Monorail!

Forgot the monorail!  Walt Disney was right about what is to come.  Not sure he thought 175 years into the future, Nomads will be taking out key targets from a nearby balcony though.

Progress update

Just a quick status update.  I finished my 4x4 mdf board.  I used textured black spray paint for a quick result.  In time, I hope to come up with a better plan for the surface but it will do just fine for now. 

I also built my District 5 apartment buildings, garage and guard houses.  I still have another garage, 2 L-shaped apartments and a bunch of catwalks to put together.  I am waiting on an order from Warsenal to round out my starting terrain.  I have some planters, benches and some awesome acrylic pieces on their way.  Gotta get all this built and then the painting starts!



 

I found these cars at Wal-Mart.  I understand there seems to be a quest to find size appropriate cars for Infinity.  I think the one on the left will work just fine,.  The car on the right seems a little big.  The cars are Transformers so they will need some TLC to make them tabletop ready.
 
 
Just a note on the figure.  I started painting my Nomads last fall but stopped because I just did not like the basing I did for them.  I just recently picked up some Secret Weapon Tau Ceti bases and love how they look.  My Nomad has been taken from the old base that just had sand and put on the new one.  I need to get the bases painted and address the feet of the figure.  For whatever reason, the old bases were like a writer's (painter's?) block that I had to get past.  Now that I have that behind me, I am ready for finish my starter boxes.

MDF fun

I've been working on some MicroArt Studio terrain.  It is coming along slowly but I keep moving forward.  I also picked up some aquarium plants that will be used in future projects.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

About a year ago, I picked up three starter sets.  I've had the rule books for a while but never got around to diving into the game.  I need to first get these put together and painted and have some beginner box battles.

I picked the Nomad, ALEPH and Combined Army starter boxes:
