    Finished another reinforcement model: The Ment agent. Still not a fan of the pose, but I like her much better in that color scheme and with a different face:

    Interesting conversions, Ment is really nice, only comment I would have is that a severed Gecko head would probably have its lights turned off.

    I thought about that as well, but in the end I went for coolness over realism ;) Could also be a spare battery system that kicked in :P

    Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on the forums a lot lately. Thank you for those nice words!

    Sure, here are the color recipes (they are in fact quite similar to what I posted back in the day, but not exactly the same):

    Dark blue cloth

    • Base: AK Interactive Dark Sea Blue
    • Highlight: AK Interactive Dark Sea Blue + VMC Blue Grey (50/50)
    • Highlight: VMC Blue Grey
    Brown leather
    • Base: VMC Flat Earth
    • Shade: VMC Smoke
    • Highlight: VMC US Field Drab
    • Edges: VMC Dark Sand

    I also just realized there are still a couple more O-12 minis I haven't shown yet. For example, these Jackboots:

    I have to say it’s been a long time since I enjoyed painting an Infinity miniature this little. I’m sure it wasn’t just the sculpt’s fault (although they are exceptionally fiddly and surprisingly small), but also my fatigue of painting this color scheme. These were the second-to-last O-12 minis I painted before selling the army, and I really couldn’t wait to never paint the scheme again. I hope it’s not noticeable and I was able to deliver the usual quality, but no, these didn’t spark joy...

    Honestly, it didn't help that only one of the three Jackboots that come in the box actual has the correct loadout on the mini these days. For example, the HMG above is technically a Spitfire on the sculpt – but the profile only has an HMG now. The weapons look similar enough though that I didn't bother replacing it.

    There also is no Combi Rifle loadout anymore (the weapon the guy beklow had originally). So, since the HRL looked like one of the actually interesting profiles, this guy got a Heavy Rocket Launcher courtesy of Haqqislam instead.

    While the guns of the last of the Jackboots, the engineer, were correct, I had to do a headswap. The original face just looked like the failed experiment of a mad dentist, so I found a 3D-printed helmet that would reasonably fit in with the others, even if it's not 1:1 the same.

    It still amazes me how the change in colour theme transforms the models.
