Punisher van WIP

Here?s my work in progress attempt at a custom Punisher van.
I picked up the TMNT Mutant Mayhem pizza van from Canadian Tire on sale with my Canadian Tire money.

I?m still working on how to fill in the open back windows as well as waiting on some small Punisher skull stickers which I ordered (don?t know if I?ll put one of the stickers on or not yet).

Re: Punisher van WIP

Thats very cool looking. Could work for all kinds of 6 inch scale figures.

Look into styrene sheets at a model store or on amazon for window fillers. Super easy to work with.

Might be cool to set up balsa wood and spray it to make it look like Castle physically boarded up the windows. Seems like something he'd do

Great idea for repurposing a Turtles van! Can't wait to see it finished. Any plans for a Microchip to stay in the van?

Re: Punisher van WIP

Thanks for the suggestions regarding the rear windows.

Arishikage: I had hoped to luck out and find a 6 inch Jurassic Park Dennis Nedry figure at a decent price since Wayne Knight played Microchip in the Punisher:War Zone flick, but that’s looking unlikely.

I could use some suggestions for a Microchip figure. My sculpting sucks so I’m hoping to find something I could kitbash and repaint

Re: Punisher van WIP

you could get a small storage container from dollarama made of thin clear plastic and has a flat side to it.

cut out the section of flat plastic with a box cutter so you have a sheet. a sturdy pair of scissors will cut you windows down to the needed size/shape.

you can paint the inside of your window black as well if you want a tinted effect that retains a shine from the unpainted plastic side.

Re: Punisher van WIP

Thanks Webs, but isn’t that the 3.75 inch version of Nedry? I thought the 6 inch version had the ab crunch (or belly crunch in this figure’s case)

Re: Punisher van WIP

Ah jeez you're right, it is the 4 inch one. The packaging and naming of the newer jurassic park toylines all looks and sounds the same, got me confused.

Re: Punisher van WIP

I?ve filled in the back windows and I?ve stuck the Jon Bernthal Marvel Legends Punisher figure in the front seat to show the van seems to work with MLs.
I?m still waiting on a Punisher skull sticker that I might add to the side of the van. I ordered some 1.5 inch stickers but they?re a little too big, so I ordered some smaller ones from Etsy which are on the way.
