The PUNISHER
I'm not into comic-book heroes or super-heroes for that matter. The only exception being Marvel's: PUNISHER. A brutal & violent psychologically troubled antihero who battles criminals from: The Italian Mafia, Russian Mob, Colombian drug cartels, Chinese Triads to the Japanese Yakuza etc.
The Punisher does not possess any super-powers but relies purely on his military training & diversified range of weaponry in his lone vigilante campaign against crime. Therein lies the appeal: the use of GUNS GUNS GUNS & more GUNS in The Punisher's arsenal.
The idea for a 1/6 Punisher bash first took hold right around the time the movie one-sheet for Punisher-War Zone first appeared in 2008. I had missed out on the previous 12-inch Punisher release from Marvel Studios back in the day & regrettably, there had also not been any 1/6 Punisher release from other makers all this while.
This bash is based on the Punisher-War Zone movie but not entirely 100% movie accurate due to certain limitations. Credit for the commission work of the vest, slight mod & painting of the h/s goes to Mr. Pang of YellowBox Trade who was more than kind to indulge my request. Next, gratitude to my fellow 1/6 mate Kev.-LTK for his willingness to part with the HT left-leg hostler.
The bash is far from perfect.... not by a long shot, but it's a fulfillment of a subject matter that i wanted realize for some time.
