I’d like to give this a try as the result looked quite pleasing. Trouble is I don’t have the need to paint copper.
I was planning on some Greek Hoplites soon which would be Bronze which I think goes green when tarnished.
It can be the exact same treatment, except you don’t use copper, but bronze colours…
Such as Bronze (175 Model Colour, for shadows), Brassy brass (720058, Game Color, for the intermediary tone) and Bright Bronze (72057, Game Color, for highlight) with perhaps a tinge of aluminium (71062 Model Air, on the very top). These are the Vallejo colours, but every brand has an equivalent…
There’s about a dozen ways I know of to so rust and verdigris, and a hundred different ways to do metals. If you’re lucky, I’ll do them all in tutorials !
Thanks for the advice
How about a new take on chainmail other than drybrush? I’ve had to paint lots of that over the years.
I think I’ll do different types of chainmail with washes in tutorials, if I have the time… including NMM chainmail, which confuses people somehow (for reasons unknown to me… I mean, it’s much like any other type of NMM, except there’s holes in it).
I’d also like to show the old Rackham recipe for NMM armor… I haven’t used that in ages, this really takes me back !
We’ll see what can be done.
Nice to know there are plenty more tutorials in the pipeline.
Always fascinated by different ways of doing NMM!
This is TMP, but yes… I’ll do more NMM tutorials in the future !
