dam..i feel stupid i should of thought o that earlyer!

do u know wut paints to use for gold!

Gold is usually made by using brown, and building it up to white. At least that\'s what I think . That should give a good effect.

One of the mosrt used recipe is chaos black- snakebite leather- Skull white. It also implies good placement of the highlights and extreme smootness of the blending.

Hey, while this is on topic.. I paint metallics but I often have trouble with trimming... here\'s a question; think nmm trimming would look silly on a model painted with metallics ?

 

[jester of death]

nmm trimming on real metallics will look \"painted\".

i think it would look like your guy tried to make himself look more regal by painting his armour.

its pretty much all nmm or all true metallic.

not always, some colour transitions can be quite harsh but i agree that the smooth ones should be smooooooooooth.
