Hey, Patrick...thought I'd drop in to see the completed base...a fantastic piece, thru-and-thru! What paints/brands did you use for the metallics?

Bruce,
Thanks a lot...really enjoyed this figger and learned even more!
I use a mixture of Sinnelar and Testors for the lace work...What I do is undercoat with an acrylic and then apply a real thin oil base of gold ochre and gold metalics with some English Distilled Spirits and Liquin. Once that is dry, I'll wash in some depth with the base and a lil Mars Orange. Once the whole figger is dry, I'll apply three or four coats of dull coat and then with Testor's enamels, I'll apply the highlights...
Does that help?

Hope all is well

Patrick
