Hulk Buster and Iron Man - Part 1
The plan for these models was to give non-metallic metal a try again. I’ve done it once or twice before on parts of some models.
After sitting and staring at the model for an entire painting session, I decided that was a bonkers idea. The Hulk Buster in particular is a very big model and on both models there are lots of complicated shapes that I don’t even know how to begin painting in non-metallic metal.
Therefore I decided to go with conventional metallic paints to be coloured with inks and glazes.
So I ensured the undercoat was a good solid abaddon black. Then the model was base coated leadbelcher, then dry brushed ironbreaker followed by runefang steel. It took about half an hour whereas I’m sure non-metallic metal would have taken many painting sessions.
