Psyber's Supers (Marvel)

[psyberwyche]

Among my many projects, I've been working on some Marvel superheroes for some time. I now have enough models to call a 'collection', so figured I'd start a thread on them. I'm a bit reticent, as there've been some amazing threads recently - Opponenttheory's supers thread is so stonking that I want to resign from painting, for example! But for my sins, here's what I came up with...

So far we have: Spidey




The Green Goblin





Iron Man



Black Panther (a plastic toy from the Handful of Heroes range)



And Black Widow

I do have some other models already done and nearing completion, but I need to get them photographed.

Weird thing about these metal Marvel figures - I find them really difficult to paint, and I'm not really sure why. I definitely think they're a bit under my usual standard of painting, even though I tried my damnedest. Ah well!

They look pretty good!

The superheroes are quite different to most other models out there. Few have weapons or any of the usual accessories and their costumes tend to have lots of smooth areas. The details tend to be simpler too, typically basic shapes repeated a lot such as on captain america's torso or colossus's metal skin. And of course the colour schemes are often two or three saturated spectral hues.

I really like the Spidey, very Steve Ditko.

Look great. Really like the cloaked Black Panther as well!

One of the first Marvel minis I painted, the Hulk is probably still my favourite. He's HUGE, but unlike the ones in the post above, was a joy to paint. (But a b*tch to assemble )





Probably going to rebase him actually - that base looks rather small, and the Marvel game rules from Knight Models now states that he should be on a larger base...

Some fine painting on display, good job.

[psyberwyche]

Added a couple more this week.

Apologies for the mild threadomancy, but I've painted a few more minis for my Avengers crew.


Okay, I can't resist...

"AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!"

[Andym]

Wow! That's some MARVELous painting!

[jambo1]

Lovely painting, really like the Green Goblin and the Hulk.

[supervike]

Those are some SUPER super heros!

Sorry I'd missed this thread.  All are fantastic, but that Hulk....

[Supercollider]

Amazing PJs.  I really like the Hulk and Vision.  Did you post a close up of Thor?

[psyberwyche]

Thanks everyone! Definitely most proud of Hulk. I'm finding these models tough to paint because of all the smooth areas. Haven't quite mastered that comic-book style yet, whereas Hulk's large size allowed me to use my 'normal' painting style.

Just realised I never did take a photo of Thor on his own. Huh. Have this one for now

[supervike]

Thor looks great!
