Marvel Crisis Protocol - first look

Howdy all,

Another COVID addition to the painting table, I recently tried my brush at Atomic Mass Games Starlord and the Hulk. I liked the pose for Starlord and enjoyed watching Sorastro’s video...so I thought, hey...I’ll support my new LGS and try out these Marvel figures.

So, I scooped up the figs when I saw them and thought I’d give a try at some new techniques and colour schemes. Gotta say, I’m pretty happy with the figures, they stand at 32mm plus, they have some great details, and I really like that they included extra dynamic bases with Starlord. It’s nice to have options. The only con I can think of is that even though they are larger scaled, the assembly can sure be finicky and frustrating...dry fit as you go, best piece of advice I can offer.

Anyway, if you haven’t looked, google up Sorastro, check out his website, YouTube, and if you are inclined, I would recommend his Patreon. Enjoy the pics, stay safe, and comments and constructive critiques are always welcome.

Starlord was a hoot to paint up...the rocket plume and effect was a great detail and addition to the dynamics of the figure...but by god it took some frustrating quality OCD to get finished. I really like how Sorastro tackled the leather on this figure, it stands as one of my favourite single elements.

The Hulk was a definite exercise in green and how many shades can I create...I think this is the largest model I’ve painted. In the end, he painted up quite nicely.

Looks great!

Agree they have some nice models, only ones I've picked up are the terrain kits, but they are great.

Thanks Mike! I will have to check them out, the starter box has a bunch of terrain as well. I may have to take a shot at that one...
