblock lowers, and didn't really know how to synthesize them into something cohesive, but given their size, they pretty much had to be used with each other. So, I had to go out and get the legs to complete the look
Shout out to Steel Brigade, as his version finally made be buckle down in mine.

Your custom is spot on. I wasn't familiar with this version of Destro, but you translated it into modern form perfectly. My first reaction was what were they thinking with this design for Destro, but let's be real his original design was a WTH is this design too.
The paint job is so smooth that I thought at first glance it was a black bossfight blank until I read the description.

This is a wicked looking Destro and now you're making me want to make one as well. I guess this has a trickle effect!
Is that red a model master paint? Insignia red? Fantastic custom, really digging this one! |

It's actually British Crimson. Looks a lot more burgundy in person
