Review: Monster Fight Club Cargo Containers

Monster Fight Club has long been my go-to for wargaming trees and bushes, they fit in so well with Marvel: Crisis Protocol and the comic book aesthetic. Near the end of 2023, MFC put together a Kickstarter campaign for a container ship and cargo containers. I was very tempted, but I had just finished scratch building my own container stacks out of foam board and printed off scans of some 3D printed cargo containers I had painted. Over the last couple years, those stacks have seen a lot of play and they were starting to show some wear and tear, with the paper starting to peel away and getting fragile. So this year at Adepticon I decided to bite the bullet and picked up a couple packs of their 20' Cargo Containers and one pack of 10' Cargo Containers to replace my original ones. 

So for my first post back to paying attention to my ol' blog, I figured it would be a good idea to talk about them and give a bit of a review on what I think of them now that we've had the chance to use them in multiple games of Marvel: Crisis Protocol.

The Brushwizard Year in Review 2024

Hey everybody, its been a long time. Life has been wild and I once again neglected my little corner of the internet here. But things have been interesting and productive! This year the ol' Marvel: Crisis Protocol addiction has once again fully overtaken my hobby time. I've done a bunch of terrain work, and a massive amount of character painting. But the biggest news, and the thing that got me writing again, I joined up with Goonhammer as a Marvel: Crisis Protocol contributor! I've mainly been focusing on painting tutorials, but I've also started dipping my toes into write ups of the MCP Ultimate Encounter scenarios.

I have a boat load of things to talk about and I'm planning to write more in depth articles for some of the terrain projects soon as well. So let's get to it and see what magic I've been up to.

Stay Tuned, True Believers!

Oh boy, it's been well over a year since I last posted anything to the ol' blog. Shame, shame. But while I haven't been posting any new content to this little ol' site, I have been anything but idle. In the year plus since I started playing Marvel Crisis Protocol I've become something of a terrain hoarder. 

Previously, I shared an article explaining my plans to build custom boards that interconnect with each other as well as an industrial board that featured many shipping containers. Well, that whole idea was a bit too large and it wasn't really something I could make a reality (at this time). Instead, I started working on individual terrain sets that I can use with premade gaming mats. 

The goal moving forward is to share indepth looks at each of these terrain sets, posting articles about scratch building some of their components, with instructions and even sharing pictures of the various characters I've finished painting.

I hope to get rolling on this all very soon now that life has settled down a little bit. So stay tuned!

Crisis Protocol - Shipping and Receiving

 I've been playing around with ideas for the city boards project and I've decided that it'll be best if I start with the Industrial sector first. This will allow me to get the hang of techniques and since the elevated train set is supposed to go on this board I feel like there's already progress being made. 

So with that in mind, I started scouting out the industrial areas of Spider-Man Remastered on PS5, looking around the shipping docks and warehouse areas for some inspiration. I think I've decided on a plan of attack now.
