Geeky Hobbies: Vietnam War themed Acon kitbash first look

Literally the only downside to being kicked off of stupid Facebook for a month is that it’s the best place to post my various mini painting WiPs while I’m doing them. (the rest of that place is just a cesspool, but there’s some good hobby pages) I don’t normally post mini WiP pics to the blog, because WordPress gets crashy when I post too many pics. But here goes nothing.

These are all for the game Infinity. So this will be nerdy gibberish for most of you.

Having wrapped up the Wakanda themed Corregidor army, I needed a new epic kit bash (meaning these are all unique minis built out of parts cut up from other minis) project to work on. I decided to go with a Vietnam War theme. I’m using the Shock Army of Aconticimento. Basically these guys are all getting painted like they’re off of Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, etc and have been stuck in the jungle for a long time (lots of pigments and weathering)

So here is the first look at the MACP-SOG (Military Assistance Command Paradiso-Studies and Operations Group) or I’m just gonna call them Lurp for short.

Acon Regulars. I got the idea from the simple head swap using US Ariadna heads on Regular bodies I did a while ago (the already primed ones).  Heads are Mad Robot on a variety of Pano bodies and arms.

Next is the proxy everybody has been working on (since there isn’t a model yet) the Montessa Knight, mounted and dismounted. I used matching Father Knight bodies as the base for this, then cut down two different HMG arms to stand in for the boarding shotgun. (this fits the least with the theme, but is a super cool unit I want to play)

The Guardo de Assaulto looks like Lumberjack Commando. I made his Auxbot look like a pack mule.

Then Draikos and Scylla, same basic idea. If you’re gonna be in the jungle for weeks on end, make your robots carry your gear. (not pictured but I’m working on some other remotes too)

Bagh Mari, same basic idea as the Regulars

Nagas and Rao

And the big Dragao center piece, who is going to be named Animal Mother.  I’ve done a ton more work on this one already, but this is a step by step pictorial project. 🙂

EDIT: I’ve done more to the TAG

 

First Look at the Custom Earl Harbinger S&W 625 from Apex

I just got this beauty from Apex Tactical

https://www.apextactical.com/

It’s custom everything, and it is gorgeous. Scott at Apex put a lot of thought into this project, and every decision was Earl Harbinger specific. The trigger is really good.

I’ll put up a longer post with more details next month (even throttled FB track backs are my #1 sources of blog hits, so might as well wait until I’m out of jail so more people can see it)

 

Krasnovia In Exile (I’m in Facebook Jail Again)

I should have posted this yesterday, but I came down with a nasty bug.  I can’t even do another Free Krasnovia video because I’ve lost my voice.

But anyways, I got put in Facebook Jail again for Violating Community Standards, 30 days this time. Being powerless, meaningless, sad losers, China Mike’s little minions have nothing better to do that report all my posts as hate speech. These people are a fantastic example of how red flag laws will work in real life.

So I got kicked for a link to my blog. It couldn’t be for calling him a failed conman, because that is 100% accurate. Calling him a polyp might be fake news, in that he is actually technically a fatty tumor.

What they don’t realize is that this doesn’t actually hurt me in any way. Whenever I get kicked off of Facebook my fans get all riled up and share whatever got me booted even more. It’s the Streisand Effect. As an added bonus, I really do despise Facebook, and I’ve been arguing with a lot of commies lately… I’m sorry, Democratic Socialists (even though we all know socialism is HIV to communism being AIDS) and there are so darn many of them (and they’re all really really dimwitted) it’s been a time suck.

So this way I’ll get more work done faster, so I can get paid more, and I’ll still write whatever I want here, and just count on the fans to share it for me. It’s a pretty sweet gig.

And now I’m gonna drink a bunch of Nyquil and go play Call of Duty all day.
