This 43mm tall pre-painted plastic model of Emil Blonsky's alter-ego, the Abomination, is produced by “Wizkids” and is miniature number 049 from their Marvel “Heroclix” Xplosion range. "Introduced as a KGB agent and spy" who would go on to deliberately expose "himself to a greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner" into the Hulk, this human mutate first appeared in the April 1967 issue of "Tales To Astonish" and was created by Stan Lee and Gil Kane.
Having previously completed Chinese scientist Chang Lam's incarnation of the Abomination from “The Ultimates” comic book series by "Marvel Worldwide", I thought I'd initially undercoat the original Ravager of Worlds with two layers of "Vallejo" Heavy Green and doused him with plenty of "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green. I then gave the "large scaly humanoid" a dry-brush of (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Green" so as to help bring out all his sculpt's marvellous details.
With the bulk of former Agent R-7 completed, I set about pigmenting his trunks with a combination of "Vallejo" Heavy Blue and "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade, as well his irregularly-shaped teeth with "Vallejo" White and "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade. Lastly I dotted the Abomination's eyes with a couple of spots of "Vallejo" Heavy Ochre, tidies them up with a line or two of "Citadel" Abaddon Black, and finally shaded them with a little Agrax Earthshade.

Nicely done Simon! Always nice to see another "Abomination" moving forward in the The Painting Challenge :)

Great figure Simon. He appears to buy his clothing at the same store as Ray!

DeleteMy thoughts exactly Peter. It don't know what is more terrifying - the green monster with great gnashing teeth or the fact he goes around wearing a speedo. Either way, he's still a very cool mini. Well done Simon!
DeleteAaaaargh! The Mind Bleach! Quickly!
DeleteThanks Peter. The Abomination usually wears torn blue shorts, so not sure why he was sculpted with speedos...!?!
DeleteCheers Curt. It was a really nice and straightforward monster to paint :-)
