INFINITY IKARI COMPANY: Scarface & Cordelia & TAG - front

Scarface and Cordelia, Mercenary Armoured Team

These guys are a great team. So much character and coolness, they are the quintessential Infinity sculpts that set this range of miniatures so far above most other miniatures out there.  Mostly people seem to paint these guys green like the box art, so I was happy to have a go using Ikari Co colours.  Too bad Joe hasn't taken long to smash up his shiny new paint job, despite Cordelia painstakingly sprucing up his customised Ramhorn in these shiny new colours.  She may threaten to kill him everytime he does something stupidly reckless, but she can't help but forgive him when he spectacularly pulls of another feat heroic destruction.  Truth be told she gets a kick out of her brother's antics and enjoys fixing his famous TAG almost as much as she loves him.


"Scarface" Joe Turner

Really enjoyed working on Joe in Ikari Colours.  I think they suit him well.  I'm happy with how the skin turned out and was surprised that it took about 4 hours working on the face and arms alone.  It was little details like stubble and rawness around input plugs that was fun to do (bit hard to see in photos though), but also very time consuming.

Cordelia Turner

Cordelia is a bit of a funny figure.  The proportions seem to be pre-CAD and so are a little off, particularly around the face.  The TAG on the other hand seems like a CAD sculpt so is very symmetrical and cool (not sure about this fact though). To get around her weird features I gave her an emo/goth look in her makeup to disguise her weirdly proportioned eyes. In any case, this look somehow seems appropriate for a teen who likes fixing big robots and watching her brother blow things up, and, I imagine, listening to punk/emo music whilst thing go boom.  I had to carve off the mini's eyebrows mid paint as they were way off  a natural look and then sand down the forehead and repaint more natural looking eyebrows. It was a tricky and delicate feature to pull off.  

The colours are in the Ikari palette but also with a bit of a nod to Tank Girl.  I very much enjoyed doing the torn up stockings also.  Overall I'm very happy with how this little lady turned out. Imho I think I got a pretty good result with a bit of a mediocre miniature.

"Scarface" Ramhorn 327 Series T.A.G

The TAG was a truly epic effort to get finished and I have to say it was a little daunting to even start.  I didn't give up and chipped away at different sections on it over the past three weeks. I tried to work light over the figure from the top like the sun reflecting off a car. To this end, I have been studying cars each morning on my way to work these last few weeks.  The lighting is as realistic as I could manage but I also took a little artistic license here and there to create depth and foreground. It was likewise fun to do a bit of freehand on the large panels.  Overall I'm happy with how it turned out but exhausted from the effort.

YU JING PAINTING GUIDE: YAN HUO

Yu Jing Painting Guide Thought I'd put together a bit of a step by step guide to painting Yu Jing armour using my Yan Huos. I've included how to do the contrasting black and metal sections because breaking down a miniature into easily paintable sections is crucial to being able to paint neatly and quickly by minimising mistakes and reworking colours. These Yu Jing guys have two main sections to do: Yellow armour panels and black/metal armour cables and weapons. Each section is done in three stages: Base colour, shading and then highlighting. I used Vallejo colours and followed the colour palette used by Angel Giraldez in the Yu Jing painting set . I don't have the set myself but I just guessed how he used them based on the colour selection within the set. I use brushes only because my airbrush is a bit dead and I spend more time cleaning it than painting lol!  But to be honest I'm just more comfortable using a brush and only really find an airbrush useful for pain...

INFINITY DEFIANCE OUTCAST O-12: Gamma Unit

  Gamma Unit The big guy was left till last.  I used all the colours and details from my other O-12 on this guy.  He is a very cool mini.  Reminds me of the exo suits from the game Deus Ex.  Infact the police force from Deus Ex is where I drew the most inspiration for my O-12 colour scheme. O-12 are now all done!

INFINITY JSA: O-Yoroi Pilot Bootleg Conversion Guide

Bootleg O-Yoroi Pilot Conversion Guide It's been a long time since I worked on my favorite army, JSA! The Bootleg O-Yoroi Pilot is one of my all time favourite Infinity models.  It is pure cheesecake mecha, both sexy and deadly.  A lovely model to be sure and one of the reasons I wanted to collect both JSA and Infinity.  However I was too exhausted after modeling and painting my first O-Yoroi to have a go at it in the past, especially trying to convert it like the wonderful Senior Giladez's version that we are all familiar with.  A couple of years later, an additional army or two, plus a global pandemic as well as the model going out of production sending me into a panic buy (again!) meant that it was finally time to give this model conversion a crack. Whilst I did not do anything amazingly different from the masterclass version by Giladez, since the pose of the model does not allow for too much variation, I did want to put together a guide for others on how to ...
