The Big Guys!

 

Did I mention that I was VERY excited to have some Infamy Miniatures in da house?

 

Yes indeed!!!  Here we have some 54mm versions of outstanding sculpts.  As I mentioned in the first post, the detail is mind boggling.  They will be a joy to paint as a result.

 

It is also very easy to assemble them.  Everything is quite logical, and a solid peg is used each time.  You won't have to worry about sensitive joints breaking.

 

Each of the characters is cast in a minimal number of parts, which makes me a happy camper, and lets me get to the paint brushes that much faster :-)

 

The particular Bobby is going to be a lot of fun.  The gun, helmet, and other gadgets are finely sculpted and well cast.  Sometimes things like rivets and other tidbits that are so common to steampunk theme are either miscast or bisected by an evil mould line.  Not so here.

 

This jolly good fellow will be an opportunity for some very interesting skin colors.  Not to mention some OSL for the bit of fun he has in his hand...

 

This mega Sheriff is huge!  He's on a 60mm base.  I was amazed at how nicely all those arms and such fit together.  All of the joints used that same pin system, making it very easy to put together, and pretty resilient too.

 

I don't know if these will be the final bases or not.  They are from Secret Weapon Miniatures, by the way.

 

Up next from Infamy Miniatures will be a post that shows some 30mm versions of these characters, as well as a few more!  Stay tuned.

Kennel club

There's a new dog in the pound, and that's the H311-K9 mercenary from Wild West Exodus.

There are two 'breeds' of these deadly K9's, and either one can ruin your day.

Not only do they have major firepower, but their speed and multiple action points mean that their threat range is huge!  They can truly reach out and touch someone!!!

The Overseer

Here's one more figure from Miniature 13, called the Overseer.

I had a lot of fun painting all the subtle tans, greens and purples!

The camo cloak was done to carry some of those angles of the armor onto the flowing cape.

I did use a bit of weathering powders along the bottom of the cloak to create some dust and dirt, and feather out the pattern even more.

The idea behind the pattern was to give the impression that the hexes would mimic the surrounding colors when activated, blurring his appearance.

Purple and tan are natural colors to use together.  Most of the shading on the armor was done by mixing purple in with the tans.

Side by side with the concept art!!!

Go check out Miniature 13, where more concept art, prints and casts can be seen.

Shadow Deputy

Another fun deputy from Artizan Miniatures.

Serving the Lawmen of Wappelville as they attempt to bring order to the Wild West!

Boxing match

Here's another of the Red Box Games figures.

This current batch are metal, by the way.

More to come, so stay tuned!

Busted!

Hey folks!  This is something truly different for me... a first time event!

This spectacular bust from Infamy Miniatures will be the first bust that I have ever painted.  It's going to be so much fun, because Infamy puts some serious craftsmanship into their figures.

There's a link to their facebook page at the end of this post.  When you check out the pictures of the renders on that page, you can be sure that all the details you see in those images directly translates to the actual casts.  Wow!

Not only are the details super crisp and well rendered, the consistency of the resin is very nice.  It is silky, resilient, and not brittle in the least.

I have been prepping a number of them over the last week, and they have been among the easier to prep resin figures... very impressive!

I'm sure that there will be a lot of unique challenges to approaching a bust, so I truly look forward to this.  Obviously there will be a lot of glowing effects!

You can check out their page here, and see what kind of spectacular figures that Infamy has created.  There will be more posts coming that show 54mm and 32mm scale versions.

Incredible!!

Charge me up!

Is your Iron Horse running a bit slow... running down on its RJ-1027 fuel source?

Well, just head on over to your nearest charging station, and it will have you back up to speed in a jiffy!

This is a fun little kit that Lathan made after seeing the charging stations I made using the leftover punch outs and pieces from other Burn in Designs kits.

It was scaled to work with all the light supports... Blackjacks, Dust Cutters, Interceptors, you name it!

The view from above shows the station with the boardwalk sections.  I can't wait to work on the new ones!

Deputy Beringer of the Lawmen seems to be taking charge of the situation as well.

It was fun to get some toasty RJ glow in this version of the charging station.

The store and wagons are also Burn in Designs kits.

Still much more to come for Wappelville!!! Stay tuned.
