Question on Bronze

[ghamilt1]

Hi everyone;

I need a little advice. I want to do a bronze cuiraiss for Pegaso's 75mm Magister Militum. This is a larger figure and the cuiraiss is a prominant feature, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for doing up a convincing metallic bronze colour. I usually paint with humbrol enamels and artists oils. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for not getting back sooner guys, but I just wanted to drop a quick line to say thanks for the advice. I printed off a couple of the posts from those other threads, and have a pretty good idea of where I'd like to take this figure now. I'll be sure to post the results.

Does anyone remember the article about painting metals without using metallic paint?

Jim:
Try this link. Lou Masses did a couple of great articles on painting non-metallic metals.
