Thought I'd have a separate thread for work in progress updates of my big Avengers project.

This is the picture;

Woah, that nuts! But if you really actually continue into this one, this is going be one grandly kick butt cross-stitch piece. I don't see myself ever doing anything that extreme, size perhaps, colors no way, heck, anything around a dozen different colors is a lot for me. Can imagine this'll be a piece that could take up much of your time for a good year or so.

Wow, what a project! I'm excited to see more updates

I'll be working on it until I finish, whether or not it'll be done in time for the comic shop's 5th anniversary is another thing I have most of the threads and I'm getting the hang of using a scroll frame too.

Will put another picture update up this weekend. Would've updated sooner but had to unpick a good 50 stitches for being one stitch out.

Found Captain America to be quite dark, however it still works, and having the threads in front of me, I think the others are just fine. I'm not going to change CA for my picture, as I quite like the effect (luckily my comic book guy's favourite is Ironman, and he seems to be perfect) but advise anyone wanting to have a go to try and get brighter colours for CA or at least more blue...

Thats a fast pace! Awesomeee! ^^
