Nice stuff! She has high heels The painting in general is nicely executed and I like the scheme, but I think your paints could be watered down a bit for a smoother result. I like her gun. I gave her an 8

I love Infinity minis...they are very cool looking.


Some of the white does look a bit thick, but it seems white paint does that alot!

The NMM on the gun (especially the underside) doesn\'t look crisp enough.

The upside is the scheme is wonderful!

Its good to see you back Gerrie...

I agree about the white. May I ask what brand of paint you used? I sugest reaper master series pure white. Its much better than GW or vallejo. On top of that it seems to be a solid paint job. Voted a nine.

yeah I use Vallejo Model Color and that white is indeed quite difficult to keep at a good consistency. I always have to keep adding more water, and a bit slow-dry too keep it thin enough.

But the bottle I used to paint that mini is empty, I\'m using a new white bottle now, and that one looks to be of better quality.

Thanks for the comments so far.

I\'ve found that adding Vallejo Model Colour White Glaze to white give a slightly better ability to smooth the paint.

Hey Gerrie, nice work those Infinity models are great and you definitely did it justice.

I am not the biggest fan of the colorscheme but I must admit it really works :nod:

Maybe you could add some weathering - just a little bit - to make the mini more alive. As it is the armor is almost to white and new looking for the field of battle.

I added some scratches on the orange/brown regions, but not on the rest of the armour :~(

If you have any good tips on how to paint on scratches on white armour I would like to hear them. I suppose with light grey?

I agree with the above. White is hard to do well. You have done a good job of it but it is a bit thick in places. The gun also needs smoother blends. Still a good sold paint job.
