MCP: Carnage (Cletus Kasady)

More than likely, this will be the last model to be completed for 2022, and it was the most intimidating model as of lately.I have been slowly working on completing our "Spider Foes" Affiliation in anticipation of 'Rhino' arriving next month and I was down to the final two models, and one of them 'Carnage'...

MCP: M.O.D.O.K. (George Tarleton)

We originally only purchased M.O.D.O.K. for the Crisis Card that comes in his character pack, so he has been on the shelf for awhile.Well this has been the week that I was slowly working on some back log, and painting him came to mind.  Usually a model sits on the shelf (unless it is a rush need)...

MCP: Omega Red (Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich)

Currently there is not a model that I "need" to get completed, so I am just slowly working on our backlog of Marvel Crisis Protocol models.This is another model that has been sitting around for awhile that we actually have not used yet, but you never know, one day I may want to play Criminal Syndicate...

MCP: Kraven (Sergei Nikolaevich Kravinoff)

This is now back to back posts on Spider Foes with 'Lizard' being done yesterday and now 'Kraven' today.The other day, Atomic Mass Games (AMG) revealed a new model coming out in January 2023, and it is 'Rhino' and it is more than likely he will be part of the Spider Foes.  I really like the look...

MCP: Lizard (Curtis Connors)

While my son was away on Saturday playing in a MeSBG tournament, I decided to sit down and get some painting down.  I still have a pretty large back log of MCP models, so it was a perfect day to catch up.I really do not like painting white, but I am getting better at it, so 'Lizard' has been sitting...

MCP: Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) (2)

It has been once again quite awhile since I last posted, a little over a month, but that does not mean I was not busy.Even though I did not complete many models during this time, I was playing games and even attended an event in Schaumburg, IL last weekend.We possibly have another event coming up next...

MCP: Captain America (Steve Rogers) (2)

Like with Iron Man, I decided to paint up a another character from our second copy of the Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set, this time it is 'Captain America (Steve Rogers)'.My son and I both like playing Avengers, so having another 'Captain America' is starting to become a "must" for us.With this model,...

MCP: S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents

Seeing how 'Nick Fury' was posted yesterday, it is only fitting that his Grunts would follow suit.Just like with Fury, I did not like the white colored boots and webbing's used by the studio team, so I changed it to my liking and to match their leader Nick.S.H.I.E.L.D.

MCP: Nick Fury (Nicholas J. Fury, Jr.)

Well there is a chance I may be playing the S.H.I.E.L.D. Affiliation for the Las Vegas Open 2023 (and possibly AdeptiCon 2023) now that 'Steve Rogers, Captain America' is completed, but I still needed to get the Leader of the Affiliation completed, and that Leader is 'Nick Fury'.I was actually really...

MCP: Steve Rogers, Captain America (Steve Rogers)

This past Friday I was in the mood to paint the new 'Steve Rogers, Captain America', and seeing how I already had the model assembled (built him the same time as The Original Human Torch) it was an easy choice.I primed him with Grey Seer (seeing how the base of most of my colors will be Contrast) earlier...

MCP: Cassandra Nova (Cassandra Nova Xavier)

This is one model I did not think I would be painting for quite some time.  With the release of the new Sentinels next week and 'Cassandra Nova' being part of their Affiliation, I thought why not and she hit the painting table yesterday.As you can probably tell, she was painted mostly with...

MCP: Angela (Aldrif Odinsdottir)

Well I was in the mood to paint another model for Marvel Crisis Protocol, well actually I am thinking about running Guardians of the Galaxy at the Grognard Games 2022 Store Championships in November (for fun), and 'Angela' is the last model I needed to finish for the Guardians.She looked a bit intimidating...

MeSBG: 'Iron Guard' x4

Yes I know it has been awhile again since I last posted, I seemed to have slowed down quite a bit this Fall (and this is usually the time I pick things up, I guess not this year).Part of the reason is that the main game that I am currently playing is Marvel Crisis Protocol and I already painted a...

MCP: The Original Human Torch (Jim Hammond)

As I mentioned the other day, my painting of models has drastically slowed down, with 90+ models completed for Marvel Crisis Protocol, I am in the mood now to just paint what I feel like.  I am no longer rushed to get a model completed for an event (at least not until the next "hotness", so I am...

MCP: Iron Man (Tony Stark) (2)

September has been a very slow month for me this year, but I did recently manage to finish another model for Marvel Crisis Protocol.Recently I decided to purchase another Core Set (which we should have done originally when we started playing), but anyways we wanted to have another 'Captain America'...

MCP: Malekith (Malekith The Accursed)

Well I honestly did not think I would be getting around to painting this big guy so quickly, he looked a little intimidating and usually when I see that, the model sits on the shelf for a bit.I decided to tackle this guy earlier in the week and was able to complete him Tuesday morning, the stripes could...

MCP: Darkstar (Laynia Petrovna)

Last but not least to finish out the new Winter Guard Affiliation for Marvel Crisis Protocol is 'Darkstar'.Looking at her picture upon release, I was a little worried on what the assembly may be like with all the effect around her hands and legs, but this model was not that bad at all to assemble, much...
