I don't think this quite worked

[Guest]

My son has asked me to make him a model of his truck, but he wants it as if it was made of bronze. So I dragged the elderly Airfix Harrier test object out and had an attempt. Painted it with Humbroz bronze and it looked a bit on the bright side so gave it a wash of greeny black which I don't think worked very well. Any Ideas would be welcome.


First two pics are the before wash and second two after. Needs a little bit of work (rather a lot really)

You could try a dry brush of bronze over the dark bits


Is it acrylic or enamel?


I found The enamel was a bit week but the acrylic was better for dry brush

Valejo "Game Colour" Brown Ink ......... Dry brushed over bright bronze / copper / dark brass ..... Gives a more antique look. I used it over "Copper" on my Vanship.........

I used a brass colour with black wash and then a green verdigris.
