About this creation
Born in Callander, Scotland, Destro’s full name is James McCullen Destro XXIV, and he is Laird of Castle Destro in the Scottish Highlands. The Destro clan has designed and sold weapons for centuries, and Destro is the head of their current incarnation: M.A.R.S. (Military Armament Research Syndicate). He wears a mask forged from beryllium steel, a tradition dating back to the English Civil War, when an ancestor of his was caught selling weapons to both sides. Forced to wear a steel mask for his crimes (neither side wanted to execute the ancestor because they still wanted the weapons he sold), the Destro clan has since turned it into a symbol of pride, passing it down from father to son for over 20 generations. In the episode "Skeletons in the Closet" it was also revealed that Destro is distantly related to Lady Jaye.
Destro’s key characteristics are his sense of honor, a calm demeanor, and love for Cobra's second-in-command, the Baroness. As a businessman, Destro is cutthroat and unyielding. He uses his own troops, the Iron Grenadiers, and hires mercenaries to stir up conflict in dangerous regions, then sells weapons to those armies. Continuing a tradition started by the first masked Destro, he will even sell to both sides of the same war.
Decals on torso, and leg's gun. Some painting to create his face. Just for general enjoyment!!! And of course let me know what you think
By the way, I don't mind if anyone around uses my ideas, actually good to see that others are inspired by ones job, thanks! ;-) but please give the proper credit... THANK YOU Again!

Excellent minifig, his face really resembles Destro's mean expression. His body without a doubt is perfect. I love the backgrounds and land scape used for the photos. Honestly, it is remarkable! |

Very interesting, perhaps line expression on his face could have been lighter than bold black, but it makes him looks more peculiar. Indeed a nice minifig |
