Hobby

Fury’s Finest had another painting competition. This time the theme was “Heavy Hitters”. And I enjoyed the last two competitions (Honey Badger & Crimson Dynamo) so much that I figured it’s time to try again.

I had originally planned to paint Hawkeye for this movie. Unfortunately with the release schedule it was just a few weeks

Captain America is the 5th movie in the MCU series and the final movie before Avengers. They finally completed the final introduction before The Avengers.

Thor is the fourth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and we get introduced to the character teased at the end of Iron Man 2. Thor is one of the most recognizable founding members of the Avengers and in this movie he takes center stage. We also get an introduction to Hawk Eye although

We’re only three movies into the marvel cinematic universe (MCU) and we hit our first sequel. Iron Man 2 (2010). We’ve already painted Iron Man so we can’t repaint him. It would be an excellent opportunity to paint Warmachine if he had a miniature. Lucky for us there’s another new character in this movie, Black
