elhonez Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Boom goes the dynamite! 💥 "Company Men" is the code for the wave. So I guess I better get off my ass and take photos tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ASCII-esque aspirations were thwarted by forced line breaks, so I was going to pivot to the following chimeric emoji abomination: 😜 🦾 ⏹️🦾 🦿🦿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhonez Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I was inspired by reading the entire SHIELD omnibus, the old Strange Tales days, pre-jumpsuits and all G-Men looks. (And yes, "Company Men" is a bit sexist given the inclusion of Val). Gabe, Dum Dum, 2 Fury looks (with trench coat alts), Val (suit look), Jimmy Woo, Jasper Sitwell, and Tony Stark as he appeared in the very first ST issue featuring SHIELD.

NerdyTrev Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 You hit the sweet spot for me here, elhonez! I'm a big fan of early SHIELD, so a lot of these characters I'm happy to see. Especially James Woo! He's one of my favorites! Great job, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His nemesis Yellow Claw might land on my list too, if I can I rev up my decal game. But this batch of customs, and the next, are all QC or paint-only.

elhonez Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 I was inspired by the heyday of Marvel MiniMates releases. I miss 8-figure waves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I'm about 20% 35% done with the painting for the next wave. It's almost a paint-only wave: no decals, only some very light x-acto knife cutting. And thanks to the generosity and industry of @cylonchaney, we'll have some proper images for Hangmate. Which you'll definitely see more of, since it may be tough to guess. It has nothing to do with Nick Fury this time.

elhonez Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I hit a milestone with painting, and I'm just over 50% done. So I figure I might as well kick off the next Hangmate, again for guessing the "code name" of this wave. And yes, it's Wave 41, representing even more jumping around my own plans due to equal parts inspiration, obsession and parts availability. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
