Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist

I have taken some pictures of my third completed apartment building.  Going to look good next to the other two and the Sanctum Santorum.  I have heard that one doesn’t want many huge terrain pieces on the board during a game but I just think it would look so cool to have an entire street scene to play through.  Like the other two apartments, I didn’t glue the roof on in order to store smaller terrain inside.

I finished my third NYC Apartment building. My relentless scouring online for deals and collections meant I had enough pieces for a fourth floor.The last bit I needed to paint being the neon sign announcing it as Josie’s Bar.  That was a new skill set for me and it came out fairly well for my first time.  I got the fire escapes glued on as well.  More pictures to come once I have my table cleared to take them on.  It is currently covered with the parts of my Terrainfest project.

I’ve finished and sealed the 1st edition Iron Man miniature, also known simply as Iron Man.  It is not the best mini AMG has produced and like some other early sculpts, it lacks sharp detail.  Not a bad sculpt but not a great tone either.  I got sort of uninspired part way through and just wanted him done.  Looking at the photos, it is clear I need to add more of the bright highlights.  I’ve got a few minis now I want to go back and work on their  details some more but that will be for a future post.

Well, maybe not actual occupation as it is just an empty box with no bottom but it does look like Doctor Strange lives there.  It was really easy to assemble though I wish I had painted it in sub-assemblies.  Despite the night scene in the sky light I painted the rest of the building in daylight.  I just had a few details to touch up last night before spray sealing it.  I might give it one more coat tonight for extra protection and to cut the shine a little.

I worked on a number of things over my three day weekend.  I have just about finished the Sanctum Santorum though I want to look at it in daylight when I get home.  If I still like it I will seal it and photograph it.  Right now my focus has been on the signature skylight.  Looking at the work Sorastro did in his tutorial, I wanted to really work on the Non-Metalic Metal look as well as the reflections of the night sky.

I haven’t read contemporary comics for a while now but I am aware of Ms Marvel and the show is on my “list of must watch soon”.  I will confess to having the problem of not being able to give my full attention to a movie or show because I am painting or building.  I will get to it because I do find the character interesting.  In game she is even more so with this sort of reverse Wasp thing going on.  She doesn’t grow big and stay big but rather bounces back and forth between sizes.

I finished all the window frames and cleaned up a number of the details last night.  Again, roughly following Sorastro’s technique for Non-Metalic Metal on the roof railing I got that done as well.  Again, wish I had left the building partially assembled like he does for ease of painting.  Maybe if I ever get an X-Mansion I will do that.

I’ve been spending what little hobby time I have lately on the Sanctum Santorum.  It is such a nice piece it deserves a little extra attention.  Of course this means I am not working on the apartment building I primed but it isn’t going anywhere.  I love Sorastro’s painting videos and just wish I had watched this one before I assembled and primed my building.  He works on his by floor and glues the fine details on after, like I do with windows in the apartment buildings.  I really like the technique he employs on the roof so I did a version of that on mine.  So far I have to say it is looking pretty good. I will have to focus on all the windows next.

If you haven’t discovered Sorastro’s tutorials yet I can’t recommend his work enough.
