Ariadna...'nuff said

While work on the large vehicle commission continues, I had the opportunity one weekend to work on some of my personal miniatures.  I have been a fan of Corvus Belli's Infinity game and with my USAriadna box shipping soon it was about time to put some paint on my vanilla Ariadna.  So I decided to knock out all of my Ariadna in one weekend.  My plan almost succeeded but life came up so sadly six miniatures await completion.  That said it was still impressive how many actually were completed in that short span of time.  Now these are painted in my own color scheme featuring camouflage uniforms, green armor, and leather packs.  The basing you will see here is merely temporary till I find a basing scheme I like.  Without further rambling, here are my completed Ariadna.  I apologize for the dark pictures as the bulb blew out on my lamp as I was preparing to snap the pictures.

Now I am particularly proud of how my Chasseur turned out.  Now the goggles need some touching up the rest is exactly what I was aiming for.

Panzers on the march...

Last post I showed off some recently completed American tanks for Bolt Action, but they were not all that commission contained.  Part of this rather large commission were a good number of German vehicles.  These are not yet done being painted but I felt a few work in progress pictures would be cool.  I usually do not take many WIP pictures as I work on commissions.  I am usually too invested to take the time to snap a few pictures.  While it makes the clients happy as I am able to knock out the commissions faster it is quite boring to my readers.  So why not give it a shot today. 


Well you have Panthers, Tigers, and Opels...Oh My.  Yeah it is not the standard phrase but if you were an Allied tanker then "Oh My" would be the tamest thing you would say.  The Panthers here are in Ambush camouflage and merely await final touches.  The Halftracks and trucks are almost complete and feature a camo scheme matching some past German vehicles I have done.  The Panzer IVs will also feature Ambush once I get to them.  The other tanks will feature schemes chosen by my client.  That Maus will indeed be one of my favorites to work on as it gets the Girls Und Panzer treatment.  So much German armor but I must admit I quite enjoy painting German vehicles.
