hey Dakka...

here is my first Infinity mini...
a quick paintjob for the DakkaDakka painting challenge last June...

i really like Infinity minis, and am happy to finally start painting all the stuff i have bought over the years...








here's the gallery link if you would care to vote:

for this girl i tried a few new things...
red hair was a first, as well as painting eyebrows...
the jungle camo was new for me, having only painted urban and desert camo before...

the theme of the contest was Dangerous Terrain, so i went for a sculpted snake...
i also went for a Delta Force scheme, instead of a more sci-fi look...

the base is one of the Wyrd (Edit: sorry, this is actually a Dark-Age base insert) resin inserts...
the grasses are from the Secret Weapon Winter kit...
i dipped the tall grasses in some thinned out green paint to make it look a little more like jungle grass, and less yellow...

i had a lot of fun on with this girl, and look forward to doing some more Infinity minis...

thanks for looking...

i hope you like her...

cheers

Looks badass, jah. Love it.

cheers, mate...
glad you like her...

i look forward to showing off my second Infinity mini next week...

cheers

Always nice to see more infinity, and your top-notch painting.

I like infinity. Especially the Ariadnas. Awesome stuff. And great painting too. Well done

She looks lovely jah, the combats are amazing I've never tried painting them before, looks like a lot of hard work.

thanks for all the kind words, people...

@GiraffeX: for the most part, camo is dead easy, since you don't have to very precise...
the only trick is finding a pattern, and tone, that reads well on this scale...
Google is your friend for real world examples and inspiration...

my latest guy (the SAS trooper), on the other hand, was a real challenge because i went for digital camo...
painting little squares is much more difficult than some random splotches...
i should have him posted on Wednesday night...

cheers

Josh, you might be able to find some Dragon or Tamiya 1/35 scale modern infantry kits on the cheap side.

I bring this up because Dragon actually has created waterslide transfers for doing digital camouflage on infantry. It's a brilliant way to do it.

Brilliant job on your entry Jah! The judges thought you were heading for first place, just the public vote didn't go in your favour.

thanks, Casey's Law...
live and learn, and all that...
next time i'll take better pics for my entry...

cheers
