Infinity
Models: Pan Oceania- finished
on 12/15/11
Customer: Josh Bacon
Project Outline: I'll be painting up a
squad of Nomad
models for Infinity.
Assembly
Here
are some of the infantry models, with the Trauma Doc in
the center.
More
infantry. These models really remind me of the Appleseedseries by Masamune Shirow.
The small antennae on the various models are really fiddly...
and easy to lose. I had one of them from the guy on the
far left disappear into the carpet. After a futile search,
I built a replacement from thin plasticard.
Last,
but not least, the 'Cutter', a heavy mech suit.
Up next, primer and paint.
Painting
First
up are the basic line troops of PanOceania, the Fusiliers.
I went with blue-grey armor over with khaki pants, very
similar to the stock paintjob on the box.
Here
are the same 4 Fusiliers, with names painted on the bases.
For this whole force, the customer wanted names from a
variety of different sci-fi sources.
Here
are Logan and Shirow, the two Sikh Commandos of the force.
I thought Shirow was a particularly good name because of
the Appleseed influenced aesthetic of most of the models
Here's
Pierce, the trauma doc.
Brom
and Gesserit, the Orc Troop and the Croc Man. I'm not quite
sure what a Croc Man actually is, but I thought the facial
piercings and the toungue sticking out were pretty wild.
The
heavy hitter of the group, the Cutter, is named after my
favorite favorite character of the Appleseedseries.
Briareos is a full-body conversion cyborg and a master
marksman. I painted the '113' across the torso place, sinc
those were Bri's call numbers in Appleseed: Volume IV.
