Painting Service

I offer a professional miniatures painting service to collectors and gamers alike. As you may have noticed browsing this blog, I tend to favor miniatures for Infinity: The Game, but can also paint models from any range.

Prices and time-frame vary based on complexity and quantity. Please email me today with the details of your project so that I can provide a quote.

I put out top-notch single figure and gaming amies. I do not lower my quality of output to paint "on the cheap." This offer is for high-quality, beautiful miniatures that you will be proud to own and play with. There are many other services that can provide you with fast, inexpensive models at a lower quality.

Using the Infinity: The Game "Silhouette" system as a basic pricing guide, quotes will begin in the following ranges, per model:

S1 - Small, half-sized infantry such as Crazy Koalas, Fast Pandas, and Spotbots - $50-75
S2 - Standard 25mm - 32mm Infantry model - $150
S3 - Remotes, small artillery pieces - $150-200
S4 - Motorbikes, Combat Remotes, larger artillery - $200-300
S5 - Larger, bulkier infantry models and smaller monsters - $200
S6 - Larger Monsters, Mini-TAGs, bigger stuff - $250-$300
S7 - TAGs, large robots, Warjacks - $300+

Again, that is just a basic guide so you know the ballpark I am asking before receiving a quote. They are not hard and fast prices, and can change based on the complexity of the model, color scheme, etc.

Models

You can purchase the models and have them sent to me, or I can acquire the models for you. I will charge actual price paid for the models, and that amount will be required as a part of the deposit for the project.

Basing

Models include a basic sand-textured base top as standard. And further details, custom-building, or the use of resin or acrylic bases will cost extra, as appropriate. I recommend bases by Warsenal and Dragon Forge Design.

Painting

Painting includes cleaning and assembly of the models, with joint pinning where appropriate (and viable). Models will be spray-primed, painted, and spray-varnished with Testor's DullCote when complete.

Armies/Units

I am not accepting commissions for large 40K-style armies with hundreds of models at this time. However, if your army has 10-20 models, or if you would like a unit of a similar size, I am up for that. Orders for models in a similar, coherent color scheme will be eligible for a 10% discount off of regular prices, thanks to the time saved in "assembly-lining" while painting.

Infinity Armies - If you're new to the game or to a faction, I am happy to help design an army list along with suggestions on how to use it for any of the Infinity: The Game factions. We can discuss this together to help plan your Complete Infinity Army project. 

Shipping

All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. This includes tracking and insurance, at the buyer's discretion. This also includes the shipping costs, if any, of models ordered for the project. Models are sent from Chandler, AZ, USA.

Payment

PayPal is the accepted form of payment. It can accept all of your credit and debit cards. Payment in full will be required before the models are shipped. If payment is not received within 7 days of completion, the models become mine to do with as I see fit, and the Deposit paid is forfeit.

Is a Deposit Required?

Yes, the full retail value of the models to be purchased will be invoiced as a deposit, along with 10% of the final cost of the project.  The balance will be required before models are shipped. Deposits are non-refundable.

Bumblebee Step By Step

This resin car terrain piece by Antenociti's Workshop spruces up any Infinity game table. Here's how I painted mine.

I'm painting this 90% with an airbrush. Dark lining and edge highlights are painted with a regular detail brush.

I started with the windshields. They are based with P3 Cygnar Blue Base, then highlighted with P3 Cygnar Blue Highlight, old GW Ice Blue (VGC Ice Blue is the equivalent), VGC Wolf Grey and White. Then it was shaded with P3 Coal Black. It was lined with RMS Blue Liner, and then edge highlights were painted with Wolf Grey and White.

Using blue painter's tape and liquid mask, I protect my finished windows.

Next, I painted the metal of the wheels, engine and side exhausts. Over black, I used VMC 166 Dark Grey, 160 Neutral Grey, 155 Light Grey, and White.

Some tones were added using VGC Turquoise mixed with a drop of P3 Cygnar Blue Base.

It is lined with Black, and then edge highlighted with White, before getting the liquid mask treatment.

Next up are the head and tail lights. I used Vallejo Game Air Bloody Red, Hot Orange and Orange Fire, then old GW Golden Yellow (VGC Gold Yellow) and Sunburst Yellow (Sunblast Yellow) and finally white.

Mask it!

I want the car to have two black stripes. It is much easier to paint the stripe color first, mask your racing stripes off with a single piece of tape, and then paint the main body color over it instead of painting the main body and trying to mask off stripes using multiple pieces of tape later.

To highlight the black, I used P3 Coal Black <> Exile Blue <> VGC Wolf Grey.

Now that the black is done, I can mask off where I want those stripes to be. I measured and cut even strips from a wider piece of yellow Frog Tape painter's tape. Just put a long strip of tape on your cutting board, measure and mark the width you need, and use a metal ruler to cut long pieces at once.

To help "seal" the edges of the stripe tape, I sprayed some more black over it before starting the main body color.

Finally! With all the smaller details handled, we can start painting the main color. I base coat with VGC 131 Orange Brown, and then shade that with VGC 137 Cavalry Brown. Then I highlight with 015 Flat Yellow (The real main color), 010 Light Yellow, and 013 Ice Yellow. Edge Highlights are also painted with 013 Ice Yellow.

Time to peel off all the masking tape and fluid!  You can see that it is not 100% precise, so simply touch up with a regular brush, lining, edging, and fixing blemishes as required.

Antenociti's Workshop Car

This resin car is a product of Antenociti's Workshop. Tomorrow I will put up a step-by-step of how I painted it.

Clearly, this was inspired by Bumblebee!
