Hello to everybody!! .(I´m from Spain)

Please, excuse me by the incoherences that I can write from now on, my English is really bad!!.

Wel, I´d like to ask you what colour range I can use witha Viridian Colonial Shock Marine from Urban War (Urban Mammoth).

Specially to to make something similar to this:

what vallejo colours I could use for the yellow zones?.

Thanks for answer.

My best guess is most of the stuff people use for NMM gold, but with a touch of green into the base color and not as much bright highlights.

Do you use Model Color or Game Color?

hi Equus! thanks for answer, I prefer model color, due to its huge color cart.

In what colours are you thinking?

Oh! Totally forgot to say:

WELCOME!!

Hope your stay is pleasant and at least somewhat helpful. :D

Honestly, I don\'t do NMM. Well...I tried once, but haven\'t really worked it too much. I\'d probably use some kind of light leather (brown) mixed with a small touch of green or olive as a base, then work up through yellow with some white highlight.

EDIT: I probably should have added that I\'d probably try to make the yellow stronger than you would probably normally see in NMM gold, but I\'m not sure how it would turn out.

drielo: Welcome to the forums.

Having read you question and looked at the image I have a couple of suggestions you might wish to consider:
Vallejo Model Color 121 Yellow Ochre
or 126 Gold Brown

Or alternatively a more muted colour base,
114 Dark Yellow or 114 Green Brown.

Hope that this helps and we are looking forward to seeing your submissions.

I second Dragonsreach\'s suggestions. I have all those colours he mentions and I use them for different types of NMM gold. I\'d suggest to also get Pale Sand (don\'t have the number at the moment) for highlights.
