Continuing with the recent themes of dumpsters and large, square metal boxes, today I’m showing the first four bits of terrain from Marvel Crisis Protocol that I’ve painted. These also wrap up my September posts with the Round-up to follow very shortly. I’d managed to resist the game, but a series of articles by Justin over at The Solo Meeple as he painted his way through his collection slowly turned me over a few months from indifference to very interested – and then when I looked around online it turned out that pretty much all of the feedback for the game was quote positive through different review channels that I follow on YouTube, forums like Dakka and Reddit, and now they have an impending release of The Punisher and several of the X-Men…
It also tied in with the thoughts of using some Zombie models to play something like Last Days, and then a box magically appeared in my house, fileld with Marvel Goodies! What else could I do but put all of the hero and villain models to one side and start assembling the terrain pieces…?
The mentality there is “saving” the best for last… With a complete lack of heroes to stand alongside, we once again have a Hasslefree model that absolutely is not of Simon Pegg to provide us with some size reference, alongside one of those Mantic bins…
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
With the right background setting I’d that was a photograph of real life, top notch stuff mate

Ditto here. I can almost feel the plastic of the lids. Photoshopped in some pic of an alley, I bet one would never know it’s a mini. Great work Azazel!

Thanks for the mention, Azazel, much appreciated.
Looking good, mate. I like what you’ve done with the lights, wish I’d added some colour to mine now! Those Mantic Bins look the right scale for the game too.
I see you’ve added some decals to the dumpsters; I was just working up to adding some graffiti and posters to mine, but I might go down the same road now I’ve seen yours.

Yep that is some beautiful and very realistic looking scenery you presented in your last few posts, I’d kill to get my hands on any of them!
Cheers Roger.

You’ve made them look really good. I’ve enjoyed MCP so I’ll be interested to live through the core box again vicariously via your blog.

All of this terrain unsurprisingly looks awesome! I am a big Marvel fan and will be happy to see you paint anything from the game. It does look like a cool game and while I don’t know that I’ll have the time and money pick it up, I’m sure I’d love to play it. I’ve thought about picking up a couple of my favorite characters and painting them one day though I haven’t looked to see what they’ve released in a while. Last time I looked, the options were a bit limited but it is something I will have to file away and remember when I need another project to tackle.
All this is to say, I’d love to see you paint some more Marvel minis 🙂
