Let's see your Infinity Conversions!

[Brutal Cities]

I made a little video and blogpost about my recently converted Blue Wolf Tag from infinity.



It's a kitbash from a bunch of different scales and games, and the paintjob is inspired by my armored core mech.

What do you prefer? original or my version?


If you have any Infinity conversions too, I'd love to see!

I prefer yours to the original, where can I see the rest of your infinity stuff?

[Brutal Cities]

Thanks! Hmm I have some pictures on my instagram, might be some here are there on my website too.

Superb paint jobs on those

Great job on those conversions, I especally like the 112!

Back when AP HMG Minutemen were not available, I used Wargames Atlantic plastic bitz to make one.

I LOVE THIS. Amazing painting too!

Here's something I did during lockdown a few years ago. For this particular conversion, I accidentally ended up with two identical Kriza Boracs powered suits from the Nomads Tunguska Jurisdictional Command box set (the first one I picked up as a loose single on ebay, the second is from a box set). I'm not the type who likes more than one of a particular pose in my squads, so I knew I had to modify one of them.

So after digging through my bits boxes, I found a bunch of Gundam kit weapons in various scales. One of the smaller weapons ended up being a decent sized rocket launcher type weapon for this mini, so that's what I went with.

I wanted to change the basic pose, but I was in no mood to butcher those legs. And one of the other Kriza Boracs powered suits from a different box set is in a running and leaning forward pose, so I didn't want to duplicate that pose either. So I came up with the idea of putting something larger than the ammo crate under its right foot, changing the geometry and perspective of the pose.

Once I removed the crate from the foot (the right leg with crate is a single piece), I had to come up with something to replace it. Another crate? Boring. A rock? Nah. Oh, what's this?... A 1/144 scale Victory Gundam head leftover from a weapons set box? Sure!

So I got all the parts cleaned and assembled, and I did a bunch of tweaking to the arms and their sockets with some dremel work (using 0.093" diamater tip bits). Then I built a custom weapon from some other bits, and... well, here...

(I built both minis at the same time; the one on the left is stock standard, and the one on the right is the conversion).

Once I determined the optimal position of the Gundam head to allow the powersuit's right foot to have the most contact area, I went about making a divot in the head in the shape of the footprint. This allowed for a solid glue bond, and also makes it look like he's crushing into the head. I then added a bunch of battle damage to the head.

I made a slight miscalculation, and the left foot ended up with a 0.050" gap between it and the surface of the base. But I didn't want to remove any more of the Gundam head for fear of losing some of the detail and the overall impact of it being the head of a substantially larger mech. So I found another panel piece (part of a foot plate) and sanded it down until I could fill the gap.

And in keeping with the rocket launcher theme, I added some ammo rounds the hip area of the powersuit.

I think if I'm ever in a game where we're playing anime-style mecha, I might just use this guy as my mech.

 That's some really fantastic work

[hubbabubba]

That works.

Welcome to LAF

[Pattus Magnus]

I agree, great work! I’ll be very eager to see both versions painted, I expect they’ll look excellent.
