Looking at it I am thinking, scab red, green and bronze metal bits with a pewter stand....???
I am also thinking airbrush....
It\'s 27 cm\'s high with the standard
And I suck at airbrush, never really given myself to learn it on a decent level.
And I said it would be challenging
Time to get my hands dirty Metallics are Great at this scale!
As the title suggests, metallics are fin on such a large scale, in fact, they will look better than NMM (IMHO), because of the larger size and hence more capacity to render truer to life-like. A bust of this size will show obvious signs of misdirected light from an NMM perspective, because the point of view changes greatly. Use JRN\'s technique for shading and highlighting the metallics and you\'ll be pleasantly surprised.

If you don\'t use an airbrush, I suggest oils. We debated about if this is good for the resin on another thread, and I believe it was Vinyls that make the pait go bad.. Anyways, if you\'re not going to airbrush, Metallics is also good, especially those alcohol based ones, but agin, make sure it\'s primed good because paint thinner and resin don\'t mix. Doing it by hand will take a LOT of time, but then so would masking if you were airbrushing. I really want to do my Mid Nor resin, but in winter, it\'s not a good time to spray paint that\'ll just freeze before it gets to the mini!

No, El Paso is hot, but that just means fall and spring are just put into summer. I think yesterday it was 85 and today the low was 60. Also, we get a lot of wind, and since there\'s no water in teh soil, the dust is just kicked around in the wind, so it\'s not really Aibrushin\' weather, unless I can get the garage to myself.

What\'s JRN\'s technique? And actually I want to make the armour coloured, but I\'m mixing with metallic agent, so the colour will become metallic.
JRN\'s Technique
Not that I am an expert, but I will try to answer your question:
Jakob Nielson (JRN) [and I do apologize for any mispellings] uses multiple layers of colored inks to add depth and color to his metallics. I\'m not sure if he belongs to CMoN, but he regularly posts to mini-painter on Yahoo. His minis are truly beautiful examples of how metallics can be rendered. Another source for pictures would be White Dwarf GD UK coverage. Hope this helps.

Ah yes, I remember that lord of change, I love the helmet, so much beter than the one they put onto the official model when they updated
IIRC he uses lots of layers of brown and green inks, and stipples the metallics on rather than just brushing them on
How difficult can it belol

He also won the sword this year for a group of chaos knights. So check out this years coverage on the stuff of legends site.
He uses Tamiya clear paints (they are kind of like inks but more gloopy and dry quite glossy).
