- Tutorial - Painting True Metallic Metal (TMM)
by Jarhead from MASSIVE VOODOO
(both articles are quite interesting and very helpful as well)
For painting TMM, I used metallic colors from Vallejo Model Air & Model Color (Silver & Gun (VMA), Silver & Gunmetal Grey (VMC) and Citadel (Runefang Steel & Sycora Bronze) and used Dark Rust, Light Rust (Vallejo Panzer Aces) for the rusted area inside the shadow.
After it finished, the result wasn't good enough as I expected, especially the grains of the metallic looks a little bit too big and off the scale (when comparision to the others in those tutorials). Maybe it because I coated the whole mini with flat clear and it made the grains clearly visible. I'm still working on this technique and need more practice. :)
This mini is up for sale on ebay along with Eldar Farseer. If you are interested, please click the names below for the links to the auction :
