After picking up a Horizon's Punisher model I was not looking to build it, but just keep it in my collection.  Then I ran across a 1/6 scale modern gattling gun, made for GI Joe type figures, and could not resist putting these two together.  This is the process of customizing the Punisher to hold the gattling gun.
First off both arms have to repositioned into a more bent position.  For the right arm only the elbow had to be cut and moved.  I cut the elbow out and added two-part epoxy into the ends of the upper and lower parts of the arm.  Then I added an aluminum wire  to connect the halves.  This allows me to change the position of the arm to get the best fit for the gun.
The left arm required a cut at the elbow and a cut at the shoulder to get the proper position.  The shoulder cut allows the arm to pivot out from the body.
After playing with the figure and gun together the final positioned is determined and the shoulders are glued.  Then I used  Magic Sculpt to fill in the voids in the arms.
The hard part is sculpting in the muscles on the arms for the new position.  Again I used Magic Sculpt and several muscle mags for reference.
Note in this shot of the left arm that I have changed the position of the hand.  It tilts downward from the wrist.
