As in I visited in the past. I was there. No worries though. It still stands.

The California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento was more than just model railroads dioramas. They had full scale trains as well. Here’s just a few to feast your eyes upon.

A couple of front loader tractors from Marvel Crisis Protocol. I love to dirty up my terrain a bit so it looks lived with when it’s on the board.

Part of the Weapon X Program, Maverick came onto the scene during a dark time of my comics awareness. Still, the challenge of all the metallics on him was fun.

Corvus Glaive of the Black Order. More NMM gold. I loved working with the colors of the cloak as well.

Ebony Maw is a member of the Black Order, Thanos’s hit squad, and with him, I start my journey to paint the affiliation.

One of the themes for my miniatures so far this year has been wizards, and Clea is a force to be reckoned with, having even held the mantle of Sorceress Supreme. I decided not to take up the challenge of the circles on her outfit, seeking a bit of balance for this gaming piece.

Elsa Bloodstone is ready for the big game - vampires and other monsters that go bump in the night.

Green Goblin rides!

I didn’t follow the assembly instructions as closely as I might have. I like the head to the side. Grasping the fuse of the pumpkin bomb though? Well, safety has never been a character trait of his.

Though I ended up gluing Baron Mordo in a strange pose, it ended up adding some dynamicism to the model.

Painted some shipping containers I picked up some Reaper. Nice to have some terrain to break up the painting queue.

Out from the swamps crawls the Man-Things. Lots of fun with all the textures. A little backlight from the windows in the photo as well.

Dormammu! Since the judging is done for the small contest I entered him in, I figured I could share him to the world. The blue flame and nonmetallic metal black was a huge challenge to myself, but I’m glad I made the journey.

The Ancient One. Sorcerer Supreme for centuries. Mentor to the infamous Dr. Strange.

[primerjohn]

Man-Thing pulls himself from the swamps and from my painting table. Got some backlighting from my window during the photo session as well.

[primerjohn]

Painted up my Dark Dimension terrain late last year, I just was unable to show it until now.

[primerjohn]

Warlock. Techno-organic mutant. Power? Compassion.

I wanted to capture more of the surreal aspects of his comic depiction over making him appear more realistic. Needless to say, black and yellow together like this is a bit of a challenge.

Finished off Sunspot. The sculpt on Roberto is awesome. When taking photos, there wasn’t really a bad angle. I had a blast painting him.
