Custom The Russian, Punisher Movie Style
 

Link Removed. - Toyark Staff

Finally someone for the Marvel Legneds Tom Jane Punisher to fight...The Russian. This figure is "Frankensteining" at its best.

To create this figure, I used the torso from a Tito Santana WWE figure (from the Strike Force 2-pack), the legs and forearms (because Stone Cold's forearms were bigger...and I messed up Tito's) and hands (because Tito's hands had stupid wristbands on them) from a Deluxe Aggression Stone Cold Steven Austin and the head from a Toybiz TNA Kevin Nash figure.

I sanded off the Strike Force logo on Tito Santana's shirt, as well as the goatee on Kevin Nash's face. Then I painted Kevin's hair a light yellow with a white wash to get a blonde look, and did the same to his eyebrows. I used a mix of a flesh tone, some red, and a little black to paint the scar on his eye. The black was used because I noticed it left kind of a burnt edge to the paint which would look great for a scar.

I used sharpie pens for the tattoos and the stripes on The Russian's shirt, I let it dry then sealed it to keep it from smudging. The tattoos are complete movie accurate as well. He had a spider web tattoo on his neck that was partially covered by his shirt, and an anchor tattoo on his left forearm with the letters CCCP over it.
A lot of blood, sweat, and tears (and a slew of cursing) went into this custom. I'm pleased with the results though, and I hope you are as well.

He's also currently up on eBay right now for those who might be interested. I won't post a direct link so as not to break any rules, but you can find him through a quick and easy search. He's one of my older customs, but I've decided I don't need to keep my work anymore, so please take him off my hands for me. Thanks for looking!

Great looking custom bu...DULLCOATE!
It'll really enhance your custom and take that plastic shine off for photography!
