Thank guys is nice to ear you, as allways.
Colin the epauletes where my favorite part of the figure, the uper part is true metal colors (acrlic valejo) and the fringes are made of normal matt colors with higlights and shadows, then I've passed a very thin and controled wash of "old gold" Vallejo. I 've spend 5 years in the Portuguese Marines and I had saw manytimes these kind of item, I believe these tecnique is very close to the real stuff.
