Frost's Infinity Thread (warning, non-GW content!)

[FearFrost]

Either some of my compadre's Pan-Oceania dudes (they are back a few pages, just assembled) or more of my Nomads. I still have to come up with some original ideas for the paintschemes on the rest of my Infinity stuff

[sheep]

Those look fantastic, and the bases are a great improvement.

Very well done, Can't wait to see the Pan Oceania, got any plans for a TAG soon?

Cheers

amzing minis, man! i like their style, they look just as jumping out a manga !

[Boss_Salvage]

They all look great, and I'm really digging the chick. Great choice on the hair color too

So no pics, but a little news: I just got my Series 7 brushes, and Im pretty damned impressed!

They have almost no flare in their taper...they pretty much go straight to a perfect point. If I can manage to keep them clean, it looks like they will keep their sharp point for a long time, which is good...since they were almost 10 bucks each

Ill keep you gents informed when I start using them, but it LOOKS like all of the hype is justified

[nanktank]

Great job Frost keep em coming, what is this hype with the series 7 brushes?

[asecondtoolate]

Frost I got 3 W&N Series 7 brushes for christmas, and they are SO nice. I can't use other brushes now because they feel weird to me.

[FearFrost]

Hey guys, sorry for that lack of updates...this weekend I spent playing Infinity as opposed to painting it

Here is a little WIP action, just blocking out the first colors on my hellcats:

[Asi the Red]

Hey ya'.

Love the black and red... and d@mn that's a big grenade launcher (right?)...

[FearFrost]

Its actually an "adhesive launcher" but I count it as a boarding shotgun (bigass shotgun that shoots scatter and slugs) in game

[Khrangar]

Good start to the hellcats. The one thing I noticed is that the non adhesive launcher one looks like he/she's going to stip on the stairs.

Frost I have a question as far as templates/markers are concerned.
how did you make yours? did you download them/print them off your computer, did you glue them to something to make them stronger or what? because I'm confused as to how I should go about making some.

[Reign in Blood]

So Sweet. I saw a 'Infinity Games' store on the road my bus stop is on. I am sure it is a hobby store, but I don't know if it sells these. It would make sense that they did but who knows. I should probably check it out. The models get better and better...FearFrost maybe it is just your magic brush, but I am really tempted. The references for the game that have been made, seem really interesting. I should stop reading before I go and spend what little money I have lol. Still great stuff as always FearFrost, keep it coming.

My only problem with the PDF file for templates is that the light flame template ends up clipped when it gets printed. Boo.

Im probably just going to scan the ones out of the books and print em. Id mount them on some type of plastic if you can. I made some ghetto camo/wound/etc. counters by "laminating" the printed ones with packing tape, then using scissors to trim them up.

The round templates are exactly CD sized, so just use old CD-R's or AOL discs to mount em on.

Ill try to keep it coming, its hard to find time for stuff like this in my school schedule, but I get a few hours of free time a week

Thanks for all the comments,

Thanks for the advice Frost.

I feel so full of questions, because I have another non-infinity related one.
What kind of primer do you use? Because I went to spray my next few models and my ancient can of white spray paint has bitten the dust. It was fine for my first model but it's siezed up!

Thanks!

[FearFrost]

I have a stockpile of older GW primer, actually

When you are finished spraying, hold the can upside down and spray it til no paint comes out...that clears the nozzle and should keep em from doing that

[asecondtoolate]

I hate spray primer.

almost as much as i dislike gw right now.

[FearFrost]

Brushing on primer leaves strokes and whatnot. Ewww. Maybe you can try that gesso technique that someone mentioned on the boards, that would be relatively inexpensive and it looked like it dried smooth

[schoolcormorant]

if you live in canada the can might be a bit cold.....
warm it up slgithyl by standing it on top of the TV for a bit before using...or wrap in a towel and sit on a radiator but don't forget about it
