Hobby exploits 2020 and onward

I spent last evening painting bases, some are 3d printed others decupaged, and some just put together from scratch.

This is a robot from latest AW Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097161002/uks-governance-of-technology-3d-printable-vehicles?ref=discovery&term=antenoc.

A real joy to paint.

From my spreadsheet it looks I bought her in September 2016. I liked the model but I really have piles of cool civis to act as HVTs. With my recent search for good spring cleaning project I found her buried in a drawer.

For this year I pledged to paint 5 minis to higher standard, push myself painting them, employ new technics or pay special attention to some part of each of them. This is the first one. I don’t claim that it particularly stands out from my other paintjobs, however I made special effort with her face and legs which are supposed to be covered with skin coloured stockings…

From the blurb on Infinity store site: The Tariqas are the consultants and senior advisors of the Hachib, President of Haqqislam, as well as their spokespersons and representatives in the Senate of O-12. All of them are women with a deep and extensive knowledge and wisdom, personifying the best of the Haqqislamite culture.

Forgot about my Ghulams! I painted them before the Ragik from recent post.

I finished painting Hassasin Ragik with Boarding shotgun, the last mini from the line of miniatures realised in connection to Operation: Red Veil boxset. Red Veil premiered in August 2016, as Gencon release. For couple following months CB fleshed out the set with Dire Foes box and Beyond Operation Red Veil.

Until buying that set I played Quapu Khalki and Hassasin Bahram – both sectorial armies of Haqqislam. But since I bought that box I added vanilla Haqq and Yu Jing… and then ISS and then… I recently found out that I actually have two sets of minis from that box.

Anyway, the Ragik:

And family photos, Haqq and YJ:

I designed them to print flat and resemble one of the types of paper containers from Operation Red Veil box. From dates on my files it looks like I did designing bit in September/October 2018. I also printed them and assembled back then. Fast forward two years and there you have it…

And for comparison, paper original. I guess I could add some details to my paintjob.

One more new design replacing old one. Very cool, heroic pose in my opinion.

I love how Myuibs play in the game and the options they bring. Therefore I own 15 or 16 minis (of which game allows use of 6 at onece…). Below are two of my LGL guys in old form. Both painted in May 2016.

This is new design of a mini that was part of Quapu Khalki starter (now discontinued). Fun fact (?), that discontinued one (which was second iteration of the model in games history) was actually first Infinity mini I’ve ever painted.

I photographed the old version as well to show my progress in between February 2015 and March 2020 (and progress in CB’s sculpting between 2013 and 2019). The greatest difference between two those models is actually gluing them together. The old one has 4 or 5 pieces with contact points of 1 mm or less, the new one is two pieces – with contact point exceeding 1 cm2.
