My friend David is a bit of a 3D printing buff, and often sends me random prints and oddities for Xmas etc.

Some time ago he sent me two cool Yakuza (Japanese gangster) models from the Unit 9 range from Myminifactory.

After a bit of thought I decided to paint the models up to use as HVTs (High Value Targets) in my Infinity games. These models are essentially a type of objective marker that can be used to score points in certain secondary mission objectives.

I started by priming both models with a zenithal prime using Vallejo Black and Grey primers through my airbush.

I added a final top down spray of white ink just to bring the highlights up as I was intending to use Army Painter Speed paints on the models.

All colours below are Army Painter Speed paints unless otherwise noted.

Top-knot

Jacket – Hive Dweller Purple

Shoulder/elbow pads – Sand Golem

Trousers – Pallid Bone

Shoes – Grim Black

Hair/gun – Vallejo Model Color (VMC) Black then VMC Black Grey highlight

Skin – VMC Chocolate Brown then highlights of VMC Cork Brown and VMC Basic Skintone

Quick-draw

Jacket – Slaughter Red

Waistcoat – Magic Blue

Trousers – Hardened Leather

Shoes – Grim Black

Hands – Gravelord Grey then Vallejo Model Color Oily Steel to define backs of fingers.

 

Finishing touches

With the base colours down on most of the models I painted some final details using Valljo Model Colour(VMC) paints

Hair/gun – VMC Black then VMC Black Grey highlight

Skin – VMC Chocolate Brown then highlights of VMC Cork Brown and VMC Basic Skintone

Glases – VMC Oily Steel

The bases were covered in PVA glue before applying fine sand.

When dry this was painted with VMC Black Grey then drybrushed first with VMC Dark Seagreen then VMC Neutral Grey to get a tarmac like finish.

The base edges as ever were painted VMC black and a generous coat of varnish finished the models off.

Nice crisp prints and they look good with their paint job. I’d almost forgotten the days of using a custom HVT in Infinity. Good stuff.
