Norm, thanks.
In my opinion if you already have metal why replicate it with paints.

The armor :

1- a) Brushed the armor with a swuede brush.

Burnished the armor 000 steel wool.

c} Washed it with warm water and Ivory dishwashing detergent,make sure you
you rinse well.

d} gave the the armor numerous controlled washes of Ivory black mixed
with turps.

e} When dry I burnished the extreme highlight points with the end of a knitting
needle.
f} weathered the bottom half of the armor with a wash of raw Umber. Did not
apply sealer beacause I wanted a tarnished look.


Cheers
Roc.

That's a beauty, Roc. This is a great sculpt and you've done a very nice job of it. I really like the armor, and of course, the wings.

Great work!
