First Custom Attempt - No Laughing

[abnormalent]

Well, laugh if you must. I stumbled across a Punisher decal and figured I would attempt a custom. The head (a 1974 Jon from CHiPs) is a bit grey from the migration, but I didn't want to use something expensive I couldn't fix later! The boots and ammo packs are 1971 Action Jackson and the gloves are a modern repro molded plastic. I used beat up, but functional, T1 Riddler body with a broken index finger. The M16 is a vintage POTA piece. Overall, I don't think it turned out too shabby. Next up? Mandrake the Magician!

No laughing here, great start at customizing. Keep it up.

ALOT better then my first one. You have the custom bug now. Judging by this, you have some talent

[abnormalent]

Thanks! It is a bug... I'm scared now, lol.

Great start at customizing! Looks really good to me!

Looks good to me. Costume looks great. Your Punisher skull came out perfect. The accessories are all spot on.

The only itty-bitty criticism I have is that the Punisher usually has slicked-back hair. The hair style on that head doesn't quite say Punisher to me.

One hint on taking pictures: You're getting a weird distortion/fish-eye lens effect on the first pic. If you have a camera with a zoom you can get the camera a little further from the figure and zoom in on it and it will eliminate a lot of that fore-shortining effect.

Neat!

Good use of parts. Believe it or don't; that's actually a skill. He looks real good, especially for a first go.

Excellent hint, thank you! Yeah. The hairstyle is too Dutch Boy, but I didn't want to spend a lot to just ruin something. Plans in place for a new head already.

Thanks, all!

No laughing matter and FAR better than my first one.

Call me Echo, way better than my first and plenty respectable. Standing by for the follow-up.
