MCP: Crosbones (Brock Rumlow)

This is the last model that needed to be completed from the Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set, and how fitting it is that it is also the last day of Q1 in 2022.

It has been a good Quarter for me painting (usually Winter/Fall are for me) and now that Spring/Summer are coming, it will more than likely slow down a bit.

So here is 'Crossbones'.

MCP: Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius)

With 'Amazing Spider-Man' being completed yesterday, it is only fitting to post one of his Spider Foes today, here we have 'Doctor Octopus'.

This is actually the first time for me that a majority of the model was painted with Games Workshop Contrast Paints, and I am quite happy how he turned out.

MCP: Amazing Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

I have to admit, I was a little scared when it came time to paint 'Spider-Man', but I took my time, and I am really happy on how he came out.

On my first 'Spider-Man' from the Core Set, I took the easy way out and painted the black suit, but wit this model I wanted to paint the traditional red and blue suit, and it came out good.

The month of March is almost over and need to finish posting what was completed in the first quarter of 2022.

Up next we have 'Black Cat', who came in the box set with 'Amazing Spider-Man' (hint hint)

Weekly Chronicle 2022 #13 (AdeptiCon 2022 Recap)

AdeptiCon 2022 has come and gone, and unfortunately 2022 was a short event for me. I had to work on Thursday and had other personal commitments on Saturday, so Friday was my only day to really attend the event.

I was originally signed up for the Warhammer 40,000 Friendly on Friday, with the plan that I was able to get downstairs on Thursday to do my Vendor Hall shopping, but real work kept me busy all day on Thursday.

Thursday night after dinner, I did get a game of Warhammer 40,000 in with my son, and then I decided to bow out of the Friendly on Friday and do my Vendor Hall shopping and visits with old friends.

I did really good in the Vendor Hall, I was so tempted to pick up a few different games, but I never have time, so I kept it to my main two core of the year, Warhammer 40,000 and Marvel Crisis Protocol, and most of it was for MCP.

AdeptiCon 2022 purchases.

I am disappointed I could only attend 1 day at the greatest miniature convention in the US, next year I will plan it a bit better and make sure nothing else interferes with the weekend.

Here are a few pics from the time I was there.

MCP: War Machine (James Rhodes)

I am not a huge fan of the new 'Captain America', but I really do like 'War Machine' and the two of them come together in the same box (I'll eventually get around to Sam).

As soon as I received 'War Machine', he was built and hit the painting table.

MCP: Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)

I am here at AdeptiCon 2022 adding more to my MCP collection, that I have to get going on another post.

Up next is 'Captain Marvel' Carol Danvers, another model from the Core Set.

When I first finished her and saw the way her face turned out, these lyrics just popped into my head.

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world

Life in plastic, it's fantastic

MCP: Kingpin (Wilson Fisk)

I have been away on vacation and have fallen behind on getting models posted here to the site.

To continue with the "DareDevil" theme, the next model completed is 'Kingpin', Wilson Fisk.

MCP: DareDevil (Matt Murdock)

Since 'Bullseye' was posted earlier this morning, for the afternoon I decided to post my son's 'DareDevil' that he painted.

MCP: Bullseye (Benjamin Poindexter)

While my son is working on his 'DareDevil' model, I decided to build 'Bullseye' from the box and get him painted. I prefer the look from old 2003 movie (mainly black), but decided to go with the comic colors.

MCP: Star-Lord (Peter Quill)

For now this is my last model for the Guardians of the Galaxy, the leader of the affiliation, and it is 'Star-Lord', Peter Quill.

I am not the greatest at taking photos of my models and only have my phone, but I am really happy on how this model turned out, looks really good to the eye.

Eventually I am going to add the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy to our collection, I just need to prioritize which models we want first.
