MCP: Ultron, Metal Tyrant (Ultron) and Ultron Drones

I finally got around to assembling and painting a model from the new Marvel Crisis Protocol (Earth's Mightiest Heroes) core set, and elected to go with 'Ultron, Metal Tyrant' and his 'Ultron Drones'.

I elected to go with this model so I could have an updated Age of Ultron list that I play with my Avengers, but for the time being, Avengers are going to take a back seat.  Hopefully soon this model will hit the playing table.

MCP: Doctor Strange (Stephen Vincent Strange) (2)

I am not exactly sure why I painted up Doctor Strange at this moment, but since my second version of 'Wong' was recently painted, I decided to go ahead and paint up the second 'Doctor Strange' model that we have. 

I elected to go with the same look as how I painted 'Wong', which may make for a nice looking Midnight Sons Affiliation.  I also decided to place his portal on the base itself and make it look like Doctor Strange is coming out of it.

MCP: Cosmic Ghost Rider (Frank Castle)

I had this model sitting on my desk assembled since it's release, and this past Saturday afternoon I finally decided the prime the model.

Yesterday morning the primer was dry and 'Cosmic Ghost Rider' was ready to hit the painting table.  A few colors here and there throughout the day, and my model was completed.  Now my Guardians of the Galaxy Affiliation is complete again.

MCP: Wong (2)

I keep forgetting to make this post, but earlier in the month I decided to work on a second 'Wong' for Marvel Crisis Protocol.

"Just in case" my son and I both want to use him at the same time.  With 'Wong' 2, I elected to go with a dark blue suit compared to green suit on my previous version.

MCP: Captain America (Sam Wilson)

For me, the true Captain America is Steve Rogers, and not Sam Wilson, Sam Wilson is The Falcon. So for this Captain America model, I elected to paint it more in line with the colors of The Falcon.

I honestly do not know if he will see much time as the Leader of the Avengers in any games soon, but I do plan to make use of him in a Team Tournament event I will be attending in November.

MCP: Hulk (Bruce Banner) (Black Suit)

Lately in most of our competitive lists, we are "splashing" 'Hulk' in them since he is really good right now. I have been thinking about running a black suit Web Warriors this fall and I thought it would be cool to include a black suit 'Hulk' just to change things up a bit.

Our past event that we attended, I ended up winning Best Overall (includes Painting/Sportsmanship) and received $35 in store credit, I thought that would be a good time to purchase another 'Hulk'.

This past weekend with the family out of town, I went to work on the model, probably not the greatest looking 'Hulk' but he will definitely be different.

Daily Chronicle: Heading to Atlantic City Open 2023

I honestly did not think we would be heading to Atlantic City Open 2023 once again this year with my youngest son/s graduation next week and then the family heading to Florida (without me) for vacation, but I decided to bite the bullet and go down one more time.  Next year is going to be really tough, so I thought I was going to have fun one more time.

Atlantic City Open 2023 is Father's Day weekend this year, June 16th-18th, and my oldest son and I are both signed up for the Marvel Crisis Protocol Weekend.

We plan on arriving sometime Friday morning and just relaxing for the day and recovering from the drive.  Saturday will be the LVO Qualifier Event running 5 Rounds (so a long day) and Sunday is going to be a Fun 3 Round event for those that do not make the Top 8 from Saturday.

I am going just to have fun and enjoy the ambiance!

MCP: Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)

I think in the Fall (starting with Second Wind V), I want to play a Web Warriors roster themed with my black suit Spider-Mans, just something a bit different.

So good thing I waited just a bit to paint Spider-Woman, otherwise I would have gone with box art colors for the suit, instead, I decided to paint the model in her black suit.

MCP: Amazing Spider-Man (Peter Parker) (2)

It is not some of my greatest work, but I wanted to do something different with this 'Amazing Spider-Man'.

Early on I painted 'Spider-Man' from the Core Set with a black suit, and I wanted to do the same with this 'Amazing Spider-Man'.  I had already painted this models in the standard suit colors, but this one now will be for a "black suit" themed Web Warriors Affiliation, plus now it stands out from the other model my son always plays.

MCP: Immortal Hulk (Bruce Banner)

I was hoping to get a start on this model last weekend, but my preorder did not arrive till Monday afternoon. After dinner on Monday, the assembly began on ‘Immortal Hulk’.

I primed the model on Friday night to prep him for the painting table on the weekend. After a couple of games of MCP earlier in the day on Saturday, the first base coats went down on the model and by Sunday lunch, ‘Immortal Hulk’ was finished.
