I love a good challenge, especially when it comes to finding different parts to fit together. Generally, I use Hasbro or Toybiz parts mixed in, but in this case I wanted to stay all Neca so the higher fine Details flowed from head to toe. Man, if Neca got the Marvel 6 or 7 inch license, I think they'd add a whole new level of detail. I mean they do skin texture on most of their figures which is mindblowing.

So, for Frank here, I decided to give him a NECA Makeover just in time for the contest. Also couldn't have had more hype to do Punisher with the recent announcement of him being in Season 2 of Daredevil. I used the following parts to give him an imposing Sideshow Olivetti style build using the statue as reference and influence for some of this custom:

Head-NECA Gears of War 2 Damon Baird (Resculpted hair and forehead since there were goggles and a flat top before)
Arms-NECA Street Fighter Guile shortened slightly
Hands-NECA Bulletstorm Grayson
Torso-NECA Gears of War Journey's end Marcus Fenix
Waist/Legs-NECA Duke Nukem w sculpted belt buckle
Bullets/straps-NECA Duke Nukem
Guns-Various Gears of War and Jonah Hex
Holster-NECA Jonah Hex

Also...
Gears of THOR!!!
Also Pictured for laughs, spirit of the contest, and size reference-haha (sorry not the clearest pic)

I repainted Punisher from head to toe, mixing flat on his costume and gloss block on the leathery parts, and used several layers of dry brushing on the punisher symbol to maintain the shirt texture. I also detailed the veins with a skin tone and green/blue mix. I'm especially happy with all the skin tones and realism in the face.

Hasbro has been kicking butt in my opinion releasing lots of great figures this year, but boy oh boy would NECA give them and Diamond Select a run for their money.

Thank you for looking and best of luck to my fellow contestants. :)
