Dual Punisher Builds, TV & War Machine Versions WIP. Sniper Rifle Case Made. 3RD Punisher Figure Started.

Thanks! Well the whole IM idea is very Sci-Fiesque so I might as well go the whole hog and add a bit of Gundam like overkill to it especially for the Punisher WM suit. The previous larger suit I made for my Punisher has two Gatling guns, Barrett .50 rifle, two M60's, auto grenade launcher, auto shotgun, missile pod, Javelin anti-tank rocket launcher, two belt fed P90's, M2A1 flamethrower, two chainsaw driven oscillating sword blades, many loose grenades, various knives and a S&W model 500 revolver oh and built in claymore mines. I'm still working on the sniper rifle set up for this one but have solved the stabiliser mounting quandary I had.

Assuming that thing on the boot is the stabilizer in question, very nicely done.

That's pretty cool. Actually makes sense to stabilize him when he's firing all those weapons.

Thanks! Yup one of a pair of spikes that ram into the ground.

Cheers! For that and stopping him being pushed back by a larger opponent say an armoured King Pin...now that would be an interesting build...

Uh oh! Armored Kingpin. Did you just come up with your next build...?

It's an interesting idea and could make a great build, big white armour with giant fists! But I have so many ideas and so much lined up already to do... At least I have two large bags of white Lego etc..

I wonder if there isn’t a knock-off Hulbuster that would make for a good starting point for a Kingpin...

I've already got two! The large Hasbro Tech Titan one and the oversized Legends one. Already thought of that, worried the red will show too much when chipped or scratched though.

Just some pics of detail work for the sniper rifle that will fold up on his back and then be deployed over his shoulder with a built in sensor array for automated rangefinding and wind speeds etc.., Gatling gun has an added hose, camera, new bracket and mini sensor array for detecting and tracking targets while communicating with the suit's on board AI for ammunition conservation and avoiding friendly fire. I added another set of springs to the leg struts/supports as mechanical assists for the servo driven motors in both directions and mostly looks. The arrays etc.. don't need to be that big with modern technology but I figured this way they can be seen by people looking at the figure and convey that the weapons are 'smart' and not just point and shoot.















I need to drill holes and screw this base for the sniper rifle hinge system on to the left shoulder clearing the rocket pod.

You make two of these gun-loaded figured, and then pose them running alongside each other, and you've got your own personal arms race.

LOL! Not the worst joke I've heard, luckily for you I have a mate who specialises in them... unluckily for me!
I've already told myself if the sniper rifle looks too much I'll save it for another build, we'll find out today, should work/look okay...

Well that was a pain, broke my mini hand drill and had to use my bigger hand drill to fix it! Got the sniper rifle mounted at last along with everything else except for the knife and skull logo. This is a pre paint mock up if you like and yes even I'm amazed he can stand unaided with all that gear!! I have put him on a stand for now though not wanting to tempt fate...





























Or shoved over to the side a bit it looks more compact:







Standing fully armed up and unsupported! Not even tried using the stabilisers yet.

















OK, got a stand now for my piece of mind..

The stand is probably a wise decision, as we know your place seems to be exposed to the only earthquakes in Wales (when you bump into things and tables shake, sending items scattering to their doom). But it is great to know that the piece can stand by itself -- just out of curiosity, why didn't you try the stabilizers?

I forgot .

We do have had real earthquakes in Wales, although nothing compared to the ones I grew up with in Greece.

LOL. Happens to us all. And I believe that (about Greek earthquakes). If nothing else, I remember the beginning of my favorite Lara Croft movie...

Holy cow, that is epic! That is a massive amount of firepower. Crazy cool.

A very sexy skintight silver number if I remember correctly and a jet-ski..

Thanks Mark! And now he has a knife too!! Okay that doesn't sound quite as intimidating as his other weapons but I still think it looks cool...

Right.. before I take him to bits for paint I thought I'd demonstrate how his weapon systems pack away when not in use, ends up with a sort of Sand Trooper like backpack which I think is quite acceptable given the built in superhuman strength of the suit and he's not marching around a desert planet in a body stocking and non mechanically supported Plastisteel!











Compared to fully deployed:

Just finished the two skulls using the new Punisher logo. The flash whites it out a lot but I still might add some grey sponge work.

The skulls look absolutely awesome. Well done!

Wow it's getting better and better at every step, all those guns look so badass once deployed, totally meeting the original concept and early drawings of the Punisher! And the logo is coming out so nicely... Fantastic build!

About the armored kingpin, you might want to see the "armored" hammerhead they designed for the recent videogame Spiderman. It's more an exoskeleton than a proper armor but it looks cool!

Bitchin’ (is that still a term?). Really looks great.

Thanks GF! I still want to tweak the odd bit.

Thanks blackpool! Which drawings are those? As for Hammerhead, completely forgot he existed! I'm recalling vague memories of my childhood comics and remembering a Frankenstein like 1930's Mafia guy with a Thompson? Great idea, need to look into that!

Well I know what it means so that's what matters LOL! Thanks!

I've been detail painting all day and most of the night before, finally done all the touch up paint too, I don't think I'll weather him on this build, not sure yet. I have him back together but need to finish a few details like the muzzle brake for the anti-material/sniper rifle and some lens type bits here and there. The purple looks more blue in the pics.

No edge work done yet here:






Now it's been done:

Looks very nice and sharp.

Very cool. I like the purple accents. Slick.

Just what I needed to hear, that the purple accents were looking good to others and the lines are sharp enough   . The pics aren't the best I've noticed LOL, sorry about that but I'll make up for it in the finished thread pics. Thanks guys!

Jon Bernthal in an Iron Man suit would be unstoppable. Only old age and writing could beat him.

As with all your work, there are too many great things to point out. But the spongework on that chestskull really ties the suit together.

Thank you so much Ovy! Done plenty more sponge work since those pics as I decided to weather him after all, have I over done it? What do you guys think? Not the best pics again  Sorry! Let me know anyway, I'm going to sleep on it I think and see how I feel about the paint in the morning as I can reduce it fairly easily with black ink and a sponge . Anyway he's mostly together now as you can see, I just had to remove his accessories to paint them, finished up those little details too apart from repulsor hands.
