Marvel Crisis Protocol: Luke Cage

What better way to follow up a post about Luke Cage than with… another post about Luke Cage? This model is the Marvel Crisis Protocol version, and is the one that motivated me to do this little batch paint of Luke Cage models. Specifically, after seeing it painted by friend of the Bitz Box, Argentbadger over on his own blog, The Bovine Overlord.

I do like this model. It has a grounded and steadfast look that so many of the Crisis Protocol models mack as they’re seemingly all too busy backflipping over exploding tactical rocks with their heads disappearing up their own backsides while connected to their bases with a 0.5mm twig of plastic

Cage’s model here isn’t even in a “come at me, bro” pose. It’s simply a folded arms stare. Projecting confidence and power. (man!)

He’s probabaly also banned in Russia presently due to his outrageous costume…

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?
