Captain America, old school style

If you haven't yet watched the latest Marvel movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, do yourself a favour and go see it. It's a real action packed extravaganza that would be a visual feast not just for Marvel fans but for all comic book fans in general.

But don't just stop there. Once you have seen the movie, then try your hand at painting the Marvel superhero himself. More specifically, check out this awesome old school version of Captain America by Knight Models (see below). Retro is definitely cool in this case.

Nocturna Models Facebook Page highlights Ser Gergor Clegane (Game of Thrones)

Many thanks to Nocturna Models for highlighting a miniature paint job conversion of their Crusader XIII C. miniature as completed by Shire Works' resident painter. In this project, the Nocturna Models resin scale model was painted as Ser Gregor Clegane, a character in the Game of Thrones books which is also a HBO TV series currently in its fourth season.

Knight Models Logan assembled minus paint

Here is a quick look at the Knight Models Logan from the Marvel Universe range as it stands after assembly prior to getting a paint job. It is a fairly easy model to assemble with some extra patience (and with help from a super glue-sodium bicarbonate combo) needed for the claws. Depending on personal preference, some green stuff can be used to smooth out the flesh on the metal miniature.

Logan is available to purchase from the Shire Works blog shop as are many other characters from the Marvel Universe.
