Here we are at the final Challenge run-in. I’ve been abysmal at keeping up to date with everyone’s antics, too much doomscrolling distracting me from my painting desk. Apologies to Tamsin and the Tuesday crew for my absence. But I picked up the brushes again for the last few weeks, so have a few planets to tour to close out my challenge, despite my target being well out of reach.
In the middle of a self-imposed ‘minis drought’ where I intended to be working down lead mountain rather than buying new projects, I got offered a bundle of Marvel Crisis Protocol second hand. I’d had half an eye on the game since release but had resisted, long-time challengers might remember I’ve also a Marvel supers project for a now long-dead game. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse, in the end. After a quick demo and inquiring about the local scene, it turns out the game is super good fun, they’ve really captured the superhero theme, and the minis are excellent quality hard plastics. Which is one of the reasons my challenge plans have got knocked awry: enthusiasm for this unexpected project, and getting games in pretty much every week.
So, the 1750s French still languish unpainted and I join Stephen and Alex painting some fun superhero silliness.
One 40mm mini, plus our Solaris bonus makes 27 for my tally. Next for another new dalliance at Arda…
That's a cool mini, Phil. You've done a fab job on the white armour for this model.

ps - I added the "Sarah's Choice" label that you'd forgotten!
This white black widow is terrific, I really like the transition of the colours on the wrist mounted weapons!
ReplyDeleteLove the white paint job. All in black models do look a bit dull sometimes, so when the Black Widow movie came out I did think of repainting my Natasha similarly. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHer face is superb Phil. You can feel the energy building inside her!
ReplyDeleteLove the white armour!
ReplyDeleteShe is quite outstanding! The detail you’ve obtained with her white outfit is terrific.
ReplyDeleteShe looks pretty good in white. Nice figure and paintjob, Phil.
ReplyDeleteAwesome white painted figure! She looks great!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Great work, love the white
ReplyDeleteI do like the crispness of the white on this excellent figure!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the superhero genre but I'm a huge fan of your brushwork here. The white armour is very effective as others have noted, and that face! Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Lovely work on the white!
