I've been gradually painting my way through the Operation Icestorm starter box for Infinity for a few months now. It's been an interesting exercise, especially since I've been directly following Angel Giraldez's instructions - a combination of the specific guide on his Facebook page, and a lot of hints and tips from his painting book (which I recommend if you have an airbrush and a significant amount of painting experience).
I was waiting until they were all done to put any up here, but that's silly, I think. So here's one I've just finished.

I followed, pretty closely, the techniques in
this photo album. The only touch that's really my own is the 50/50 matt/satin varnish mix, which I'm really taking to. For whatever reason it's almost invisible going on, so it preserves the paint-job as I dun it. I don't like how much a matt varnish flattens everything, and I dislike the shine from satin. Leaving gaming models unvarnished isn't really an option for me, sadly, because I'm a ham-handed klutz.
Incidentally, I also tried shooting this model against a white backdrop.

| Maybe not, eh? |
Photography is hard, gentle reader. Bearing that in mind, have some more photos.

| I nearly forgot to paint the knife entirely, which would have been pretty shoddy. |

| I quite like the effect on the rifle viewfinder/scope thing. |

| Spot the deliberate mistake. Hint: Mistake not deliberate. |
