Thanks, Dr. For your opinion on the heads as well.
If I would have to choose today, I would quite for sure go with the first (the original) one.

The marines have to wait for a while know.
At present I'm working on my first Freebooter's Fate mini.
Here's a quick WIP.
Hair, metals and a few other things still have to be finished.



And another typical result of my painting sessions.

Nice work. Liking the leather.

*whispers* Thanks once more, Dr H. But please lower your voice a little bit.
I know there are others visiting this thread every now and then but they seem to be very shy and I don't want to frighten them too much.
If we're lucky they might even leave a comment or so. ;P

OK. I think Regicide can be calles "finished" now.
More pictures of her can be found here in my blog (only German so far. Will maybe translate it later): http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/freebooters-fate-piraten-regicide/

I stop by to take a look occasionally, who told you!!!

Some fine thumb painting there

Blending on the NMM looks superb. I'll be sure to check out your site.

She's looking very nice pfibp, must have been hard doing those stripes.

Oh did someone mention leather....

I'LL SHOUT IF I WANT TO!!!
Your work is often worth it.

Comments will come with time. I spent the first 4-5 pages of my blog mostly talking to myself, and it's only accelerated from there.

Good work. Like the stripes and the nmm is done well.

Thanks to all of you.

My main intend was to try to tease some of the silent readers.
I saw the constant rise in the thread counter. They had to be there. Thanks for proving me right. At least in some way.

The stripes are actually not that difficult (OK, maybe it was also a good portion of luck and intuition).
I first painted a rather light blue stripe. Than added a more darker/saturated one in the middle of the first and afterwards added a few highlights with a blue even brighter than the first one.
In the end finished it with a very thin glaze of black. To get some depth into the recesses.

I'm always here stalking you waiting for the next update....

Just depends where I am when I read it if I reply or not.

No need to apologize or explain yourself.
I was just in the mood for a little teasing.
I'm grateful for every click, comment, etc.

And yes, I now that problem.
Stalking a lot in these forums but not always enugh time for a appropriate answer.

Good clean painting on Regicide. I think she would benefit from some lining in select places, like between the shirt and skin or between sword's blade and guard for example.

Colors are well selected and the nmm gold looks good. I'm waiting for next painted fig from you.

Thanks Metsuri. I'm glad you like Regicide and my descision on colors and such.
You're wish on more figures can be fullfilled as well.
OK, it's maybe not my best painting result but still wuite good. Tried a few new things on the blade and the HMG.

Here it is: a new Scotish lady for my Ariadna.
A 3rd Highlanders Greys with AP HMG.
Few more pictures can be found here (text only in German so far): http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/infinity-ariadna-3rd-highlander-greys/



Next up: Dystopian Legions, FSA, Dr. Orlington

That is a nice looking infinity fig. Good and clean painting and the red sash brings some needed contrast to the fig.

Thanks.

Silent reader checking in!

Seriously now, nice, crisp painting, and good palette choices.

Quietly or not, I'll keep following!

Thank you.

As it looks at present I won't be able before tomorrow to pick up my brushes this week.
No progress at all so far. :(

My hands/thumb looks the same when I paint. It's just easier to use my other hand than a palette. Your stuff looks great. Keep it up.

Thanks.
Yes, I like using the thumbtoo because it:s the shortest way to the miniature in my eyes. And I have more controll over the fluid than when using a tissue.

Concerning current activities: I did not manage to paint at all this weekend.
Feels like the Saturday and/or Sunday just disappeared...
So there are still a lot of WIPs on my desk. Like those ones here.



As well I got some new additions to my supply of unpainted stuff. ^^
The new Antipodes for example for which I also just finished an unboxing article: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/unboxing-infinity-ariadna-antipode-assault-pack/



In addition there are two new pirates for my collection.
Left one is "Marlene Dick" from Tales of War and the right one Isabelle Locke from Reaper Minis. Both on decking bases from Freebooter's MIniatures.
Right side in the front there is a FCC Housemaster from MERCS and the lady on the horse ios a Nordgaard Valkyrie for my Godslayer collection.

Besides building minis I as well wrote two tutorials for my blog this week.
For simple printerd base labels: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/tutorial-ausgedruckte-baseschilder-printed-base-labels/
And home mwade washes: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/08/30/tutorial-hausgemachte-washes-home-made-washes/
Last one was inspired by Les Wash Recipe here on Dakka: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/261541.page

Lots of exciting minis on your painting desk pfibp. In the top I see a Wolsung lady and then a nice Aleph lady as well and some more Infinity minis?

The Nordgaard Valkyrie models looks really nice and the Antipodes are a lot bigger than I expected.

Looking forward to seeing all these painted up

I had the same issue this weekend, time just flew past and I didn't even get my paintbrush wet

Even with little progress there's still reason to stop by, an interesting future to look forward to!

(and weekends always seem to have just flown by on Sunday evenings!)

Yeah, the problem with the painting and so... ^^
Might take a while or two.

At least I started basing the Antipodes yesterday.

Concerning the minis in the first picture.
In the back (from left to right):
Wolsung - Alice Tinkerly MK2
Infinity - ALEPH - Asura with combi rifle
Infinity - Ariadna - SpeacOps
Infinity - Ariadna - Uxia Mcneill (the new SAS version)
Infinity - Ariadna - male Dozer Engineer
Infinity - Yu Jing - Oniwaban
Dystopian Legions - FSA - Dr Orlington

In the front:
Infinity - Ariadna - Duroc (empty base. Figure is mounted on a stick for better handling. Otherwise you could not reach his belly well when painting.)
EDEN - Convoy - Otto
EDEN - Convoy - Louie (Minion of Gretchen)

Small news from my desk.

Basing of the new Antipodes Assault Pack is 3/4 done.
Still have to think about the height of the rocky part on the third Antipode's base.



I also worked on one of the MERCS minis I bought some time back mostly out of curiosity.
I'll maybe use it as a proxy for my Ariadnas (or just put it into the vitrine ^^)



As well there are two new pirate ladies for my crew.
Since I don't plan to play Freebooter's Fate I will add models from different manufacturers every now and then.



Last but not least I did the basing for my newest Godslayer minis.

Not many words today. Have to get up earlier than usual tomorrow.
Dr. Orlington of the Federated States army is finally finished.
A few more picture of him can be found here in my blog (at present just in German. Translation will follow): http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/dystopian-legions-fsa-dr-orlington/

Nice work all over. He looks great.

Thanks.

Here's also a quick WIP of my current project.

News from my painting desk: Asura can be called "finished".

A few more pictures and some words on the painting process can (like always) be found in my blog: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/infinity-aleph-asura/

Absolutely beautiful work.

Enjoyed reading your blog as well, think I will be picking up the Vallejo 'Royal Purple' as it's a lovely shade of colour.

She's looking really nice, nice purple you have there.

Thanks to both of you.

Nice work. Also liking the purple, and a nice scheme overall.
