The metal plate already look awesome.
A killer combimation i have used in the past is the Vallejo Brass, once it is dry then i apply Vallejo Sepua wash and then i go over the most prominet areas with a mix of brass and gold.
But man, you have a winner there.

Hi Daniel

Thank you .....the piece is coming along nicely now ......shirt collar all dry so will start that once the hair is complete .....in between Mrs Nap dragging me out shopping !

Thanks for your info , no metallics on this but I do use a Citadel Contrast Snakebite leather ...in various strength washes

The plate is actually darker in reality .....pics have lightened it a bit more !

Thanks for looking in
