Things are getting back to normal here after 'Winter Storm Juno'. Tues eve game night was definitely cancelled, but I managed to get a little painting in between shoveling shifts.
Still don't think I do justice to Infinity figs, but I'm improving. I suspect I can only go so far with my usual techniques tho.

There's another storm due Mon, so I might have more figs soon.

nice, really like the eyes

Very nice work.

Good stuff man, lovely paintjobs and great photo backgrounds.
I also bought that second sculpt for my Cyberpunk games. It's such an awesome sculpt!
-
Thanks. Glad you like 'em. Gotta get them on the table soon. Gaming sessions have been rare lately.
Mal - Yes, that is an excellent fig with all kinds of gaming potential. His flowing locks crack me up tho. I imagine him checking his hair in the middle of a firefight.

I think they look great, much better than I could manage and they do the figures proud.
I think a big problem of people looking to paint these is the amazing paintjobs used by the company, and by other talented buggers out there - it makes them seem so daunting, yet you've done a sterling job on them. :D
-
Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words.
I've always put my brushwork in the 'tabletop standard' category. I want them to look good, even on close inspection, but I'm nowhere near the professional/competitive level. Which is OK actually, 'cause I want them to be gamed with, not sit in a display case.
Off to chisel ice from the minivan now...

Well damn. Sealed Cyberpunk Fabio and it clouded >:(
So he gets a do-over in the next painting session.

haven't had the displeasure of fogging, but some threads claim that rinsing with olive oil might solve the problem...

My take on fogging, if you're using Testors Dullcote (don't have experience with other matt cans fogging):
1. Apply a second coat of spray varnish
2. Place the model under a HOT lamp (but take care with plastic, so don't overdo the heat!)
3. Wait half an hour
4. Done
The fogging usually is moisture trapped in the varnish. With Dullcote a second layer of it will slightly melt the first layer. This releases the moisture, so it can evaporate under the hot lamp.
This method saved several paintjobs of mine!

Thanks but too late. Threw him straightaway in the fiery lake of Strip-Ez for his transgressions.
Just won an Icestorm PanO set on eBay for short $, so I'll prime and paint them all together as a single crew.
