I have a smattering of "in progress blogs" I've been working on but to be honest, it's a figure here, a building there and no real completed anything. Lately I've been smitten with MCP. Just before I really dove into wargames, hobby stuff and painting, I was big into comics. I had discovered them in earnest pretty late in the game, being drawn in from video games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Batman Arkham Asylum. I dove in head first and started with the Civil War Marvel stuff and began reading whatever I could. When I got into hobbies, something had to give and I haven't really read any comics since. When Crisis Protocol was announced I put in a preorder as soon as possible, played a couple demo games and thought "Ok, this is pretty neat"
Like all projects, I threw the game back into the pile of shame, breaking it out once every few months to demo it to someone new, and moved on to other projects. Recently, I had a friend visit from out of town who wanted to try it and his enthusiasm encouraged me to break everything out again, and finally play with all the bells and whistles. This encouraged me to teach Erin how to play more seriously (we had done a small "lite" version of the game months earlier) and both of us were surprised at just how much we both liked it. Ever since then, the game has occupied most of my painting time and all of my hobby time with a bunch of side projects as well as getting me back into comics and buying a subscription to Marvel Unlimited (as a brief aside, I just read the 12 issue run of Inhumans from the Marvel Knights era and was super surprised at just how much I liked it.)
I had painted a few figures when I first got the game, mostly just the ones I wasnt as interested in (Black Widow, Red Skull, Ultron) and have been finishing stuff up left and right. To that end, heres some of the figures I've finished lately.
