About the Project

I too have jumped on the Crisis Protocol bandwagon. It started small and has rapidly metastasized into many models and much terrain. Now to get them painted…and maybe, maybe, even played.

I don’t know why but I’m inordinately pleased with her. Perhaps it’s that I thought she would be the least interesting to paint (black is almost as tough and dull as white) or the little flash of red on her belt and zipper pull. Whatever the reason, I really like her. I don’t know why but I’m inordinately pleased with her.

after highlighting and shading his skin I was a bit nervous about it but I put a wash of thinned out yellow ink over his whole body. I’m glad I did because it really makes the green pop and almost glow.
if anyone wants the green recipe let me know.

I wanted the colors to really pop. I wasn’t disappointed. I wanted the colors to really pop. I wasn’t disappointed.
Side note: it finally clicked that grates and manhole covers are usually more brown than silver: so gunmetal, then nuln oil (missing here), then a final wash of Vallejo wood grain and I’m a happy man.

Also, for anyone frustrated by yellow: start with an orange-brown and then highlight with orange before a final highlight or two with yellow. It goes so much quicker and is actually a lot more satisfying. I’m surprised how much less yellow I use when painting yellow than when I started and also surprised how much less painful it is.
ive had something similar happen with white—I now start with a medium gray and highlight that up and only use white as a final highlight.

His red was a hassle to highlight, what with the web pattern and all. Probably should have just done the red and then gone in to darken down the web pattern. Of course, had I done that I’d probably now be saying how I should have done it the other way. His red was a hassle to highlight, what with the web pattern and all.

I just did inks over bright silver on the shield. More a movie than a comic thing but I really like the result. I just did inks over bright silver on the shield. More a movie than a comic thing but I really like the result.

Turns out it's a pain to highlight Spidey's red bits up what with all that webbing pattern. Still a ways to go to make hime pop. Turns out it's a pain to highlight Spidey's red bits up what with all that webbing pattern. Still a ways to go to make hime pop.

Still some work to do but I'm really happy at how he's coming along. Just threw inks over bright silver for the shield and did a silver star on his chest. More movie Cap than comic.Still some work to do but I'm really happy at how he's coming along. Just threw inks over bright silver for the shield and did a silver star on his chest.

I'm not completely over the moon with my job on Ironman. I initially tried inks over bright silver for a metallic sheen and I wasn't pleased with that. Then I went through and edge highlighted and that felt too extreme. So I put a wash over that to tamp it down. I suspect this will end up, eventually, pushing me towards some NMM. The saving grace here is his glowing parts. It turns out that the eyes really sell him (although his left eye doesn't show up well in the photo).
