Marvel Crisis Protocol: Cosmic Terrain Pack (Part Three) – Kiosk

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Cosmic Terrain Pack Kiosk

It was over a year ago now that I completed the first parts of this terrain pack from Atomic Mass Games for Marvel Crisis Protocol. I’d be understating things if I said that it turned out I was not particularly fond of the models in this kit, so it’s taken until now for me to get enough motivation to force myself to finish this piece.

I painted the kiosk in the same overall manner as the previous pieces, so that they at least look vaguely like they belong together on whatever board they end up on. The painting technique is well-described in those previous posts as all I needed to do to this one (for almost a year) was simply the “finishing off” elements.

L0oking at this image, I’ve just realised that I forgot to paint in those cable going from the antennae to the fuel boxes. Well, just pretend that those are painted. I’ll bring it back inside and hit them with a contrast or speed paint. proably in a deep dull red or something like that.

I think I may also need to hit those weird circles with a gloss varnish as well. Pretend that they’re a little more shiny as well then.

I’d hoped to get this thing finished for Dave Stone’s most recent Season of Scenery, but it was not to be, due to one particular other kit putting me off working on models for a time and other things being more interesting and more pressing. Still, it’s done now, and so all that’s left for this set is to paint those two billboard sign things that you can see on the bottom right of the above image. They also already have all the scratchy worn green done on them if I recall correctly. I should really get them done so the whole kit can be ticked off. I’ll have to find them first, though…

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Black Panther

Another addition to my Marvel Crisis Protocol collection today – King T’Challa himself, Black Panther. This Black Panther figure is actually in one of my favourite poses from the Crisis Protocol figures I’ve painted so far – not perched atop a huge tactical rock/explosion/girder/magic effects, but crouched down low and ready to go. I’m much more a fan of grounded poses for miniatures in general, let alone for transport and storage!

The sculpt has some veeery fine, shallow lines on it – the kind a comic artist would draw in and then a 3D modeller who doesn’t know much about painting minis would then add in when working from their reference pics – so not the best for actually painting in details, but then weird little flaws like this are par for the course with MCP models. You can juuuust see them if you look really closely. So don’t look closely and they shouldn’t be so bothersome. I guess.

His base has him standing on some shattered ground, so I integrated the rest of the base in with some state and then placed him on the edge of some dirt with a little grass – still something quite urban but a change from the typical concrete streets the MCP models are standing on.
