MCP: Daredevil (Matt Murdock) (2)

As I mentioned in my last post about 'Ancient One', I have been undecided on which Affiliation to play next, but have been leaning towards trying out Defender's.

Usually my son and I try not to purchase duplicate models unless we really have to, and in this I really had to since my son usually has 'Daredevil' in his rosters.

I did not really like the original pose of the model with only one secure point to the base (this scares me), so I rummaged through some of my terrain bits and found some crates that I could model 'Daredevil' on.

Next, I needed to think if what color I wanted to paint his suit.  I was leaning towards the traditional dark red, but my 'Wong', 'Dr. Strange' and my Web Warriors, I went with black suits, so I decided to paint this one with a black suit also.  This way it also different than the once we already completed.

MCP: Ancient One

It is actually already June 2nd and the models completed for this year are pretty low, but today I decided to sit down and get another model completed.

I have been undecided as of late what the next Affiliation I want to play, I have been leaning towards X-Men (why 'Professor X' was the last model painted), but now I may be leaning towards Defenders.  I came across a roster that seems interesting to me and I would not mind playing it for awhile.  One catch is that the 'Ancient One' is in the roster and our model was not yet painted.

Last night I primed the model black because I wanted to try the slapchop method of painting on her.  When the primer was dry, I dry brushed the grey and white and started on the Contrast paint.  I ended up doing some more dry brushing/highlights besides just the Contrast.  This was my first time doing slapchop and I think I needed more grey on the model, the cloak is a bit darker than I had hoped for, but she is still table top quality I feel.
