I like this armour

[Guest]

Hi Alan this is looking the dogs, there are a number of ways to paint armour, the first is to paint it black and the using a sponge, lightly sponge the area with silver, this will give a mottled effect that looks very good, another is to use humbrol metal coat steel, this is amazing stuff as you paint a black base coat let it dry for 24 hours and then apply the metal coat, when that's dry you buff it up with a soft cloth and it gives a very realistic steel finish, contrary to popular believe armour, from most eras, wasn't shiny and polished


this is the effect you get from the humbrol metal coat

I take my hat off to anyone who can make a figure look as good as you do. I am rubbish at stuff like this, the thing is every single person is an expert on figures, we all know how a human being looks so know if something is wrong. Great work mate ( I especially like the skirt/dress whatever you call it, looks very realistic.)
