Primer John Paints

A journal of miniature painting from a man who's not afraid to get a little dirty.

The Prowler, aka Aaron Davis, was a pretty simple and enjoyable model to paint. Still, threw some challenges at myself with shadows and blending.

Pew pew! Star-Lord aka Peter Quill, the swarmiest Guardian of the Galaxy.

[primerjohn]

Groot!

[primerjohn]

Rocket Racoon…shot for the moon…until he ran out of ammo. (Some variation of this song had been stuck in my head for days).

[primerjohn]

Ultron is the last of the original Core Box to paint. More non-metallic metal work.

[primerjohn]

Red Skull, Master of HYDRA, was a nice challenge with the various non-metallic metals and objects source lighting.

[primerjohn]

“Cut off one head, and two more will take its place.” Hydra troopers are ready to take the field. There were an experience in painting yellows and greens.

[primerjohn]

Archangel soars into battle with neurotoxin-coated fléchettes erupting from his wings. More nonmetallic metals with this model. Calling him done though I cannot say I am happy with him. Might return to him in the future.

Black Widow, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., is ready to bring the sting to HYDRA. A fun dynamic model tp paint.

[primerjohn]

Lady Mastermind, Regan Wyngarde, has the same powers of mental illusion as her father, but a less problematic history as him.

[primerjohn]

Sometimes it’s nice to paint a “palette cleanser.” Something with low expectations that lets you play. Often times, that’s how I approach terrain.

[primerjohn]

A small break from all these villains to paint Hawkeye. Kind of wish AMG had done an alternate head of this model with a mask. This model is a very modern take.

[primerjohn]

Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist. I challenged myself by trying a different variation of the yellow and green outfit. Yeah, the traditional colors are still there, but I hope in a way people are not used to seeing.

[primerjohn]

Electro is another adversary from Spider-man’s. Challenged myself in how to paint different yellows and the effectiveness of dark-lining features.

[primerjohn]

The red leather and the yellow quilted texture was a blast to paint on Shocker.

[primerjohn]

Vulture swooped on and off my table. Lots@of fun both with the green and the brickwork.

[primerjohn]

Sandman is a far reaching foe, and things get carried along for the ride. More fun sand painting.
