Continuing with the month’s overall theme of Dave Stone’s current Season of Scenery Challenge we have a lot of smaller terrain pieces from the Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set as well as a few extra pieces from Mantic.
First up we have another pair of Crisis Protocol Dumpsters. This pair is from my second Core Box that I picked up as it was on sale and not terribly more than picking up the NYC Terrain Box set, but also had the benefits of extra dice, rulers and a second set of figures to play with. I painted the initial pair of Dumpsters back in 2020, so I’m hopeful that I’ll finally get my shit together soon and be able to have a game with a fully painted set.
I also found the initial pair of Traffic Lights that I’d partly base coated, got the newer pair up to speed and then completed the four of them. Credit to Jay Adan for his downloadables that made my life easier in terms of the stop-go people and the “instructions” on them.
I also finished the single Rubbish Bin and the Street Lights from my second set. I’m pretty sure I painted the original Rubbish Bin in the past as well, but I’m not going to go searching for the link to it. These Mantic Bins used to be called “Mars Attacks” scenery, and that’s how mine were purchased as well as listed the last time I posted them but given that this particular licence has long expired and that the same terrain pieces still continue to be sold today as part of the Terrain Crate range, it only makes sense for me to call them that here. The previous bins were painted green, as “Rubbish Bins” while I went for yellow on this second set, which are more in line with how public “Recycling Bins” look around these parts.
To wrap up, here’s a few models providing us with scale – We’ve got Reaper’s Berkeley, a Zombicide figure, a Primaris Marine and Crossbones from Marvel Crisis Protocol.
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Excellent work on all mate, the weathering looks perfect on all, maintained but well used, which is perfect for the setting.

Thanks Dave! Hoping to get some use out of these finally – and with luck in a few different urban games!

Lovely! But shouldn’t the “go” walk sign be white? These are NYC signage after all!

Well, Technically, yes – but not all (in fact, most) of the Urban games I use these in won’t be set in NYC or even necessarily in US. The red/green walking men are what we have here so I went for local readbility. That’s why the street lamps are in that particular shade of forest green.

Those dumpsters look so good, I’d take a dive in them! 😉 Eric is right on that traffic symbol is white here in the States but I still immediately recognized it for what its worth. All of these bits came out really well and you’re reminding me that I need to get some of the Fallout equivalents and have a go at those in the future. Great work all around, mate!

Cheers mate – who knows what bounty you may find inside? With the symbols I skipped the ones that were obviously “correct” on Jay Adan’s downloads and went for local readability with a touch of IDGAF on full accuracy – so those walking dudes were all white and I simply painted over them using contrast. I mean, that’s not exactly how they look here either, but it’s a lot closer.

That makes sense to me. No reason it has to be accurate, I was thinking you might have used the symbol in Oz without thinking about it. I’d do the reverse (use the American symbol when it should be European or Australian, for example) so that is the only reason I mentioned it!

Yeah, I’ll just have to make sure that many of the battles the superheroes and villains take part in will have to take place outside of the US! 🙂

The symbols are red/green in the UK as well, but the red one shows a standing person and the green one someone walking, which is probably to help colour blind people! Technical stuff aside then, this scenery’s all very nice! 🙂

Yep, that’s the same here but I didn’t want to do the work and so just recoloured the NY white walking person in red and green.
Ours also say ” walk” and “don’t walk” in green or red but again, too much work for a bit of scatter! 😄

It really is about time they got changed to “don’t walk, boogie”!
