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 month (a little bit more local) and both my son and I have been playing with Avengers more often, so yesterday I decided we better get our second copy of 'Black Widow' (Natasha Romanoff) completed.

I had 'Black Widow' built before our game yesterday and then once the game was completed I primed her and we hit the painting table.  A few hours later she was completed.

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, I elected to go more of the comic blue (like I did with the WW2 version) compared to the MCU blue, now the same two models can look slightly different.

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.

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 leaning towards trying A-Force out for the first time at these two events (and I still may change it), but I'll have to get a few games of S.H.I.E.L.D. in first and see how I like them.

I did not like the color white that was used by the studio team on some parts of the model, so I changed it to my liking.

Here is Nick Fury (Nicholas J. Fury, Jr.):

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 in the afternoon to prep him for evening painting.

A few hours later, and voila 'Steve Rogers, Captain America' is completed.  My original 'Captain America' from the Core Set I wanted to go with a darker MCU blue for his costume, with this one, we (son and I) wanted more of the comic book look and I think we achieved that.  I will probably be using the same color palette when I paint another Core Set 'Captain America'.

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 Contrast paints by Games Workshop and I am happy with the way she turned out, I am still iffy on the Snakebite Leather used for the coat, but she will do.

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 to me so that is why she sat on the shelf for so long, but earlier this week I got her assembled and she hit the painting table.

Here is 'Angela'.

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 lot of models for the game this year and not it is just painting models that I feel like painting.

Anyways this post is not about MCP, but instead MeSBG.  "Rings of Power" on Amazon Prime has given me a small itch that needs a little scratching, so my son and I are going to try Battle Companies at AdeptiCon 2023, Battle Companies is a very small (skirmish) version of MeSBG just to get back into the game for me, there is a chance of a full blown MeSBG for Nova Open 2023.

I figure I would start with my Kingdom of Khazad-Dum army and start to add a few models for it that may be needed during promotions in Battle Companies.

Here are four 'Iron Guard' that I have just completed.

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 just enjoying myself (although there will be some models needed for MeSBG that will have to make their way to my table, but that is a different post).

This next model, I saw a user on Facebook post his version and how easily he painted it and it looked good, I thought "I could do that" and yesterday I did just that.

Here is 'The Original Human Torch', Jim Hammond.

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' and 'Iron Man' in case my son and I both want to play Avengers at the same time.

I decided to tackle 'Iron Man' first (since I knew now how to paint him like my 'Hulkbuster').  This is the second copy of Iron Man (Tony Stark) that we own.
