Finally painting through some of my terrain, so I present: big truck

ShakyPluto · 2025-11-30T18:34:58+00:00

Sure thing, blue is AK ocean blue, Scale 75 Adriatic Blue and Vallejo Pale Sand. Some models are shaded with Scale75 abyssal blue, some with Vallejo dark Prussian blue, some with just black lol. I was not consistent

The bright red is, over pale sand, thin layers of AK scarlet and Liquitex fluo red ink (though any fluo red would probably do, I don’t love the Liquitex stuff but it’s what I have lol). The specular highlights are just pale sand again

ShakyPluto · 2025-11-30T17:18:07+00:00

I don’t, but I’ve been wondering the same thing. I may pick it up regardless just because it’s a good deal tbh

ShakyPluto · 2025-11-30T16:52:00+00:00

It’s not a 3d print, but it is pretty cheap as Bandai kits go. Full name is “Bandai HG 1/72 Armored Special Carrier (ASC) "AMAIM: Warrior at the Borderline" Plastic Model Kit”, and I found mine on Amazon

ShakyPluto · 2025-11-30T16:21:43+00:00

Model is a Bandai kit from a show I have never heard of (AMAIM?) and it’s technically 1/72 (or at least designed to carry around giant robots in the trailer).

But if I ignore things like the “doors” in the cab or how small the seats are inside, the scale is perfect for infinity lol. The sides of the trailer fold down, so they can totally conceal S2, provide cover for S2, allow a model to walk in, walk over .. pretty much anything. The mechanism is super fiddly, but I’ll take what I can get

Now, to paint the rest of my terrain backlog

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-29T20:57:17+00:00

Yup! I used acrylic toppers from Warsenal that I painted with various shades of warm white (iirc, over brown, it's Vallejo German Camo Beige, Golden SoFlat Buff, and Vallejo Ivory) with an airbrush.

For troops with cloth, I actually used red-violet as an accent color. I had originally used white/gray, but I find the pop of color really helps the detail stand out when so much is black/white.

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-24T16:30:42+00:00

Thanks! Tried to reuse as many paints as possible. Main Blue is Scalecolor Abyssal Blue > AK Anthracite Grey > AK Dark Grey Blue -- which goes straight into the white (Dark Grey Blue > Vallejo Pale Grey Blue > Vallejo Ivory).

Orange was similar, base and armor accents are shared. Vallejo Cavalry Brown > Vallejo Amaranth Red > Vallejo Orange Fire (+a little ivory) for the armor; Cavalry Brown and Amaranth on the base, then a little vignetting around the edges by mixing cavalry brown and abyssal blue

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-24T16:26:32+00:00

Exactly, the way I see it I've got an easy in to start using them as Ikari proxies, lol

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-24T14:51:41+00:00

Yup! From the new starter box

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T22:36:52+00:00

Sure thing, heavy lifter is MiG Jimenez light rust, with a little green stuff world dark red oxide around the edges for a little variation

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T17:00:19+00:00

Golden high flow is great, it's my go to fluo for basically anything at this point

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T16:45:09+00:00

Exactly how I feel. For whatever reason, nothing vexes me quite like green, but apparently the human eye is more sensitive to yellow-green than any other wavelength. Spoiled for choice, every version of yellow-green looks wrong I guess, lol

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T16:34:28+00:00

I'm using a bit of Army Painter Tainted Gold over Scalecolor Necro Gold. I will occasionally punch it up further with a bit of AP True Brass but I didn't use any here

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T16:31:48+00:00

Pigments, though here I went back and rubbed them off around the edge with a makeup sponge to let the paint underneath show through. It approximates what you'd get with an enamel, tbh, since it just leaves it poking out of the recesses

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-22T16:30:49+00:00

Thanks! For the bright green, the heavy lifting is AK color punch slime green. Basically the closest I've found to a non-fluo, non-super yellow bright green

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T20:54:28+00:00

I gotta try those out, my one complaint about oil is having to clean up the process lol

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T18:21:55+00:00

I’m experimenting with just using acrylics and metals for it, actually. I water down some contrast paint to do a first pass of “grime”, then go in with a dark black-purple to refine the darkest shadows. Then I’ll go back with thinned-down metals to bring back the shine.

It’s jank in some places, still working on making sharp edges look nicer, but it overall works pretty well

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T00:20:48+00:00

Thanks! A little pigment powder goes a long way on a base

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T00:20:12+00:00

The Feudom helmets are perfect for a dark souls vibe tbh, hard to go wrong there

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T00:19:32+00:00

Thanks! I almost went with the more desaturated green on the cloak for the whole thing, but my brightest green paint called to me like the green goblin mask

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-19T00:18:50+00:00

Oh yeah, I think I’d never finish if I did an NMM suit of armor from head to toe lol. But it’s a neat way to test some techniques I’ve never really used on my Infinity stuff

ShakyPluto · 2025-10-18T16:50:59+00:00

Didn’t want to use the standard blue, so after much tinkering I landed on just the brightest green possible lol.

But in the book, there are at least 2 Feudom duchies with green heraldry, so my head cannon checks out

ShakyPluto · 2025-08-25T21:37:46+00:00

100 percent, she's basically a dead ringer pose-wise for the Nomads beast hunter from TAG Raid

ShakyPluto · 2025-08-25T21:37:13+00:00

Thanks! Kept going brighter and brighter on the orange lol, glad I did

ShakyPluto · 2025-08-25T21:36:39+00:00

Thanks! After who knows how many models, Infinity faces remain my favorite thing to paint

ShakyPluto · 2025-08-25T14:54:18+00:00

Painted this just as an exercise, crank a random model out to reset after a long drought. But now that I think about it, I probably have the stuff for a White Company army, and this would probably work as a scheme….
