Silver Lace?

[ghamilt1]

Hi Everyone;

I need a little help with my latest project. I picked up Pegaso's Officer of the 12th Regiment of Light Calvary, 1805 in 75 mm. The painting guide calls for silver lace, and rather than popping open my tin of Humbrol silver paint, I wanted to see if there was a better way of painting silver lace. I usually use Humbrol enamels and artist's oil paint if that's any help.

So....does anyone have any suggestions, or is there a SBS posting that I missed out on? Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

Glenn

Glenn,

Check out the website of Lou Masses. He has a great article on painting silver and gold lace. Its located on his tips and tricks page.

Thanks Matt. That's the ticket exactly! I'm going to give this a try and get back to you on how it turned out.

Glenn,

Great! Glad to help. I have the same Pegaso figure and am looking forward to starting him soon. Please post some pics of yours when you can.

Good luck!
