It just looks like simple layers with a few glazes to dull down the main parts. I do t use the new range of GW paints but I would look to base with a yellow brown colour. Apply a mid tone gold all over the gold area. Now lighten the gold with adding silver to the mix and apply on the raised areas only. Use pure silver to the very extremes. Now use a thin brown paint and apply thin coats and glazes to the middle of each strip of gold so the outside edges and highlighted only. Continue to darken as you wish. Add a tip of black into the deepest areas. That's a basic run through, there are many more things you can do like adding green glazes to make the gold look older / weathered. Or if your feeling adventurous then try this from my blog. http://mallysminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/ ... -gold.html |

Thank you very much, that's really helpful. I'm Vallejo anyway so GW paints wouldn't help me much. I have indeed read through your tutorial soon after you wrote it, but I think I may start with something a little simpler... Something to build up to! I also found this thread. Some fantastic painting of both orcs and elves. Unfortunately I can't read the language (Polish?). If anyone can, do they fancy checking if there is any advice/tutorial given in the elves section about halfway down? It would be much appreciated!! http://www.mitril.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14317 |

If your Vallejo then base with something like beastly brown of flat earth. Apply some Old Gold. You can choose to leave the base visible in the joins, like a black lining but with brown. Add silver to the old gold and start to apply toward the edges only. Work this to pure silver which should be a very small area, even just a dot, on the very edge. If you have it, then apply some pure metal medium as your final highlight. You can now experiment with some glazes, basically a wash sort of consistency but with next to no paint on the brush. Glaze some smoke into the shade, don't touch the highlights. USA Olive Drab is a good saturated green to apply into the shades as well. As its a cold colour it will add contrast. Just dont be afraid to try out some colours for variation. Reds, blues, purples, greens, browns, yellows, oranges - I have used them all when doing metal A quick rust for example, dab on pure beasty brown then as a highlight apply orange, just stippled on the highest points. Don't water these down as it provides a little bit of texture to the surface and voila, you have rust. |

Thank you for such a comprehensive description. I shall hopefully have a go. That's a lot of steps to get right though... anything could happen with my painting! |
