Interesting and nicely executed colour scheme. A chance to see one of Infinity's "spider tank" anytime soon? I've yet not seen many of them painted up on the internet.

Skin tones are fantastic!

Sorry, no plans for the HaqIslam T.A.G. as yet.
Thanks for the comments

Excellent work indeed!  :o I've always found the Infinity stuff intimidating painting-wise after seeing all the elaborate color schemes over at the Infinity forums. Your stuff however, is similar to how I paint sci-fi and it looks GREAT on the Infinity stuff. I may have to drag some of my stuff out of storage and give it a whirl. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sorry, if it has been asked before, but do you make use of an airbrush? You've handled these clean designs and smooth surfaces with great perfection, so I have to ask in order to know, if it's possible for low-tech painters like me, too.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback
I do use an airbrush, but mainly for base coats on larger minis, however, I didn't use it on any of these minis,
They were primed grey, given a black wash, then dry brushed grey. After that the colours and tones are just built up gradually with really diluted paints. Don't expect to get decent coverage on the first coat, you at least two or three depending on the colour, but it's from using the thin coats that the end result appears smoother. be carful to keep the dry brusk ight, or else you'll build up texture that will later show through the coats.
I first gave all this a try after some chap called Dave wrote about in on frothers.
I'm still in two minds as to whether or not it speeds the process up, but as the infinity minis have a lot of detail on them, it's a good method for picking it out.

Bloody hell you just keep churning these out! Wow, really great work and I might have to give that technique a shot too - do you have a link to the original?

I'm not a fan of this style of uber-slender cartoony figures in dancing poses - not even for sci-fi; although those latest assault commandos are very cool.
But your paintwork on all of them is absolutely lovely  :)
