Working on a Pompey the Great figure and I wanted to paint his cuirass silver. Any suggestions? I love my Vallejos but am hesitating using the silver color. Want to get a rich silver color worthy of a counsel of Rome.

Hi There
I sometimes use a silver ink, if you get hold of it usually from a printers
It gives a bright silver tone and can be shaded and highlighted with oils
It comes like honey and I use white spirit to thin it down before applying it
A modern art shop would probably stock it as well
Hope this helps
Cheers

Thnx
Great thanx John.
Anyone have suggestions on what sort of gap filler you use on metal figures?

If the figure is metal, you could try polishing the cuirass, then sealing it. You can also purchase metalizer paints in various shades at your hobby shop. These require airbrushing and sealing.
Regular hobby putty works on metal figures.
