Yippee Ki Yay mother.....s New toys!
Well I'm here with more pictures of newness and painted models.
I finally received my last units for my Nomad force from Element games (and220 is my code, I'll happily return the favour)
Firstly here's what I bought:

1 x Gecko Squad,
1 x Iguana Squad,
1 x Hellcat squad,
Infinity templates
5 x 28mm scenic bases
2 x 40mm scenic bases
1 x 60mm scenic base
and
Knight models, The Flash.
First up to be built were the Gecko squad have been looking forward to these guys, ever since I saw them released:

The unboxing, the great thing about Infinity boxes they come in a separate padded box:



These guys were absolute beasts to build, great fun. They fitted well together with very little gaps, some companies out there need to take a notice of these models, quality miniatures, at a reasonable price made from metal not some fancy useless resin.
The next one out of the Box was the Iguana TAG plus pilot, again something I was looking forward to build:



The Pilot:
Again just like the Geckos, this was a beast to build and I loved it. Again fitted together lovely with very few gaps that needs filling.
Lastly was the Hellcats, which came in a blister:

In this pack there were 2 hellcats, 1 Hacker and 1 armed with a HMG:
HMG:

The Hacker:

These guy were great to build but not as fun as the Geckos and Iguana.
And of course the Templates:

Nice simple templates, not much to really report other than I love the fact you can choose the colour you want.
Oh I won't leave out the standard group shot too:

And of course where would this blog be without something from Knight models.
And shock horror it ain't a Marvel character or a DC character being turned into a Marvel character but an actual DC character the Flash:

With the Flash I am going to try something new, and for the second time ever, I am going to try my hand at sculpting.
I am going to try and sculpt the notion of speed:
I started off creating a funnel effect with plasticard:

I at this point realise I very little greenstuff and it's Saturday night, and I live in the middle of nowhere and the hobby shop will be closed on Sunday. BUGGER!
So off to Tesco I go on Sunday and while shopping I pick up some Plumbers putty, in the hope that will work...
Bollocks did it work started of great and cure with in seconds, so I bite the build dug up some old liquid greenstuff I have and it had thickened up nicely enough to use use just like normal greenstuff.
So with my tools and a little water I am now building up the effect:
First layer:

After a few more layers not sure if I should do more or paint it as water or dust:

So I really could do with some help, more layers and water or dust?
I promised some painted stuff:
Well here is Alice and Bo the dog from the Apocalyptic future completed:



I am waiting on the Angel Giraldez painting guide before I start the Infinity minis so Flash next then probably Gandalf
Sheesh, colour me jealous Wolvie, the Nomad stuff you've picked up is pretty much what's on my own wishlist atm. :) I'll be looking forward to seeing you work on those!
ReplyDeleteI think that Flash could do with getting the angle between the plates softened, if that makes sense? Where the horisontal bottom plate meets the rising plates on the side. I think that would make it look more like a shock cone. Inventive base, tho - I doubt I'd have thought of something like that, it's cool.
Good job on Alice and Bob too.
