Sculpted by Ray Villafane and master painted by Dan Danno Cope. Note this is a pre paint and not a kit.  Randy Bowen is producing this as one. I had ask Danno for a write up on The Punisher

 

Hey Tom,
 
Thank you for allowing me to yammer on your website. I have to say, I was very excited when Randy Bowen had asked if I would have interest in painting up the new Punisher statue sculpted by Ray Villafane for Bowen Designs. To me, this is the most classic Punisher, heck...I remember owning Amazing Spider-Man #129 (the Punishers first appearance) when I was a kid and it was so great for me to see that cover art made into sculpture. Ray had done an amazing job rendering the original art into full 3-D, it's a beautiful sculpt. The photo etched base with the image of Spider-Man in the crosshairs just pulls it all together, very cool concept and design. Painting this up was a blast, I love working with blacks and grays. The paint scheme itself was decided by Randy, he explained what he was looking for and it was off to the races. I hope you all like the new Punisher.
