Sweet Christmas!
Time for something a bit more down to earth, it’s the Hero for Hire, Powerman Luke Cage!
I forgot take the drybrush shot but panic not, I did do a brainmatter beige drybrush!
Hero for hire at the ready!
“I live to destroy the Weapon X!”
Time for another absolute favourite of mine, the mighty Omega Red!
Beige me Comrade, but just on my metals and hair!
With the main model done I added the coils (silver with dark done wash) and tidied up the base. Now off to go and mess up Wolverine!
“Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep”
Picked this monster up at Salute last year, finally drunk enough to tackle it!
“I see a suit of beige armour around the world’
Going back a few steps it’s time to work on the base. First I cling filmed the model and primed it grey with a dusting of white then drybrushed some blue around the jets and then white all over
After tidying up the base I painted the small escape suit that comes with Hulkbuster. Exactly the same but smaller!
And on my left it’s little Tony Stark!
"Do you know what happens to a toad when its struck by lightening?...'
Nest up for the X-Men its the mighty weather witch, StormFirst thing to notice about this model is once assembled she is only attached to the lightening by 2 contact points making her extremely difficult to paint, seriously its like a bobblehead!
Rather than go trhought the Dr Strange split assembly nightmare ive decided to glue her together then add a piece of plastic rod to give the model some stability whilst painting and then remove at the end.
After removing the plastic rod and repairing the paintwork shes ready to fry all the amphibians she wants!
“Yer about to become all flowin’ entrails and exposed intestines !”
Now Logan’s out the way we need someone for him to fight, Enter the mighty Sabretooth!
Drybrush magic
“I’m comin for ya Logan!”
“I’m the best at what I do”
It’s time, a model I’ve wanted to paint a for ages put have been to put off by the colour scheme! I have some yellow, a paint brush and a tiny angry man! It’s time for the Wolverine!
“Hello old friend...”
For the shading first it was a 50/50 medium / Flesh tone applied very thinly with a wet brush on the yellow, skin and black. The the same with blue tone on the blue and dark tone on the rest. Finished with a quick tidy up on the base, a Matt coat and glossed the bottles. Happy enough with how he turned out. Black and yellow though, still hateful!!
“BERSERKER BARRAGE!” 
"Hey, Logan, that healing power is about to come in really handy“
Now that I have found an answer for yellow it’s time to dig out the X Men! First up it’s a favourite of mine, despite how the movies ruined him he’s still a badass. It’s Cyclops!
Realising that precise painting isn’t for me I went for my old friend, Brainmatter Beige to even it out.
Forgot to take a pic for the washes but all very simple. 50/50 mix with medium for each. Blue on the blue, flesh on face and yellow and dark on the base.
Ands he’s done and ready to go in full yellow and blue glory!
“We’re in the endgame now”
Once again I’m going to try to do another model without my trusted beige drybrush. Also as the good Doctor looks quite tricky to paint once assembled I’m going to paint him in parts and assemble later. Not usually a fan of this approach but think it makes sense here.
Next up came assembly and things started to go awry.
Firstly with the paint applied the joins were tough to get into place.
Getting the cape to line up in the ring was especially painful. I had thought I’d cleaned off enough superglue to use a kicker spray but once I took a proper look I realised the joins were very messy. Also I managed to break one of his fingers off which with such a tiny piece was a nightmare to reattach. It was at this point I had to put him down and leave for a few days as I was starting to get really annoyed with the model.
Without my usual drybrush and washes to cover up any small issues I found having to be precise and patient was really winding me up!
Have to say I’m glad to see the back of this one! Tricky one to paint which wasn’t helped by my own planning! Also decided to paint in the runes at the last minute as it needed something to give it some more life. Not overly pleased with the job on the magic ring, definitely think an airbrush would be the way to go here.
