I just started painting the Crisis Protocol miniatures and really loved doing them. The assembly sucks ass, but the miniatures look great and they paint up very well.
My kids could choose which ones to paint and my daughter picked Black Widow and my son Groot. Both were a blast to do and Groot went superfast, around 2 hours I think.

They look outstanding!

Very nice.

Thanks guys! And the third one done:
Red Skull

Great work. Love the battle worn look on Black Widow, much more MCU than comic!
You've done 3 more than I have as all of mine are sitting in their boxes as I cannot face putting them together but can't stop buying the releases.
God knows why they took what should have been a great entry level game and them make putting the pieces together so bloody awkward (pouches on Cap and stinger on BW spring to mind) and they're not even multi-pose!
Should have done one-piece casts like Godtear! Would have appealed to a much wider spectrum I think.
Sorry, seem to have hijacked your excellent thread! Please keep up the great work as it might help me get started!

Thanks! And yeah, at first I wanted her a bit cleaner, but I got here and I liked the effect.

I agree man. The assembly was weird and in some ways ridiculous. But I must say that I only raged at Captain Marvel and her arms. I'm so annoyed that they don't use the sprue letters to explain which part should go where. So I glued the left upper arm to the lower right and vice versa, had to correct it, stuff didn't stay in place well...RAGE! But I got there and with some plastic goop I managed to cover all up the seams.
And by now I've assembled everything I have. Even Star Lord with his 4-part head was fine by then!
But it would be waaaaaay better if they had a casting method like what Archon Gaming uses, the Unicast way. That way they would have gotten super dynamic and awesome models as single part models. That would have been the way to get more new players into the game who aren't familiar with the hobby aspect.

These are looking good Mal!!
I've got mine mostly assembled, but now I know where to come to steal paint ideas!!
-
Thanks vikey! They are a lot of fun to paint. And I finished one more too:
We are Venom
(http://paintoholic.nl/images/venom1.jpeg)
(http://paintoholic.nl/images/venom2.jpeg)
He's one of my favourite characters so I had to get him. Super easy to assemble and loads of fun to paint. Initially I wanted him to be the black Venom with some blue and purple tones in the shadows and highlights. So I first airbrushed him for a zenithal undercoat and then applied two ink tones...and really liked the blue and purple. So instead of a black venom, he's got a lot more colour now. But I'm really happy with the final result.
For the tongue I wanted that slimy green look he sometimes had in the comics. I used some UHU glue with Vallejo Scorpion Green and added the supertacky mix with a toothpick.
Next up will be Rocket Raccoon.
-
And Rocket Raccoon! Fun little model and awesome to paint too.

Next will be Captain Marvel, my daughter wants me to do her next. Her wish is my command!
-
Nice tail
-
Nice painting.
-
great painting.
OSL on the red skull is brill.
did you add the yucky green stuff to venom? very well done anyhow.
-
Thanks guys!
@Bloggard: Yes! Supereasy to do. Mix some UHU glue (the "flincke flasche" version, it contains solvents and the green version does not) with bright green paint...wait until it thickens and then apply the stringy goo. Works really well for slime and blood and other icky stuff!
-
thanks very much Malebolgia.
-
And another one done...Captain Marvel! Took me a while, because I don't like blue. So I procrastinated like a pro. But in the end I enjoyed painting her a lot and had a lot of fun with the OSL. I was heavily inspired by the excellent tutorial by Sorastro in YouTube (link: https://youtu.be/_hqR7RinDZM)
For the base I added several printed newspapers and a bottle by Meng.

My son wants Doc Ock next. Already dreading doing those arms in NMM...
-
Really lovely. I had a heck of a time putting that figure together.

Thanks man! And hahaha, I know, right?? Those arms...urgh. Fortunately my plastic goop mix melted the seems very nicely, hiding my super clumsy assembly.
-
Forgot to post him, but Star Lord is also finished. Fantastic to paint and Sorastro's YouTube tutorial was really useful for this.

Gomora and Drax are ready for paint too, hope to finish the whole Guardians cast soon!
-
looks fantastic :-*
-
Thanks!
-
Next one...Gamora. So only Drax remaining for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Had a blast painting her. Love her outfit and pose and she went quite fast. With a zenithal priming it didn't take long before I got the white how I wanted it to look.

These are exceptionally awesome.
-
Nice work on those (and now I have the inspiration for that Stargrave metal figure).
-
Thank you guys! And here's the last member of the Milano: Drax the Destroyer!
I just finished reading the Annihilation series and this really motivated me to paint him. Lots of fun as always and I'm very happy with the gritty metallics I got on him.

And a group shot with all of the Guardians together:

My son told me I had to do Doc Ock next...so lots of tricky NMM...
-
So after more than a year it finally was time to do Doctor Octopus! And it was challenging with the bending and twisting arms...but not as challenging as I dreaded. So in the end he went quite fast and I liked painting him a lot. I approached all the cylinders in the tentacles more in a sketching way, painting big highlights and shades and then going in for the detailed work. That was different from how I often approach NMM, so insightful and fun to do!
And since he is finished, I started with Spider-Man, seemed like the logical next choice.

yeah, that's come out great - fantastic comic-book look.
-
Beautiful painting on that figure. Totally takes me back to reading Spider-Man comics back in the 1980s, in a good way!
-
Great painting across the board and I particularly like your Star Lord.
-
Cheers lads! The comic book look is nice to read as that is what I hoped to achieve :). Also cool on Star Lord...he is my favourite paintjob so far, so woohoo!
And the next one is Spider-Man. Rather easy to do, although the whole web effect was a bit fiddly. Still, nice easy sculpt and cool pose.

And my son wants Crossbones next!
-
Oh, there's some great painting in here, and I really like the lively base designs you use.
-
Thanks! Yeah, I'm quite happy with the bases. And they are really nice chunks of plastic, really easy to paint and make them both stand out and blend in.
-
Brilliant stuff! I think your Doc Oc is my fave! That darker tone with the OSL really suits him! 8) 8) 8)

I will be playing my first game tomorrow, so wanted to paint some more miniatures for my "Guardians of the Galaxy group". So I did Nebula and Ronan, both great models to paint and I can't wait to try them out on the tabletop.
Nebula

Ronan the Accuser

And I received some web warriors today, so Agent Venom will probably be next...
-
fab
-
Love the greens on Ronan.
-
Nice painting, though the first shot of Ronan made him look like he was holding out an opened Christmas present done up with a bow.
It is the angle of the shot, not the painting of the hammer.
-
Great colours, Ronan is suitably menacing. Is that a spilt coffee cup on his base? 8) 8)
-
Very nice work again. I like the Nebula figure in general. And very good call on the yellow on the thing on the base of Ronan. IIRC some of those bases come with the dotted signage things, so I hope I remember your idea there next time I run across one of those bases!
