The washes and bright colors give it a good cartoon look - perfectly marvel and good on the table top

Keep it up

It can make painting a lot easier. I really like sloshing it on and then putting a layer paint on top. Works well very often.

Looking good! Love that green on Viper.

They got the swords to do it

Keep it up

Thanks Steve!

Seeing how I'm on sick leave this week (second bout of Corona, but this time fully vaccinated and boostered, so a lot more common cold than the first time ) I start every morning with a little painting session.

Finished Sabretooth and Viper (not happy about her eyes, she looks more Picasso than human. Although I realize they aren't visible on the pic ).




Hope that the blue on the wings will hold, forgot to put some varnish on first May tackle her today or tomorrow, need to paint all the black bits. Should be strong enough to go over the yellow.



And he is the best at what he does... Tried to paint the X-Force color scheme. Eyes are to dark, put bright red paint over them after the pic, but because of no small brush available I now need to redo the black a bit And tried something new with Taskmaster's cape, put Quickshade over the Grey Seer and than painted over with Grey Seer again to give it a smudgy look.

Cool costume choice for Wolverine. Taskie's cape has turned out well. Hope you get well soon!

Very exciting, and you're definitely keeping me on my toes with your output!

All coming along well. I have switched to cheap brushes from Walmart. They are 12 for half the cost of a GW brush , and I get a variety of sizes.

I have managed to keep clear of the Rona, I’m fully Vaxed and boostered as well, but others are not as lucky. One of the Doctors in my office who is also fully boostered and Vaxed is sick with it a second time, lots of coughing and weakness. My wife’s grandmother is fully up to date and also has had it twice. No rhyme or reason.

Get better buddy.

All looking good, and the cloak worked great.

Hopefully you'll recover quickly.

The colors you are using are perfect for all these superhero figures. I only see Citadel, et al, in the background of the photos but it is as if you bought a palette of colors specifically for Marvel. Excellent effect!

Thanks youwashock! Already feeling better and if it stays that way I can leave the house on Monday.

Thanks Graven! Once this week is done, I won't be able to keep this up, so no worries

Thanks Theo! Virus be crazy, my grandma also didn't catch it while a lot of my family already had it. Luckily without complications.

Thanks Meer_Cat! Contrast Talassar Blue is my absolute hero of the bunch. It's such a perfect bright comic blue, it's amazing.

And because the motivation still hasn't waned, I finished Logan and Tony Masters this morning. Not so happy with the inside of Taskmaster's cape as with the outside, but it's at least the same style Quite happy with the shield and the general rough and dirty look on him.




Really happy with him, exactly how I had planned. Can't wait to paint up Domino and Cable and have a X-Force team ready to go.




These two are on my list for tomorrow, Beast is nearly done, waiting for the dark blue contrast paint that should arrive tomorrow. Wasp "just" needs a lot of black overpainting, hope I don't mess up the yellow.



And everything Marvel primed and yet to paint (and Shuri/Okoye NiB lying around). Want to try and tackle Bullseye, Sin and Mystique on the weekend, they should paint up pretty fast. After that there will be some Hobbits on the menu for the painting comp.

You're a speed demon. Good luck building Shuri, she's an absolute bugger.

Wolverine looks the business. The blood is very fitting from what I remember of that run. Much love for the choice of cover on his base. Taskmaster also looks good. Yellow's a little patchy, as you said, but the shield turned out great. Plenty of super-heroism to come, too!

Looking good, and have to join youwashock in loving the issue cover for Logan's base, absolute classic.

Only for this week, once work commences next week, it'll all be over and I'm back to slow(er) painting I will steel myself when I assemble her. And such a shame, the pose looks so great.

Thanks youwashock! I've read some X-Force (had an omnibus), but it got weird very fast with time travel to kill Apocalypse and all team members having PASTS with one another. So I dropped it But the costume is just great and it was clear pretty quickly I would try to emulate it.
I'm torn on further painting Taskmasters inner cape, but it was bugger enough to get everything under there and I fear I will splotch everything with yellow... eh, he's a gaming piece anyway

monkeytroll wrote:Looking good, and have to join youwashock in loving the issue cover for Logan's base, absolute classic.

Thanks monkeytroll! It's had not to know that cover, even if one has never read a single issue of Wolverine. And fits perfect with his "coma at me" pose.

And the next batch is done. Finally my Leviadon Blue Contrast arrived so could finish Beast. Blue is perfect for the shorts and more importantly: That is exactly the blue I need for Bullseye. He will practically paint himself
It's not good to see, but Beast is reading "Cult of the Emperor". Couldn't resist a little crossover, now that Marvel produces 40k comics.





Wasp. The tiny version was easier done though as I thought and for the first time used one of the cans for the base. Tried some color splotches to create a can of my favorite softdrink. It's highly addictive Little sad I didn't realize the wings weren't filed done properly on the big version.

Wasp looks great! At both sizes! Beast catching up on his 40K is priceless.

Looks great, love the slurm beast is top notch too.

Missed the opportunity for him to be reading the Codex Ultramarines as he sure is a Boy in Blue

Wasp(s) look great, I know you were fretting using the black over that yellow, but all looks like it turned out well.

Love the little comic books everywhere!

Wish I could use Contrast paints, they're really helping you blast through these Marvel minis in record time.

Loving all of the comics on the MCP stuff… helps me figure out some of the less popular ones . Genius touch to have a easy reading a 40k book too

Thanks youwashock! You never know, when you will fall through a dimension/time portal, gotta know where- and whenever you land, what the customs are

Thanks Graven! Was quite fun searching the right colors and doing only some splashes and trying to capture the essence of the can.

Thanks Theo! Needed two coats, but in the end black prevailed over yellow... that sounds weird

Thanks aku-chan! Was the easiest way to get something interesting on the bases without much effort Without Contrast I would've gone mad painting those minis.

gobert wrote:Loving all of the comics on the MCP stuff… helps me figure out some of the less popular ones . Genius touch to have a easy reading a 40k book too

Thanks gobert! I know most of them, but have only read some of the characters, mostly Deadpool.

And with me being 99% healthy again and work resuming tomorrow, I end my Marvel Mayhem. Managed to get the last three planned minis done and made a huge dent into my Marvel pile. Very simple paintjobs (and not the best with Sin and Bullseye), but they're done.

Sin: The scar over the eye was not planned. Put some more color on the face before the dot from the marker in her eye had dried. Instead of repainting it, a scar was easier And her spaghetti top is not perfectly separated from her skin




Bullseye: Easy to paint, although I should have gone for Basilicanum Grey on the white stuff to get more definition on the inner rings. Ah well, the Contrast White was out because of Mystique, so I got lazy. And realized while painting that I did not remove all the mold lines But hey, at least he got eyes.




Mystique: Really happy with her (although blown up pics show small stuff that irks me now). Great classic 60's spy pose, love the surpressor on the gun. And also two eyes, looking in the same direction

I really like bullseye, so comic-faithful.

Marvel-ous!

Mystique really turned out well and the blue/black on Bullseye works great.

Glad you are feeling better.

More nice work Viterbi.

Cheers,

CB

I'm really enjoying your Marvel stuff. From this latest batch, Bullseye is my favorite. He's got crazy-eyes (appropriate for the character), and you nailed the smirking smile.

Nice work, I always love a bit of Mystique. I think you’ve done a great job on them all, and kudos for getting their eyes pointing in the right direction

Good lord, has it really been over a month I was mostly online in the painting comp thread and have somewhat neglected the plogs. Need to remedy this and see what marvelous stuff everyone has been doing these last weeks. But first things first:

So, did I paint nothing that "missing" month? Of course not Did I paint very little... Yes

I only painted one more mini, Gollum eating his supper:







I'm really happy with him, especially being able to do his eyes, because is that one small model.

The rest of the month I'm trying to do some more models for my 40k armies. These terminators are for the painting comp:



And it is embarrassing, how long these sisters are standing around after I painted the test mini. Need to get the squad done.

i said it before and i am going to say it again, i love that little Gollum (and the cage he is in).

He's a creepy little one. We loves it!

Great job on Gollum, extra points for getting his eyes painted so well

Are some of those Terminators from the Space Marine Heroes set? They should be a cool addition to your Legion (surely it’s too big an army now to call it a Chapter?)

Nice work on Gollum. LotR minis are small, but lovely. Looking forward to the Terminator squad.

We only wish... to catch a fish... so juicy sweeeet!

Late to the party but nice work. Bullseye is awesome. I love how he's just shooting his finger gun. And nice detail putting the comics on each of their bases. MCP stuff might have to get added to my pile of shame.
