This is the Europeon Headquarters for the Iron Grenadiers and Destro's childhood home. Destro has updated his palace using stolen goods from different Cobra technologies. The surface to air missles on the roof are stolen Night Raven missles, the computers and control chair are stolen parts from the Terror Drome. He has comissioned a few items himself.
Being an arms dealer, Destro procurred a rapid firing proton laser canon (RFPLC) that can immobilize any electronic vehicle much like an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) but without destroying the targeted electronics. Additionally, he has had modifications made to some of the castle's old mainstays. The LGC (Laser Guided Catapult) is equipped with a 50mm gatling gun, computer driven laser guidance system and a 2 ton boulder. There is no armour defense against a 2 ton boulder! On the top sits his newest creation, a missle launching crossbow. This fortress is located in Eastern Europe but its exact location is only known to those few elite Iron Grenadiers.

This was the second rendition of my Castle Destro. When I completed the first one I always thought Destro is savvy enough to have two distinct bases of operation on different continents to avoid capture. Plus I wanted to see if I could improve on the original. The third floor is composed of the original Death Star parts covered with Balsa wood and black duct tape to make a fully functional floor. The ground floor acts as a motor pool in the front and an air strip in the back. There is a knock-off wooden prison on the side. The card board inserts are produced from manila folders and reprints of some Star Wars scenes with modifications to make it more Joeverse compatible. The console stickers being long gone have been replaced with my own Joeverse renditions. The outer walls were done with manila folders and artist chalk then wrapped with clear contact paper to create a home-made laminate.

The top is modified and the original ion cannon and base completely removed. I reused the chair and glued it next to the new laser cannon. I spray painted the other floors black to give it a more sinister look. The missle launching crossbow and laser cannon move up and down but not left to right. The top chair I created from left over parts and I glued a Chap Mei laptop to the crossbow as its computer guidance system. I have many pics for anyone interested; three does not do this place justice. I will try to resize them all so I don't bog down your email.
