Necrothrall does Marvel Crisis Protocol

For his armour I used chainmail from vallejo.  I darkened down the cracks with some nuln oil, making sure to avoid the orange bits.

I toyed with the idea of doing him chrome but deemed it a bit bright when I saw it on my pallet.

So with his armour done I just needed to paint his base.  There were a couple of lights sunken into his base, so I painted those with a fluorescent white.

All in all I think Ultron was the quickest to paint despite being the biggest.

I started Ultron by taking a slightly different approach by starting with the glowy bits. I painted all the bits I wanted to glow with white.

Next I gave all the white bits a couple of coats of fluorescent orange. Then I hit him with a black light to see how he glowed.

So I got the dark reaper back out and used it on all the straps.

I gave all his garments three washes of nuln oil. This really darkened them down. I then tackled the cosmic cube. I gave it a coat of Ulthuan grey, then put a small circle of white in the middle of each face of the cube.

This is the point where I got over enthusiastic and forgot to take any more work in progress shots.

So next I had a play with some fluorescent paints. I thought my blue was a bit dark so I mixed in some fluorescent white to lighten in it. I was a bit worried that either they wouldn’t mix, or wouldn’t fluoress any more, but after checking with a black light I needn’t have worried.  I applied  my new light blue  fluorescent paint over my white circles. Once that had dried I went round the rest of the cube with the fluorescent blue.

I used a brass to pick out his buckles and buttons. I dulled them down with a wee bit of nuln oil.  Then I did his base.

What better way to start Red Skull than his red skull. For this I used Evil Sunz Scarlet,  which was washed with druchii violet. Then I drybrushed the same red in again to bring the colour back up. Then I highlighted the face with a drybrush of orange and then a final very light drybrush of yellow.

Now I started blocking in the shirt, gloves and boots with dark reaper. Next I blocked in the coat with German Grey from Vallejo.  The coat was given a drybrush of stormvermin fur, then a light drybrush of Ulthuan grey to highlight the folds.
