'Armour' from RodF: Beauty and the Beast

In the near future we will see infantry in power armor.  For the Armor round I chose to paint up a Lizard Squadron from Corvus Belli's Infinity line.  In addition, I also painted the Lizard Pilot.

The battle armor was named "Dorthy" by my wife.  After giving it a gray primer and a quick wash of black to bring out the details, I started with the base red paint.  For some reason I started with the feet.  My wife walked up and said, "Ruby slippers! It's Dorthy!"  And the name stuck because every time I saw her she'd ask how Dorthy is coming along?  Oh well... it's not the name I would have chosen, but I present to you.  Dorthy.

Those tubes were supposed to attach to the back, but I was already frustrated with all the fiddly bits during the assembly and just decided I'm make them part of the base.  I used some plastic to make the bin and tossed in the containers and the extra ammo belt.  The rest of the base is made of plastic-card and a copper wire.

Here's the pilot.  If we've learned anything from years of Japanese Animation, is that a women in skimpy armor is very deadly in a suit of power armor.  I'm hoping she'll wreck some havoc in my next game on Infinity.  I certainly need something to counter my horrid die rolls!

These are both 28mm.

Hope you enjoy!
