I finally found a use for the fiesta night vipers and the red Hiss Tank drivers: Red Star and his assult team.
Red Star is basically my version of a Russian Captain America. He was given bionic arm and leg upgrades as well as a version of the super soldier formula. He is now a merc for mother Russia and has a assult squad. Red Star has heavy duty body armor and a kevlar weave 'skirt' to provide more bullet protection to his legs. Its also heavily insulated for long and cold nights. The Punishers are just quick paint jobs and kit bashes. I have been reading the newest Punisher series and have fallen in love with this take of him. He is more realistic than the traditional bright white gloves and boots. He also has a skull balaclava in this series which I tried my best to make. The balaclava Punisher is a stealth mission tactical loadout. The Ray Stevenson version is a heavy assult Punisher ( not shown is his helmet, S.A.W., backpack, and shotgun ). Last edited by nightrattler; 01-21-2019 at 05:49 PM.. |

The red star is pretty good , but the skull masked punisher's head is too tall on his neck it doesn't look right its way out of proportion i would use the para-viper or another one but that shock trooper head does not work .

Thanks for the feedback, but in the comic series his mask is very loose fitting so the Para-viper head dies not work. I know it sits tall for the body, but it doesn't bother me in the least. Here is a reference pic of the mask he wears in the series:

I know the mask he wears and i know the series well , all i said was it sat high maybe drill it out and it will sit lower ,the bottom of the mask doesnt even sit on the shoulder , it looks like you just sat the head on the neck look how high his head sits look how high up his eyes are ,really that doesnt bother you , you spend time painting a figure but that detail doesnt matter to you at all . Sorry you cant handle a little constructive criticism , little things like that can make or break a custom IMO . I guess i should have said it looks unfinished to me since the more i look at it thats what it looks like is unfinished .
