Wow, I was getting worried since you didn't post for quite some time. Then I drop out of the whole forum myself for e few weeks and when I return there is a whole host of new things to look at. Great stuff as always. And even though I like CBs color scheme for O12, the dark blue and black that you used looks more aggressive and "serious" :D, reminds me of the S.W.A.T. teams in the US. If you have already then excuse me, but could you mention what base colors you use for your black? I have tried a couple so far, and most of them show their "true color" as a really dark shade of brown (IMO). Yours appears to have a natural blue tone.
I painted quite a few minis in the last half of the year but didn't get around to takin g pice as I was too busy. ;-) I did post some instructions on the main colours annd here they are again: I just didnt use very bright highlights on the black and blue areas. Black areas: Black grey and grey green used to highlight black clothing and then bit of extra highlight for armour with dark sea grey (all V MC). Blue: Imperial blue (V GC) as a base with black shading, then tiny bit of white mixed with imperial blue to highlight. :-)
INFINITY DEFIANCE OUTCAST O-12 This was a great way to finish off my Defiance collection. A mini O-12 army. Defiance was such an awesome project for a hobbyist as it included two armies to paint, a giant bio-mech and buckrt loads of heroes from every faction. There was a pretty cool dungeon crawler to play too lol! I have played through the main campaign and now all the minis are done it's time to play through the expansions
INFINITY YU JING - Dragon Lady HVT (Exclusive Figure) Apart from Defiance i hade quite few other random minis that I worked on in the last half of the year. The Dragon Lady was nice HVT to add to my Ju Jing army. I tink I like the other on better, never the less this lady was a lovely mini to paint.
INFINITY JSA: Karakuri Special Project Karakuri Special Project I like the fact that these are such happy murderbots. Nice to work on some JSA in 2021, finished these bots just before I started my Defiance expansion. I think I still like my converted versions better, but these new ones are very cool never the less.

INFINITY MERCS: Oktavia Grímsdóttir, Icebreaker Helmswoman and Harpooner This lady was a fun diversion from any particular force I have been working on. Stuck close to the studio colours but alterd slightly to my merc army colours. I like her experssive face, reminds me of Deborah Harry.
INFINITY IKARI COMPANY: Authorized Bounty Hunter (Dismounted) So I simply painted the Hazmat Dire Foes HVT with the same colours as my Ikari ABH. That is because she is essentially the same miniature with a haircut. Gotta say she is one of my favourites in the Infinity range, so I'm glad to add her to the ranks, especially since ABH on bikes are in vogue this ITS season. Check out the mounted version here
@archangeleong Nicely done on linking two models that have no connection together. The paint job really sells it.
INFINITY NOMADS TUNGUSKA: Szalamandra Squadron Got the big boy done around the end of last year. It's one of the best TAGs around. Lot's of black and dark metal textures required quite a bit of thought to highlight. I stuck mostly with the studio colours and markings. Lot's of freehand on this guy. The skull I added to tie him in with my Hollow Men and the idea I borrowed off a cool looking Szalamandra I found on the net. Video
INFINITY NOMADS TUNGUSKA: Szalamandra Squadron Pilot (conversion) Szalamandra Squadron Pilot So I just used the Lizard Pilot model and rebased her as well as giving her a slight haircut to make my Szalamandra Pilot. The official model is too dated for my tastes to bother painting. Besides, this mini has the best butt in the business! I think I have now painted just about all of the pin-up minis by CB. I hope they make some more and don't go too woke as a sign of the times today (haven’t seen a new one in a while sadly). Gender politics are a bit of a minefield these days, but why can’t we still appreciate sexy ladies? Pin-ups have a long history and it has been argued that they are indeed feminist just as much as they are not. I for one just want to celebrate feminine beauty and sexuality. So (as JT once sang) please bring back the sexy mini CB!
How about these guys for some Ariadna proxies? Not exactly Infinity but this project has been lots of fun to paint in the last month or so.
