You turned a door way into a wow factor. Impressive.

no doubt man. And it fits perfectly.

Here's a question as I skim through these again. Are you leaving the skull part of the castle greyskull as it is...skully? It may be the kind of idea that comes too late, and you tell me to go...well, to go do something to myself. But is there any thought to scultping it into a Destro shaped face, a la the MARS logo?

Maybe you're already doing this, and I just didn't read it. If not, it's just a thought.

thanks for the kind comments, gents!

@bindy: i'm taking some inspiration from this version, I hope to make it a 'dark ages' version of the MARS logo

after everything green gets a coat of "Hippo Gray," I plan on drybrushing a combo of gray & bone white, then washing everything with a dark brown/licorice color.

at least, I think that's the order I'll do it in ....

well so far it looks great, all the parts are really starting to look like the belong together. Great job, cast this sucker up :shifty:

If its good enough for Hasbro and Mattel it works for customizers.

Oh, wow... I wish I had seen this before creating my own Castle Destro. I'd have perhaps borrowed an idea or two.

Looking forward to seeing much more of this...

Can you give a refresh on what you made the bottom part out of? Are those ALL Castle Grayskull bits? Interested in any other castle-y pieces you may have used.
