INFINITY JSA: Saito Togan

Image
Saito Togan I did a bit of arm swapping with the limited edition mini and the official release mini and now I finally have a ninja with a big gun (they all have em just don't show em lol!).  This is my JSA version of Saito. I picture him here in his Oniwaban uniform before he went rogue...  Maybe he dresses properly when he works for his old mates, who knows?   Two Saitos for the price of two Ninjafest take two I repainted my converted Saito a little so he could go into regular Ninja/Oniwaban duties.  Maybe he's just Nakadai before he took a bullet to the head lol...

INFINITY MERCS: Saito Togan

Saito Togan So long maligned but now a nice version to paint. I did a bit of arm swapping with the limited edition mini and the official release mini for something different.  I think he looks pretty cool now in his Merc colours (not Ikari sadly as they can't take him, which is strange since he would fit right in with those dirty dogs). Will the real Saito please stand up?

INFINITY IKARI COMPANY: Authorized Bounty Hunter (Boarding Shotgun and Bike)

Authorized bounty Hunter (Boarding Shotgun and Booty L2: Bike) Stunning model, with that signature stylish and sexy Infinity style.  I converted this little lady so that she'd resemble the CB pinup artwork more closely and not obscure her tactical assets with a big gun. I wanted to paint the bike with bright colours so went with a warm orange. It took me ages to think of a way to add racing stripes or some type of freehand to the bike's body as the way the bike panels curve is not easy to add stripes to and maintain the coherence of the miniatures shapes.  In the end I did a stylized version of the ABH symbol on the fuel tank. I countered the bright bike colours by painting the AHB in dark blue and black.  I drew inspiration for her uniform from a pic I found of Mass Effect's Miranda Lawson.  Couldn't resist the wild pink hair of the studio model (plus I got wife's approval on this colour, which is a rare thing as she shows virtually no interest in my minia...

INFINITY JSA: Asuka Kisaragi

Asuka Kisaragi It's just not JSA without Asuaka.  This conversion required a "tactical" footpath so that she would fit nicely on the new Araogoto bike model.  Such an iconic sexy Infinity model still deserves the limelight.  Who knows maybe one day CB will do an alternate sculpt for the Koroshi rider that will reinstate her "tactical assets" that are so sadly missing from the new model. Asuka likes her new ride!

INFINITY IKARI COMPANY: Scarface & Cordelia

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...
