That's some nice chainmail painting there Costas. I can i see this excellent sculpted figured turned into a beauty when you finish it.
Keep up the hard work (that i know you are putting into it).

Hi guyes and thanks a lot for commenting .
As for the chain mail:

i have used as a base coat a mix 0f gloss black - titanium paint in 2 coats. Then i did a homogenouus light drybrushing with a mix of steel - silver paint . Printers inks are taking on the highlights and 2 washes with black and mix 0f black - burnt umber oils. Wherever the highs are covered will repeat with printers ink (silver)
