I too think Chris Evens makes a better Capt America the J' Storm, in fact apart from Mister Fantastic, I didn't really like any of the casting choices in the FF movies. <br /><br />Lovely painting though, though SS is a little dark I would happily see her on my table top.<br /><br />Cheers RogerDick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-46931988392669352282018-02-16T01:43:17.278-08:002018-02-16T01:43:17.278-08:00I might go back and re-paint her uniform at some p...I might go back and re-paint her uniform at some point, Bryan, as its too dark for me too; albeit the "Heroclix" scheme actually has her with black gloves and boots...<br /><br />I have several Hulks in the painting queue currently, as I'm planning on doing a mini-Hulk project at some point due to owning many of his opponents.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-2651664957794374352018-02-16T01:38:44.759-08:002018-02-16T01:38:44.759-08:00Cheers Hugh.

I like The Thing (is it?) too, but not struck on the models for the other two of the four - great paint jobs, but I don't rate the sculpts of the models. Hey ho.
