Thanks guys for your nice comments. Joe , here's the mix for the jacket. BTW the figure is all acrylics. I will only be using some printers' inks on the sabre.
Base: 2pts. AC38 + 1pt. AV857
H/L : base + AV953 + AV837
L/L : AC38
L/L/L : shadow + black 950
AC stands for Andrea color
AV stands for vallejo
I have to admit that I experimented a bit on the gold lacing. I'm quite happy with the result. The objective was to go for a dull and gloomy gold and in fact there's only a hint of metallic paint in the mix. All the rest are yellowish colours. The fact that I shadowed with darker browns than usual helped in obtaining what I was looking for.
