When the pics were taken metal areas were covered with boltgun metal and glazed with midnight blue for steel like look. then i started working on shades by using watered down chaos black and scorched brown i glazed towards the direction where the shades will be. this is a time consuming process but its needed to establish smooth transition between metallic and not metallic paint
I think that's a good experimet:) really like the shiny armour. it is much harder to make smooth metalic surface with good contrast than nmm and you've really done a great job here! cheers, loler

Thanks a lot for the info.
ReplyDeleteHow many layers did you use to get the metallic boltgun basecoat? It seems really smooth too.
I usually use no or little water for the basecoat
ReplyDeleteto achieve smooth and strong color to work with.
It takes 1 or 2 layers to get enough saturation.
Further more if you use water with metallic paints pigment has tendency to fall of and loose its shine
