Last night my Medic needed a Medic!

Last night I had one of those moments every miniature painter dreads.  I had finished my final model for game 1 of the Infinity escalation league I'm going to play in, I had just carried it in from gloss-coating it outside...at which point I clipped the box I was using on my door frame and sent the model to my tile floor.  The little headset piece broke off and flew off never to be found again and I was left staring at a no longer finished (or even decent looking) model.

So I ended up puttying up the hole where the headset is supposed to mount and doing an hour of paint touch-ups to the hand and head to salvage the model.


Except for the irregularity around where the beret now blends into the head a bit I think it turned out okay.

.....definitely a good reminder why I prefer chunky plastic models as opposed to fine detailed metal models.....

  1. I think it turned out pretty good Jay. Can't wait to kill it in-game!
    Also, I do love that she seems to actually be calling a Medic over . . .

    1. Looking forward to it tonight. Just FYI I am going to bring my Malifaux as well so depending on how things shake down we might be able to get in a game of that as well.

  2. Way to get back on the horse J. Unfinished disasters are the worst.

    1. I knew if I didn't fix her ASAP she'd end up in the garbage.

      Turns out she was one of my most effective models in my first game under the new Infinity rules.
