Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist

About the Project
I have some very good friends who chipped in to pick up the newest core box for Marvel Crisis Protocol for my birthday present. One of the benefits of celebrating in my Friendly Local Game Store apparently. While I have wanted to paint some of these minis since I first saw them, I haven't been sure about diving into the entire game. Well, two of our group are completely addicted so I will have folks to play the game with, unlike my Burrows and Badgers undertakings. I must admit to being a little overwhelmed by the contents of the Core Set. There are all the rules, templates, counters, dice, terrain, and minis needed to play. Speaking of the minis, there are 13 in the new set and they are wonderful little sculpts, great detail and movement. I think this is going to be fun. Now I just need to avoid diving into the deep end and trying to acquire everything. Anyone who has been following this blog will know I have failed to restrain myself. Despite still not having played the game I have just about every character made and two thirds of them are painted. At least I'm getting some good work done.

Original Human Torch Lights Up the Collection
Pack CP77 contains Captain America-First Avenger and the Original Human Torch, the android that fought in World War2. As sets to be common, the poses are fluid and the details crisp even if they are mostly flames. Human Torch’s feet even have tiny toes. Being covered in flames made for a quick paint job. I hope Cap goes as quickly.
Gotta say, this guy really makes me impatient for the Fantastic Four!
Captain America- Sam Wilson Flies onto the Scene
Captain America- Sam Wilson is finished. Such a fun pose with a great deal of movement. Now there are two finished Captain Americas in my collection with a third primed and waiting for paint. With War Machine finished this completes set CP38. The reflective metal look on the shield was new for me but I think it came out fairly well. I may got back to the first Cap I painted and touch his shield up next.
Wolverine Rages
I finished painting one of my all time favorite Marvel characters, Wolverine. I started reading X-Men comics way back in the day (X-Men Giant Size #1) when the original team were replaced by the Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and the rest of that generation. I always loved the scrappy little mutant who took on the Hulk single handed. I might need to pick up another to paint in the more recent tan and brown color scheme but that will have to wait until I’ve assembled and painted quite a few other characters.
More X-Men await…
Bob-Agent of Hydra is Armed and Ready
Even before I finished painting the Taco Truck I had finished Bob as he was a pretty straight forward paint job. While not one of the characters that excites me, I was delighted to see him included with Deadpool as I love his role in the comic books. So great that he got a quick pop up in the first Deadpool film as well. The gun he has looks to pack quite a wallop but mostly he was an excuse to practice painting Hydra uniforms.
The Symbiote has Found a Host- Venom Is Ready!
Simple color scheme but I find white and black to be challenging colors to do well. All in all, I think this fellow came out nicely. He does look hungry.
Kingpin Gets More Color
Got a little painting done last night so thought I’d share the state of Kingpin and what else I’m working on. Amazing how long it can take to paint white.
Quite the range of genre and states of completion sitting on my painting handles right now. An Oathsworn Frog Wilding Warrior and MODOK are almost done while Deadpool is just primer. I even have a resin printed Appa waiting for his next layers.
One can see one of Bilbo's companions there amongst the MCP characters.
Even on a short base Kingpin stands tall.
Closer look at the dapper, dangerous, don.Hope to finish him tonight.Villainous Work in Progress
Since the Project system quadruple entered my last blog I am attempting to create a Work in Progress Update.
Classic Villain that should paint quickly
For some reason I decided to try and work some Non-Metallic Metal work on his bronze casing.
War Machine Is Suited Up.
War Machine is done and Captain America- Sam Wilson is started so set CP38 is on its way to completion. These are both visually dynamic minis I was excited to get into the collection. War Machine painted quickly enough as he is mostly metallic paint. Sam Wilson is taking rather longer but then he has more colors and I want to try some NMM on his shield.
