Infinity Yu Jing Hac Tao

Hello.

Well, it's time to post about further adventures in miniature painting and collecting. This will be about one of the recent minis that I've painted. She is the Hac Tao of the Yu Jing faction of Infinity the Game. She is one of my favorite miniatures in the Yu Jing faction and I had a lot of fun painting her.

It look me about 10 hours over 15 days to complete her. I basically started with the Studio color scheme and went from there. You will notice in the WIP photos I change it up a little, like the cable suit under the armor. I think the blue is a better contrast to the orange.

Here are some of the main colors that I used. As always, I paint with Vallejo Model Color.

Black Armor:
Base: Black
Highlight 1: Basalt Grey
Highlight 2: Ivory
Shadow: Black

Green Missile Launcher:
Base: Military Green
Highlight 1: Luffwaffe Camo Green
Highlight 2: Golden Olive
Shadow: German Camo Extra Dark Green

Blue Cable Suit:
Base: Prussian Blue 
Highlight 1: Blue Green 
Highlight 2: White 
Shadow: Dark Prussian Blue 

Orange Details 
Base: Cavalry brown + Orange brown 
Highlight 1: Orange brown
Highlight 2: Sunny skin tone 
Highlight 3: White 
Shadow: Hall Red + Cavalry Brown

As before, I used a Dragon Forge Resin Base, this time from their line of Urban Rubble. I wanted to get the feeling of an urban battle field. I also used Secret Weapon Weathering Pigments to get the dried mud effect.  

So here are some WIP photos and the Finished Mini 

I hope you like.

Infinity Combined Army Rasyat

Hello all,

This post is about the Combined Army Rasyat Figure. This is the first mini that I painted from this particular faction. To be honest I was a little intimidated. It is larger and more complex than the other minis I've previously done from Infinity.

I guess that it took me about 15 hours over a 15 day period to paint it. I did decide to change the paint scheme in the middle so that definitely added a little more time.

I really like the pose of this mini. It is very dynamic and fluid and it gives a good sense of the mini in motion. I also really like the sculpt - it is very well done even though it was made about four years back in the mid-release date of this range. However, I think it stands up to newer sculpts very well.

I have to admit I did have some issues with the color scheme. I was originally going for the studio color scheme and I was almost finished but the colors did not sit with me very well. I decided to change the overall scheme a little. In the studio colors the mini's pants were green and the chest armor was brown. I don't know what it was but I just did not like that color combo. So I changed the chest armor to blue and the pants to brown and I think it works quite well.

Again I used Vallejo Model Colors.

Here are some of the examples of the colors that I used:

Some of the metal armor and knife I used this formula:

Base: Prussian Blue + Field Blue + Hull Red
Highlight 1: Field Blue
Highlight 2: Dark Sand
Highlight 3 White
Shadow: Prussian Blue + Black

For the hair I used:

Base: Prussian Blue + Violet
Highlight 1: Royal Purple
Highlight 2: White
Shadow: Dark Prussian Blue

Again, the biggest issue I had with this mini was the intimidation factor. When looking at the Combined Army as a whole it is very complex, detailed, and very, very different from all the other Infinity factions. So sometimes it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed by it all. I would have to say the same about this mini as well. But by just sticking to it and following through, once finished the results can be pretty fantastic and quite stunning.

So here are some pics of the process and the finished mini. I hope you like:
