Infinity 2019

As mentioned in updated project description bellow are models painted earlier this yer, but not shown up to now.

State of the 2019 strugle on 18th June:
Figures:
purchased – 24
painted – 11

Terrain:
purchased – 0
painted/build – 3

To date I’ve 3d printed and painted 3 pieces of terrain with Infinity in mind, I mean this year.

Bike and forklift are Antenocitis’ models from their recent *.stl kickstarter, Taxi comes from Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3409856

Photos bellow.

Now that was significant hiatus, but I have good excuse. I’ve built a full table worth of terrain for Frostgrave, and now finished a table for Infinity.

For years I wanted to build ‘spaceship’ table with narrow corridors and rooms full of strange tech. The thing is, however, that no matter how hard I tried, tables like that were not so enjoyable to play. I tried with Space Hulk tiles, and while it was something new it didn’t play well. It was always too cramped and crazy koalas were simply THE BEST piece of equipment imaginable, due to lack of maneuverable space.

Now, with imminent new campaign which shall take place in space-corridors of Human Edge stations and Defiance looming on the horizon, I decided to take on the idea of ‘spaceship’ table once again, but approach from different angle this time round.

The design ideas were more or less this:

• all components have to be 3d printed,
• printing time has to be manageable (there are tons of free and commercial designs of the corridors which take tens of hours to print 4” module),
• it has to allow building corridors and rooms of any sizes,
• it has to allow to build curved corridors,
• it has to be easy to paint,
• it has to take as little storage space as possible (that is my second greatest complain about all drangon-lock and similar solutions, they took tones of space to store),
• it should be set possible to set up a table in reasonable time.
• It should allow for building of higher levels (future project).

What you see bellow took:

• 40h of design and prototyping,
• 140-150h of printing,
• 20h of painting,
• 32 min of set up.

All components weigh 2,2 kg and fit comfortably in shoes box.

That would be it for description, photos time (one disclaimer here: I had major problems with lighting the scenes properly, the sun was already too low as it shows).

And in the end last warning for parents, similar projects are like magnets for children, as soon as I started setting that all up for photos my kids found out that those are actually very interesting blocks.

I chose the colour scheme considering the fluff of brawlers as the lowest cannon fodder among bounty hunters ranks. After painting the mini looked really plain and uninteresting. I tried to add something with the base which probably took about half the time spent on painting actual mini, but effects are… well not so great.

Now I’m thinking about adding some king of hacking deck, which can be seen as prototype on one of the pictures bellow. Haven’t made my mind on that yet.

My terrain painting campaign is going strong. I designed several different crates inspired by customeeple HDF kits. Some time ago I 3d printed and painted about 50 plain crates, this time, to break monotony I added some well-known pop culture trademarks.
