opponenttheory's infinity and other scifi miniatures

[Diablo Jon]

Impressive stuff 

I can never figure out if threads like this inspire me to try improve my own painting.....or just burn my brushes and give up. After 30 years of painting my stuff is still barely passable (at 30 metres in the right light)....sigh

I've been painting for 15 years and most of my improvement has come in the past 12 months. Not sure what's made the difference if it can even be narrowed down to one thing.

Your best yet! What about a little camo on them, as opposed to just the green?

I'm not exactly David Woods 

Plus these are a for a commission so I have to be somewhat conservative and make the best use of my skills within the time allocated.


The army grows

AWESOME!!!

This is all I seem to say on your threads......

Stunning!

"I'm not exactly David Woods"  haha
They are superb and every bit as good if not better than mine (with or without camo)! I know how fiddly Infinity are to build and the tidy modelling and consistent quality of painting is both exemplary and inspiring.

Thanks. You have more flair for these things whereas hard scifi is something I used to run a mile away from. Thankfully Senor Giraldez wrote a book on how to paint most of these models.

Here's the finished army.

Wow, beautiful!  Thanks for sharing.  I love the wolves and the guy with the bow.

You stole the word out of my mouth ^__^.

I'm painting my infinity collection to test out ideas for a quick gaming standard style. These are the first two I did this morning.

I suppose it's just an in-built thing; some people have the ability- I know I would never achieve these quality standards.

Must be like when people talk to Messi about playing football and he says 'it's easy just kick the ball like this...'

Steders has it right I think, although I want to get back into Infinity and will have a try again. But no way I'm showing my results on here, I do have some pride left.

Jaw-droppingly good. I love Infinity miniatures, and almost bought some once, but when I saw them in my hand I realized how delicate they are, which makes painting like this all the more amazing, as far as I'm concerned. Beautiful shading, the handling of the blacks is perfect, and the basing is perfectly subdued. Top-notch.

[Andym]

Excellent! 

I know there's probably a lot more work went into the guy in blue armour, but the limited pallet with the spot colour of the red is my favourite of the two!

"...first two...this morning" !!! WTF!!?
