Here's the first of what will hopefully be several marvel crisis core sets that I paint:

You should paint for AMG, these are waaaaaaaay better than the studio paintjobs!
Fantastic man. Having assembled 7 out of the 10 I know how shallow the detail is on these, which makes the paintjobs even more awesome.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I suspect Dallas Kemp could paint better if he wanted.

And yes the details are a struggle to deal with especially since I like to use relatively thick paints. Iron Man took about three attempts to get right and by the end I had to use a reference image to locate the panel lines.

He might be able to paint better, but I wonder if he can get that spot-on superhero look you always manage to get.

And no...I'm not looking forwards to painting mine I must say...and I think the assembly is terrible too. I think I never disliked assembling miniatures as much as with these.

Agreed Malebolgia.

I've been looking forward to these models untill I starter painting them. The sculpts are really cool and lovely poses, but I had to dunk a model in alcohol for the first time in a long while to clean it.
Assemly wasn't to bad overall, except for Iron man and ultron which had several parts that where very similar and took me a while to figure out how each leg would go together and where I should put it. For the price of the mini's I was expecting more, but I a huge marvel fanboy.
The game is fun enough, though.

Back to the topic of the thread, this is jawdropping as ususal. I hope mine come out 1/4 as nice and I'll be very happy indeed.

Meh, that's an overtalked piece of plastic. The thing is that they feel unnecessarily complex and they can be improved. If you compare these to Games Workshop plastics, AMG can improve their plastics a lot. They're not bad, but they're not great gateway models. And with a license like this they should be nice and easy to assemble. I can imagine this will attract people new to the hobby simply because it's Marvel and comes with a nice and shiny boxed set. But the assembly will be very daunting for beginners.

So I'm a bit behind with my posting. This time around though it's because I've been too busy! Between painting for 10 hours a day and keeping up with everything that's going I've not had time for anything else. Things are starting to settle down and not having to chase after work is freeing up some mental energy so I'll be catching up with all of my finished projects soon enough.

First up are some more Marvel Crisis models. Still not convinced with these, assembly is so annoying and the details are very soft. That said Thor and Valkyrie were quite fun to do and are probably my favourites so far.
