Marvel Crisis Protocol: Spider-Man

I’ve somehow, finally completed the last of the figures from my Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set with perhaps the most important hero – Spidery-Man! One of the reasons I took so long to get Spidey painted is because I wanted to do right by my old friend Peter. With all of the insane BS he’s had to deal with in the comics after I stopped reading, it’s a wonder that Peter hasn’t also quit on Spider-Man comics long ago.

Then there’s also the suit. I mean there’s the perfectly valid use of contrast red, contrast blue – done! Which I used on the recent Marvel Zombies set that I painted. But for my Crisis Protocol model, I wanted to pick them out as well as do a slight highlight on the …panels in between each web –  which just ended up being a little pinky – but then the highlight really almost disappeared when I hit that part of the suit with a red glaze to bring back the red over the pink.

When I was getting to the end of the figure, I noticed that the white (usually black) lines on the suit looked …kinda good. I considered, but then given current year argument means that Spidey no longer just has the one Red & Blue – or even two (Black & White) constumes, but instead has a multitude of them across the comics and MCU, I just repainted all of those lines in off-white, as well as the chest-spider.

I reckon it looks pretty good, and it’s not like there’s any shortage of unique Spider-Man figures in the MCP line (we’re up to three just for Peter, now – with a fourth one imminent!) so yhere’s going to be plenty of scope for a fully-traditional Red & Blue suit – as well as even more variation!

Now I just need to get 3 pieces of terrain complete and the entire Core Set box will be done – How many days are left of Dave’s Season of Scenery again…?

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters, Street Lights & Traffic Lights PLUS Mantic Terrain Crate Bins

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.

Marvel Crisis Protocol Terrain: Dumpsters

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.
