MCP – Iron Fist & Luke Cage Painting Guide

/ Deathwatch Studios / 2 Comments

Welcome to my latest painting guide! This time covering the Heroes for Hire. Whilst Luke Cage might be an intimidating if a little boring sculpt, Iron Fist punches it out the park!

I need your support. Because my guides takes time and supplies to do, any support you can offer would mean the world to me. A supportive message in the comments is enough, but if you have the means why not send me a gift on Ko-Fi or PayPal. Thank you!
