INFINITY YU JING INVINCIBLE ARMY: Zuyong Invincibles

Zuyong Invincibles

So these guys are the link team that is the backbone of the Invincible Army.  I wanted them to be yellow like the poster boys on the artworks and boxes. So the question was how could I make them a bit different to the studio collection?  After looking at yellow sci fi armours on the web, in the end I went with the Giraldez yellow palette but limited the other colours to black and glowing blue (There is a bit of white only on their shoulder emblems).  They kinda remind me of Transformer's Bumblebee crossed with Kill Bill's the Bride and I have to say I'm rather fond of this callback, given I'm a bit of a movie and toy buff. Anyway's its cool to have a totally power armored army to work on in Infinity.

This guy was the test model for the whole army, taken from the Red Veil Box.









Boarding Shotgun

This lil' lady was the first I painted in the army set but long after I did the test model, so it took me while to remember what I did the first time. Why the flat nose instead of pointy?









Missile Launcher

This chonky guy was satisfying to do as I felt like I had got my groove on painting the Yu Jing yellow.









Combi Rifle

Last one in the team I did I was able to do by the numbers as I felt like I finally had good command of doing yellow.  It's not as hard as you think.  I still did a black undercoat like I usually do, I just made sure to paint brown as a base colour over the armour panels first before applying the yellow.










One day I'll add the HMG to the team...

    First things first: great minis and great painting as always!

    You could use the helmeted version of Quiang Gao from Defiance as a zuyong with HMG if you aren't a fan of the official HMG zuyong.

      Thanks. Actually I like the hmg, but i just don’t have him yet. Also, I’ve pledged for Defiance so I plan to add Gao to the army. So much to paint this year and not enough time...

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 ...
