Very awesome scheme, really unique! I say keep the scheme for the Wildcats.

I really like the colour scheme The brown looks good so I say keep it.

Yes, looks like good stuff. I have been using my usual off camo techniques for my own Infinity minis.

Looking good! I would think you could leave the wild cats alone. If you want to mix in darker colors maybe do it for intruders (though didn't you already have one of those painted maybe?) or maybe hellcats or something.

The Alguacile dudes are almost done, so I'll have pics of them tonight. I actually did already do a Hellcat and an Intruder. I'll throw them in with the new Algs so you can see how they match up. Sounds like you all think I should keep the Wildcats matching up with these guys, then. I guess I can do that.

Looking good dude.

So, like I promised, here's the male Alguaciles (with their female counterpart)



And here they are compared to the hacker from the Corregidor box.



This pic doesn't really show it, but the hacker girl is really small. I think the scale creep has a habit of going in both extremes at times in this line. She's not an old figure by any means, but she's really tiny compared to just about every other figure. Compared to the other figures, the hacker winds up looking like she's a kid or something. I suppose Corregidor recruits early.

Speaking of Corregidor, here's how the new recruits match up with some of the figures I've already done.



I think the final touchups on the guys took me maybe 10-20 minutes tops. Most of my evening was actually spent working on my Halqa.



From start to finish, these two took me about 4 hours, I think. Not bad for only 4 hours of work.

Man you are pumping these guys out. They all look great together! And yeah that hacker was tiny. A pain to paint.

Man look at you go! I'm gonna clear out some other projects for awhile and then I'm gonna try to do some focused Infinity painting, you're efforts here are quit inspiring

Besides maybe your hacker is just Armitage short:

Pic's not working.
actually, the Halqa are the ones I finished last night. I was also working on a Bagh Mari, an Urban War Junkers character, a Reaper monster, and a fox rogue. I was fairly busy last night.

Ahh well not a big deal, she's a cop in an anime by the same name and she's maybe 5 feet tall if she's lucky. Also an android. I think. Been awhile. Some people are smaller than others, probably just the case with hacker Aug.


Holy progress Batman! Putting me to shame over here. Also kind of selling me on Corregidor. Well you and ckig, and casey's law, and theophany. Stupid auglaciles in the stupid icestorm box. Also stupid cororegidor starter, and stupid awesome TAGs like iguana and gekkos.

Wish I could paint that and that much at one time

Haha do it grimdork! do it! One of us! One of us!

Ckig, I may be able to work on a bunch at once, but they don't look anywhere near as nice as your TAGs are looking. I think if anyone here should be jealous, it should be me. I wish mine looked that nice.

Grimdork, you'll join us someday. Believe it or not though, I've been eyeing a few Bakunin units. The Custodiers and Prowlers are very appealing to me.

Oh, got all of those figures above dipped today along with a few others that have been waiting in the queue. Up next, I'll be working on a little bit of PanO again. I stripped the Bagh Mari's paint, so I'll be starting again on him, and I got a Fusilier in the mail yesterday. I'm going to try cutting down his humongous old style rifle so it won't look quite so out of place. Hopefully I won't totally ruin him.

Well I've already got 5 corrigedor units as it is... but there are a lot of sexy nomad units like the uberfallkomando box and the riot grrls. Knight sabers theme needs to happen. Needs to.

Im jealous of both of you guys, speed and proficiency both.

A Couple more WIPs for tonight. Received the running Fusilier in the mail and on a whim, I checked to see if his arm is compatible with the Bagh Mari I was working on. As it turns out, it is indeed compatible! There's a little trimming necessary on the Combi Rifle to get it to fit on the Bagh Mari, but it does indeed fit. So, what were going to be a pair of straight PanO figures are now a pair of converted PanO figures!



I also cut down the barrel on the Combi Rifle a bit so it wouldn't look quite so humongous. I think that actually helped it a bit. well, I now have an old style HMG Fusilier and a spare Combi Bagh Mari. That's cool. Not sure I'm going to stick with the green scheme on the Bagh Mari if/when I get more of them, though. I'd originally wanted to do him up in a tiger stripe camo, but it turned out absolutely terrible. I think part of the problem as well is that I've been doing a lot of painting in a short amount of time and it's about time I took a bit of a break from it. So, Not sure how much more I'll be doing this week. Next week I'm going to Japan for vacation, so there won't be any work done. So, aside from finishing up the dipped figures, don't expect to see a whole lot of new stuff for a little while.

Coming along nicely! Enjoy Japan!

Yep models look good. Enjoy the trip! Make sure to stop by at least one of those grill-in-the-table places, and a conveyer belt sushi place (if you like sushi).

I assume you will return burdened with mecha?

Oh yeah, I'll be bringing back a lot of junk. I've done the rotating sushi and the Korean barbecue before. I want some of the winter foods, like roasted yams and oden.

I'm hoping that I can score some more Infinity stuff on Black Friday. There's more PanO I'd like to get, like more Bolts, Fusiliers, and some Regulars.

Where do you tend to have the most success when you do that? MM, warstore, eBay? I don't think I'm going to spend any money I absolutely don't have to (especially on myself) but there are a few kits I'd pick up if anyone was selling them for laying-down-on-the-train-tracks-crazy prices.

If I ever go back I'm just going to camp out at a good ramen place and go all Naruto on it's ass. I got one medium-big bowl when the wife and I went there and I really wish a.) I'd gotten a bigger one and b.) we'd gone to more than one place (or that place twice!). Also, 2 hours was not long enough at Akihabara (or however you spell it) although I feel we did get to see more of the smaller towns/country than some tourists might.

So far, I haven't had much success with Black Friday stuff. i'm hoping to grab at least one starter off of Miniature Market.

I've found a few good ramen places. There's a really good one in Harajuku near a toy store called Kiddy Land. The place was cool because part of the inside of the restaurant was designed like an old timey ramen stall. There's also a really good eel shop in Nakano near the Mandarake.

I finished up my Halqa, even painted eyes on them.





I actually really like the Halqa design. They look like nice, ordinary soldiers. Plus, they're one of the few line infantry to actually have helmets. The match up nicely with my Hasslefree figures, too.



And let's not forget the obligatory action shot.

Actually, I got lucky and managed to score myself a Military Orders starter set off of Miniature Market for a grand total of $30. So, not too bad.

Nice on the MO starter. Considered getting a neoterra starter but ehh.

New recruits are looking great. I'm getting a really strong sailor moon vibe from the first woman. Bonus points if you name her Serena lol.

I don't like eel but ramen is delicious.

Action shot is fantastic as usual.

Well, Tamburlaine was hunting for gifts on there all morning as well. With luck, I'll have a Neoterran box coming my way next month as well. I'll have to get the Bolt specialist box so I can do some arm swaps and conversions.

I thought the Halqa girl looked more like Asuka from Evangelion, myself. Maybe I should've made her a redhead.

Red wash might give an interesting effect on her hair Barzam

Yeah maybe that would have been the case, but you went with yellow!

Ahh sweet, maybe if I watch you eventually paint through the neoterra box I won't feel as much need to.

Well, if I do get the Neoterra box, I've got some mods in mind for the Bolts.

Finally finished up my rifle Janissary. I really wish they'd stuck with this design for them. It fits their fluff so much better than the new ones do.

I may do his eyes at some point, but for now, he's done.

Solid work! Pretty Srs bidness which is just right for a fanatic fight-till-he-dies kind of soldier.

Looking great! Janissaries seem very well equipped and bad news for opponents

Okay folks, this is going to be the last figure I'll be showing prior to my trip. This is the Aquila Decianus figure from the Junkers faction in Urban War.



I can't say that I'm a fan of the Junkers designs from the Void era, but I love the Urban War versions. They're full on space Romans and it's awesome! I suppose if there was a line that Alpharius could use his "Barzam's Gonna Barzam" thing, it'd be this one. This particular figure is apparently supposed to be a standard bearer for the Junkers. Only, their standard is actually a huge axe. For some reason, this guy also gets an absolutely fabulous jacket and a unique helmet that makes him stand out a bit more than the others in the line. He looks pretty awesome with my other Romans though.



In other news, I already received the Military Orders box that I'd ordered in Miniature Market's Black Friday sale. That was damn fast. I also finally received my police figures from FRP. Only thing is, they're not the ones I originally ordered. I'd ordered the Tactical Miniatures/Armorcast police figures from them months ago, like back in September or something. FRP tried and tried to get in a restock of them, putting in several orders, but Armorcast never sent anything. So, they gave me the option of either taking a refund, store credit, or swapping for something else. They still had some police from West Wind's roadkill line in stock and they were the same price, so I swapped for them. I'd heard the figures were on the larger scale, but just from holding them up to my Ice Storm Alguaciles, it looked like they're about the same size, so they should fit in with my other true scale stuff fairly well. The only downside to them is that the Tactical Miniatures guys were in short sleeved uniforms, had male and female officers, weren't wearing hats, and had a variety of weapons. The West Wind guys are all armed with pistols (one has a flashlight), have long sleeved uniforms, are all male, and they're all wearing caps. I'd wanted cops with short sleeved uniforms, but oh well. I'm just pleased to have some police now. I think they're going to be one of the first things I work on when I get back from my trip.

Crazy space romans are crazy, but pretty cool overall.

Sucks you didn't get the right police, at least you got some.

Have a good trip

Well, I've made my real hobby purchases of the trip. Picked up the HGAW Gundam Airmaster, and the Montero from the newest show. Also got the Lightning Gundam's support fighter. Last night I'd come across some of the small scale Yamato 2199 models and picked up the EDF ships Kirishima and Yukikaze. Those are really nice kits considering their small size. I still need to pick up the G Arcane from he newest Gundam series, the Lightning Gundam, and I'd like to grab the 1/48 live action styled Patlabor kit.
