This beauty took about a week of evenings to do and I'm well chuffed with the coppery NMM armour. The base is made up of broken Hirst pillars, lumps of cork, Vallejo pumice paste, bird sand and earth scatter.
Colours used were...
Skin: VMC French mirage blue, shade with VMC Oxford blue, highlight with VMC pale blue grey, then VMC silver grey.
Cloth: 3:1 mix of VMC black and vermillion, highlighted by adding more vermillion, then red and golden yellow.
The green bottle: Base with VMC black green, then layer up through deep green, VGC goblin green, then VMC light green, finishing with white sparkles.
Copper/bronze NMM: Base with VMC burnt cadmium red, shade with a 50/50 mix of GW scorched brown and VMC turquoise. Re-highlight with Burnt cadmium red, then layer up through red leather to orange brown, add a spot of base skintone, then a spot of pale skin, then a spot of ivory.
Verdigris was a wash of VGC foul green, then VMC verdigris glaze.

Ok I've just seen this beauty in the flesh and the pictures really do not do it justice. What the photo misses are the fantastic tones of the copper NMM and the incredible smoothness of the painting. Fantastic job, well done! |

great work on the red metallics
you highlighted them very well, without turning it into looking like red plastic, which happens sometimes if you want to NMM something else than regular metallic colors 
skintones look great also
and the base finishes everything up nicely |
