@ EDC: thanks man....she got there lol!

@ Heretic: Thanks dude, yea I tend to worry for naught quite often lol....but yeah even though things went pear shaped I'm ok with this out come

@Elmz: Hey bro welcome to my messy work space! Thanks for the kind compliments and wow you read the whole thing,....probably lots of junk lurking in the corners LOL!! But seriously, thanks for compliments

ANDNNDDNDN GOD THANK YOU ASHE IS DONE> .... There's a point when a miniature just needs to end, and this lady has come to that point. This BY FAR has been the most painstaking model I've ever painted. The fact that I've finished it is really the true achievement here. It's tiny size, it's insane details. However because it May actually be my favorite mini in the entire Nomads line, I HAD to finish her. I think the next one I do will go a lot faster. Not my best work, but no matter, all in the sake of learning my friends.....here she is the baddest B*&CH around.....

CLICK THE EMBED ITS A HUGE PIC SO LOOKS BLURRY ON THE POST


Cheers all !
BB

She looks great!

Thanks Shas!!!!! Stoked!! more than anything that I only have to paint ONE more of that specific model and you can bet it's not gonna be pink lol...

Here's a little super quick group shot of all the Nomads I have painted so far I think they'll look good one all those squads fill out... So far 2 Aguacill of 3, 2 Mobile Brigada of 5, and 1 Morlock of 4.... so much to paint....



CHeers all!!

Awesome work! That group shot could be an ad for infinity.

She looks lovely, BB. Good job.

Thanks Dr H

Hi all. BB back at it again. This MB is moving along at a faster clip. The fact that it is not insanely small is really pleasant I must say...;lol....also Purple is an easier color, but more over, a solid prime is the difference between the struggle of the last miniature, and the ease of this one. Going for a super high gloss rich purple almost plastic look, I'm pleased so far with what's closest to being done... Let's hope I continue on the right path...Pics below, wip all over, a lot to do before moving on to the lower half...





Cheers
BB

lovely work - your colours are always so beautifully applied and these infinity models really do demand top skills (which is why I still haven't touched my Icestorm figs !)

Wonderful shade of purple you have going on there.

Thanks Ruglud: Break out those models! These guys are small but really fun to paint. And a real departure from GW designs!

Gits: Thanks man, its looking nice. Though really its only one color purple plus black and white so i guess i have to give the credit to GW

Made more progress today Liking the direction its headed, its clean and im almost done with the top half. As usual some sections are a little further behind....







really love these guys im excited to see the whole unit finished!
Cheers everyone
BB

Looking nice.

So nice, I have no further comments to make.

Thanks Dr H lol, if you've got very little to say, it must be on the right track!

Ive dialed in the primary angle so im gonna show some WIP of that angle only. The front is definitely coming along but some key things need to be filled in before i show it. So far, i like it, there are a couple little tiny niggles as usual but im ok as i like the overall look of the mini Here's some pics. Really trying to dial in the reflective color...nmm i guess....





Hope you like! Any critiques or suggestions, leave em here cheers everyone and happy TG if you celebrate <3

BB

Certainly looking brilliant. Definitely see the shiny coming through now.

Cam Thanks bud. I definitely feel better about the Shiney effect on this model than on the last, but i attribute it alot to the fact that i think its easier to do on a darker color! I dunno, might have to revisit a pink one again for the true test to see how my practicing has come along

Definitely moving towards the finish line here, with one solid quadrant of model left to paint. Today's work saw pushing contrast to shadow darker and bringing forth some mid tone purple. Its warmed the mini up some I believe. Also gone in a put more white spotting in certain highlights. All thats left is little details and fixes as i move around the model...Im experimenting with camera range so ive included some very very close up shots so dont ve harsh on the details, its crazy tiny....>_<I hope you guys like, you lurkers are silent if so, or maybe i need to get busy with some 40k models to give this blog some life :(! Anyways, cheers you guys pics below!

Liking how well the Infinity minis are coming along! I noted the different power suits each have their own color, makes e think you are making a team like many animes' have inspired.

Thanks Shas! That is indeed exactly what I'm doing!! I'll keep some uniformity with the red on some of the other squads but this mb unit was begging to be landmated

OK bebop, YOU tell me when I can wax effusively on the quality of your paint job and I will!

Lol Gits! If you are referring to my sad face re: lack of interest, its simply my remembering of the times of the beginning of this blog, when i was painting catachan and it seemed much more interesting to the fellow dakka community. Alot of my fellow painters from when i first joined have seemed to dissapear, for whatever reason. Im not pandering for compliments if thats what it seems like, sorry if it came across like that.

No, I was referring to your earlier reply to MY comment complimenting you on your painting & you said it was just purple and white, so I should compliment the figure designer!

hahaha, oh dang. :: i forgot about that ... LOL....(NYC turned me into a major complainer so im trying to be more at peace these days, as its been pointed out ive been whiny at time, by my dearest friends LOL). In truth though ive only used one color on the whole dang thing, but i do prefer the OLD warlock purple to whatever this is one is called now. The older colors seemed more vibrant to me than the new counterparts. I am in the process of moving away from all GW paints though, as im finding the other brands to be superior in different ways. That lime green i used it a vallejo paint and its insane** how much bright it is. Like i could water it down and itd go right over black no problem...anyways....No more complaining i promise ... unless its about traffic....

I'm having the same problem. The new "scorpion green" is really dull. Just bought a new bottle of the Vallejo which looks like it'll fit the bill nicely.

Hey Bebop,

Those Brigada are looking really great.

I'm also moving away from gw paints. Vallejo game and model colour are great paints. I also like the reaper paints.

Keep up the great work.

@ Gits: Yeah, i actually used that exact Vallejo color, their scorpion green, and its almost fluorescent. Vallejo seems to be thinner, but of higher pigment so im gonna try and switch as much to them as possible. They are a bit hard to find here though, online orders it looks like.

@Davetron: Thanks much man. Great to see another infinity player on dakka! And dude, i love all those terrain peices on your blog! I might have to do some street sign stuff coming up

Heya all. I finished the 3rd MB. Im happy with the final out come, although the lights on the legs bug me, i coulda done a better job on that but i was too excited to try the aforementioned scorpion green that i started too bright for the osl to be anything but barely believeable. As usual patience is the primary enemy. So im posting some pre final pics, hes basically done, there's a few details i noticed in the pics i wanna fix, and i need to do a light drybrush on the past to catch it up to the other 2, but with out further ado,...3/5 MB









I'll post another official pic in a bit, like tomorrow. I'm super beat tonight so I hope you enjoy the pics, comment if you have anything to add see y'all soon with an official showcase photo.

CHeers!
BB

Very nice BB, you're much too hard on yourself.

Thanks Gits! Yea that may be true, but i am happy with the final result, i think they look great together if i may say so myself. But, as a professional musician, my life is built around the concept of practice, so im very upfront with myself about critically analyzing what i need to focus on for the next model. Big gains are made with Tiny victories!

Thanks for the kind words nevertheless.

Also it bears mentioning, i realized how to put the full size photos up, on the last post, when sharing, i changed the resolution, now i see here on this post, that those pics are giant and ridiculously super up close, so now i can actually take more normal photos at a better distance, because they wont appear tiny in the embed!! YAY!!!

Yes... this way we can see every... little.... tiny.... inconsequential... mistake!

THEYARENOTMEANTTOBEVIEWEDTHISUPCLOSE!!!! >_<

I'm still lurking, BB!

They look amazing together!

I agree that interest is low in non-40k things. I've moved away from playing 40k myself (so not much 40k going on in my blog). It doesn't feel that people are interested in my updates for Fantasy, WHQuest, MEdge, and assorted other painting (outside of those long time followers). Although I'm a couple of weeks overdue an update, though...

Purple guy looks great. Even in gigant-o-vision.

@zambro: yo man thank you very much! I think they look neat all lined up and i cant wait till the unit is done!! But yeah, serious, no interest here for anything but spacemarines.... >_<

@Dr H: im still figuring it out. Thing is, if you view it from your iphone, or apple device, since i uploaded it that way, the pics are the size they are supposed to be if you just viewed it in photo gallery. But in the embed its too big.....and too up close....

so here's another shot at the finished collage and i hope this works out



Hope you like! Im stoked for this one and im really trying to figure out more consistent ways to photo because i end up spending too much time trying to take photos at the proper scale!

Cheers
BB

Excuses, excuses. I like it, personally. And I'm hoping the next one is Cyan. Or Lime Green. Keep them brightly colored.

And I like extreme close ups. The viewer learns far more about the painting process that way.

Hmm, about the interest... If all you did was Space Marines, I wouldn't bother checking in. And really, you need to check the page views, not just the comments folks leave. I am quite the lazy one for making comments. I wish there were some way to see the number of subscribers a thread had....
