opponenttheory's infinity and other scifi miniatures
« on: May 29, 2016, 09:34:21 PM »
Hello everybody.

I thought I would share some of the infinity models I have painted. I don't paint sci-fi very often but the infinity models are rather nice and I have found that following the guides from Giraldez has helped improve my airbrush and general painting skills.

Blimey. They're a bit good - I don't understand how you super painters do it!

Brilliant brushwork...and for those unaware, these miniatures are slight!  I mean wee-tiny compared to many lines.  I'm with Jag - there is a whole other level I shall never achieve!

A wonderful job, indeed! How much of that work was done with the airbrush? The transitions are so smooth!

Not much is the airbrush as I'm still learning and don't have much accuracy. I'll do the main colour but I still need to use the brush to clean up and add contrast.

Here are some models in different stages of progress.

Bloody marvelous and doesn't help me gather the courage to get started on mine one bit.

Well done.

Wow! Some more great work! :o Between these and your supers, your painting cabinet must be filled with wonderous things!

Where did you get Giraldez tutorials? Are they online somewhere or is there a book I need to buy?

Andy; there's a very nice book available.

I have it too, and found it both beautiful and helpful. The amount of examples is limited, but the step by step painting guide for each mini is exhaustive. It's recommended, but it does come with a bit of a price tag...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Goodness me, those are very sharp!

I have to say that the red and black/purples seem to have sharper highlights and more contrast that the blues - at least it seems that way to me looking at the Fusiliers.

Either way, they are beautifully done, so thank you for sharing! :)

Where did you get Giraldez tutorials? Are they online somewhere or is there a book I need to buy?

If you go to Angel Giraldez's Facebook page, he actually has a huge number of step-by-steps for models of all factions to view and follow for free. Even if you not on FB like me, you can still view them.

These FB step-by-steps are more about the colours and what he used to place them (airbrush or paintbrush) rather than about technique, but if you are already reasonably experienced and can paint fairly neatly, then you should be able to follow his explanations with no issues. ;)
