INFINITY NOMADS CORREGIDOR: Sombras (MULTI Rifle, Light Shotgun)

Image
  Sombras (MULTI Rifle, Light Shotgun) I enjoyed painting this mini.  Nice to work on a new design.  I like the tanks on her back.  I wish the tactical rock wasn't a rock though as it doesn't really gel with deck plates however. 

INFINITY NOMADS: Gator Squadron Conversion

Image
  Gator Squadron Conversion For some reason CB does really cool TAG designs and then occasionally executes the models in less than stellar poses.  Pano suffers the most from this with the derperly posed Seraphs, Jotum and Squalos lessening such iconic and cool robot designs.  Sadly, the Gator falls into this category also in my humble opinion.  So, in an effort to make it less derpy and elevate the model into the realm of rule of cool which it so rightly deserves, I did some minor conversion work.  This mostly involved repositioning the gun arm.  It was quite an interesting process since I had never converted a siocast model and have not seen any out there as yet.  The process was enlightening and results speak for itself with my now non derpy Gator ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum. Test Pose I  did a test pose first which just required gluing the gun arm in a less derpy waving the arm up in the air pose. To be honest this simple r...

INFINITY NOMADS CORREGIDOR: Hellcat (Boarding Shotgun)

Image
  Hellcat (Boarding Shotgun) Nice update of an older model.  I'm painting fairly closely within the lines of convention with my Nomads. But what the heck, I want bold primary colours to differentiate my armies and the studio schemes of blue, yellow red and geen on the main factions is hard to beat. If it ant broke, don't fix it may be true mostly, but I think I want to break the mold a bit with the next army I do.

INFINITY NOMADS CORREGIDOR: Intruder (HMG)

Image
  Intruder (HMG) My last project in 2022 was the Nomads from Crimson Stone.  Got very excited about these updated sculpts and just had to get some on top of my Tunguska.  This Intruder was the first I did in the set.just classic Nomad red.  Looking at this guy, I believe I now have a good simple formula to highlight shiny black objects like guns compared to say black cloth.  Don't need to think about it anymore.

INFINITY IKARI COMPANY: Yuan Yuan (DA CCW)

Image
  Yuan Yuan (DA CCW) Been ages since I posted a pic.  Life got by me.  Did this little lady last year but forgot to take any pics.  She's such a nice update of a classic model.  Colours didn't deviate much from the studio since they are on par with my Ikari theme anyway :-)

INFINITY NOMADS CORREGIDOR: Gecko Squadron

Image
  Gecko Squadron I'm a huge fan of these mini-TAGs.  They were time consuming to finish and took about a week each to paint.  But it was worth it.  Very satisfying to step up the detail on them.  I took inspiration from Gundam's Char's mobile suits for the colour scheme, plus the studio version of course.  Gecko (Mk 12) Gecko (Multi Marksman Rifle) Gecko Squadron
