Here's absolutely everything I've got painted so far:

Hard to follow that magnificent collection, but here's my Joan. Stunning mini to paint, a great sculpt even by CB standards.

I'll say it again, nice work Para.

Awesome collection Andrew, I hope to mirror it with Nomads eventually.

I approve of the clear acrylic bases

That is indeed very impressive !

Like the military-look to the Yu Jing, works surprisingly well.

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my stuff.

PanO:


Nomads:


Ariadna:

You stacked the power hubs... brilliant! I need at least one more Mototronica set then...

Your models are also excellent Ariadna looks like it should, good stuff there. Black Nomads are hella cool. And you've got a boatload of nicely painted panO, nice work

Those look very nice, you should start a blog/post some close-ups!

Close ups as requested (they show off all my mistakes at this size!). I'm not the world's best photographer but I am getting better.

Fusiliers:


Bolts & Akali Commandos:


Power armoured troops & my pilot (HVT):


Jotum & Remotes:


Nomads:


Ariadna:


They're not quite so shiny in real life.

Again, nice stuff

I really like the white portion of your PanO, and the black scheme for the Nomads.

Spetsnaz...can you feel the hate!?

So yesterday I painted my first Infinity model. It's nothing special, especially compared to some here, but it's probably the 5th or so model I've ever painted and my first attempt at 2 brush blending so I'm fairly happy. I don't like painting guns so it's just grey, I might detail it later. And looking at it more it might need a further highlight on the red... But it took me about 7 hours to get it to that stage. But anyway, here goes...:

Spoiler:

Looks good! Some red ink on the armor and some light black (grey) ink on the metallics might help to bring out some more detail and give it more sense of depth.

Would I just do that like a wash?

Pretty much. I'd go for a darker red ink, maybe even a brown for the red. Red ink on red just blends into itself.

Infinity models love inks and washes. So much detail to seep into.

That's purdy, Imageek!

Love the reds, and the metallics are well done on the scaled areas.

Nugz, those are awesome!

Okay cheers, I'll pick some up next time I'm out or make an order.

Thank you! The metallics were easy mode; base, wash and drybrush haha.

I've been painting something guys. Kum girl conversion (well, rider swap).





Here she is with her biker bros.



Only 4 more bikers to go! I think I'll have a break and finish up my Sekban and HMG Jannisary.

Pretty sweet model, though... it kind of looks like she has butt-less pants on

Makes the boys extremely impetuous!

It's how the suit is designed - the inside of the legs are a different part of the suit. So I naturally followed angels scheme and coloured it in a skin-like tan because dat ass.

Haha Loki.. I like that you are continuing the fine Kum rider tradition That's a great conversion though, not sure if I would have been brave enough to try that!

ImAGeek - Nice job mate, that's a great first miniature. Looks like you are neat with a steady hand, that and patience I think are something every miniature painter needs.

There is absolutely nothing to hate about those, I assure you!

Cracking job.

It's not a hard conversion at all - it barely qualifies as one. She's in that exact position as standard, so positioned right she looks like she's getting on or off a bike.

The miniature though... beautiful sculpt, but I won't paint another one. The ribbing on the inside layers of the suit is ridiculously small and very hard to highlight.

Ah OK, fair enough! It does look good though.

Out of interest what happened to your previous classic 'jean-stealer' profile pic? This new one gives the feeling that all of your comments are being made with a kind of dis-interested sneer.

(of course, mine probably seem like they are being made by a fearful idiot!!)

That's okay, keyboard teeth.

Mines from one of my favorite Penny Arcade strips.

Had a go at using the Giraldez book for something other than procrastination today and tried following some of the techniques. Pretty happy, only ever really used the airbrush for primer and base coating up to now.

Long way to go with these guys obviously (not least a shade and some hard edge highlighting) but a decent looking start, I think.

Sekban Spitfire done.





As motivation, I got my painted stuff out for a look. That's 23 Infantry and 3 bikes done.



My backlog is scary, however. About another 35 models including 2 TAGs, 4 more bikers, remotes and some rather bulky new heavy infantry.

That airbrush work looks nice, I can't wait to see what you come up with in the end, alanmckenzie.

Sekban looks good Loki!

Kickass amount of finished products

Here's my own humble offering, got a few reinforcements for my Nomads finished.


Hex, Spooky, and Envy.

They are looking really nice Grimdork, really like the Hex model I need to pick one of those up before I forget about it again.

Loki you really have been busy thats an impressive amount of Haqq painted upto a really nice standard. Looking forward to the next batch.
