Very nice job! Bill’s probably my favorite Marvel character. Have this model myself and am really looking forward to painting it. Couldn’t help noticing in your assembly the hammer isn’t touching the ground. I found that tricky myself but got there in the end. Can see that was a deliberate choice because you’ve put his right foot up on the step. Nice variation. Really like your paintwork though I’m not sure about the glowing eyes. Why do superheroes all need glowing eyes nowadays? What colour did you use for the skin? And how do you make your trash?

Thanks for the comments:


The positioning was deliberately done to bring the model more 'up' so that his face and body details are better seen. I'm sick of AMG and tactical rocks so used the curb. The hammer being raised is purely due to the foot reposition. Should have done the same with original Hulk as he is crouching over.

Eyes were done to draw attention to the face and show the electricity in him.

Skin:
White undercoat
Tau sept ochre (TSO) base - 2 layers for good coverage
Reikland flesh shade a little thinned as wash
TSO to neaten
TSO and Pallid wyche flesh (PWF) 50:50
TSO and PWF 25: 75
Pure PWF on absolute extremes.

I very much use shadows to help skin so the undersides of his arms will go no further than the reapplication of TSO after the wask.
Makes the highlights pop so much more on top.

The junk is attached to the MCP bases sprues.
The papers are printed from a file on the MCP facebook group.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Especially the tip about the skin colour. It is spot on so I will use the same for my mini.

But the litter - that’s strange I haven’t had any on any of the spruces of my minis and I’ve got quite a lot of CP now. Why is that I wonder….

Found an old sprue that I hadn’t thrown away and the litter was there! It’s so tiny I just missed it before. How odd. All mine’s gone in the bin - which is ironic, I suppose since that’s where trash belongs!

Random assortment of crushed cans, bottles and cups. So many people have missed the scatter trash on the sprues
