This one ended up bein more work than I had expected. Base is ML Punisher, the small head, big hands and feet seemed to work for this manga influenced version of the character. I removed punisher's pouches and skull teeth, sculpted a new chest and costume details with epoxy putty. The hood came from a LOTR Strider and is still removeable. I cut away the front of the hood so his face is better exposed and then dremeled the hood to get rid of the angular cuts as well as the pointy tip on the top of the hood. Then I glued the bottom halves of the hood together.

When sculptin the thigh pads, I first glued a piece of cardboard to the upper thigh, leaving the lower thigh free to swivel. The thigh pads also helped cover up the Kiwus joint on punishers hips while retaining their function.. Punisher was still a little too thick so I ended up dremelin his waist, thighs (especially at the back) and his calves. I got the idea for using vinyl for his dual shoulder holsters from HPZ's Taskmaster and they worked out beautifully. And thanks to Magnuz fer the idea of using a rubberband fer the scabbard. The guns were from Lara Croft and the sword came from a Sephiroth fig.
