    Finally painted the Boyg!
    This model was in my "Want to paint and play" list before I even came back to Infinity.
    I decided to switch up the colour scheme a bit here and give the armour more white then blue. Also wanted to give the armour a bit more of character and add numbers or some strips/lines, but since I am not confident with freehand I decided against that idea.
    Now my Helsinki Satellite list is painted!

    I'm not confident myself with free-hand painting myself but so far the few attempts I made were not that catastrophic.
    If you're heading for straight to lines, it could be pretty easy.
    I suggest you give it a try next time even just on a flat test surface, you may be happily surprised.
    Also, using glaze medium for a "base" then adding layers, allow to reduce the "not fully straight" aspect.

    I did do some freehand on my CSM from 40k, but not confident to do that on Infinity models :D

    Thank you!

    I love that Boyg, I cannot pin what the changes are from the official scheme, but there are and it makes it look so much better and menacing.

    Thank you :D

    I have a bit more white on the legs compared to the studio painted one, no free hand stripes and no bright green on mine :D

    Shona painted! Model I was looking forward to paint but did not enjoy the process what so ever, it was awkward to paint.
    Do not like how the sword came out and I think should have went with a leather coat on her instead of white.
    What's done is done and she is tabletop ready.

    Well done, I really like this model, despite my usual not liking of having enemies killed in the base.

    I finally did it! Painted my first Tag and it was not as hard as I was expecting it to be [​IMG]
    I got this model already semi build and it was in a very bad state, so had to disassemble it, pin, green stuff and file a lot in order to put it back together.
    The first layers of paint was a nightmare to apply, as the model is heavy I had to hold it differently and thus the risk of chipping some paint was always there, but once I moved on from basecoating and to highlightinging it became a blast to paint!
    I am immensely happy with the end result [​IMG] The blue came out nice and crisp which was one of my fears how it will look on a big model .
    One thing I might come back and add is more red source light on his arms ventilations/grills. I am as of yet not sure if the model needs it but I will give the idea some time to marinade in my head before deciding [​IMG]

    I love how your theme changes the look of the model.
