Marvel Crisis Protocol: Logan, the Wolverine - Rival Panels CPE03 Weapon X Program

Time to get some September models posted up, eh? Today’s post is the version of Wolverine in his civvies, so really in his alter-ego of Logan from the fancy Rival Panels boxed set.

I liked this model. It was a straightforward one to assemble and then also to paint. I based him on one of the generic city bases (after clipping off the curb) rather than the base that’s more specific to the Diorama base from the set, since I’m not really interested in displaying the models in that manner. I did leave the small tactical rock next to his heel, since I often add a little bit of grit and/or debris to my MCP bases.

The model also came with two head options – one with the cowboy hat and another bare-headed version. I felt if we’re doing Logan in his civvies I may as well go all the way. It also leaves me with a spare head to perhaps swap into a future Wolverine model as well for that cowl-off look that’s not uncommon to the comics.

I don’t think we have any painting challenges going for September, so I’ll just keep kicking along and painting my stuff until next month.

I know October usually gets loaded up with Orktober being at the very least an “unofficial” challenge between a few of us (I plan to be in on that one this year if others are doing it – IRO? Wudu?), Dreadtober usually running (and me failing to finish anything for the last few years!) and sometimes Zom’tober (Apocalypse Me?) because, I guess, Halloween being a thing. Anyone running that one this year? Dave?

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Daily Bugle Newsstand, Spider-Man

Today we have the final model from my Marvel Crisis Protocol Core set – the final piece of the puzzle. The Daily Bugle newsstand.

I always knew roughly what I wanted to do with it – I wanted to plaster the windows with headlines and/or advertising – much like a real newsstand or newsagents’ window.

As mentioned with the Taxis, it wasn’t until a a bit over a week ago that I finally got the decal sheet printed. Not only did it have the decals for the other models, but also the selection of Daily Bugle newspaper’s large “front page” sheets. The sheet also has decals for another building that I hope to finish very soon, but that’s another post to come…

Paint was pretty straightforward once I finally got going properly. The sign was done by dipping in and out over a couple of days along with the base colours on the doors, windowframes, roof and such. I then spray varnished it before coming back to add the decals and the first bit of shading and such before spraying again to seal all of that and coming in with the grime and streaking and weathering.

As with the Kazumi Ruins, this thing technically narrowly missed the end date of Dave Stone’s of Season of Scenery Challenge as I completed it last weekend. I’m still happy if Dave wishes to include it, but no stress if not!

The roof was weathered by wet-brushing in some shadows along the edges of the lip, then some stippling before adding a wash/glaze over the top of it all to represent accumulated grime.

Extra points if you can figure out what the magazines on the newsstand are!

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Daily Bugle Newsstand, Cosmic Terrain Pack Boxes

As a little bonus, here are the “boxes” from the Marvel Crisis Protocol Cosmic Terrain Pack – a set that I started, then restarted, and now have three-started again as I wasn’t happy with the previous versions. These desert-y-themed boxes come from the middle set, but they work well enough like this. And they’re small boxes, so the hell with repainting them! These were done during the SoS!

And here’s the boxes on and around the completed Daly Bugle Newsstand, along with Spidey there for scale and laughing at JJJ’s attempts to discredit him!
