ToMaZ, I see you paint again! Woo hoo! Few things could make me happier!
And although the fantasy guy is ugly, the Infinity model is really nice. Now go enjoy painting it!

I'd go with highlights to white... if you're not doing weathering, I think SF armour should have that clean, shiny look with strong light reflexes.ToMaZ wrote:Thanks for the replies guys. I started by pushing the highlights a bit using Vallejo Ivory. But I don't know if it really shows on the pictures.
So far I like it, but I'm thinking about making some shadows a bit darker when the rest is completed.
then you will see if darker shadows are necessary.

Re: Tomaz's WIP's
Again a little update:
I painted the torso + back area today. I then I decided to do one of the shoulders sanguine, shaded it, highlighted it and I didn't like it. I changed it to blue...repeated the shading and highlighting nonsense and again me no gusta...
Then I came to the conclusion that I'm an idiot, stripped of the paint and basecoated it again in the original colour.

First, it often ends up looking a bit chalky. Second, it might end up looking chalky.

I don't really like the 'factory fresh' look but I understand what you mean. Two little doubts that I have about going up to white is;Nameless wrote: I'd go with highlights to white... if you're not doing weathering, I think SF armour should have that clean, shiny look with strong light reflexes.
