Chest of Colors forum

A litlle update. I've tried nmm a second time yesterday (on the elbow and collar) and a third time today on the helmet. I think the helmet looks better than the rest. Don't pay any attention at the sword and armour. The sword looks like stone and the armour isn't finished yet.

How does it look? Any progress? Any comments??

imo Your nmm looks much smoother; also there is a progress
I always wanted to paint khorne's warrior in classic red armour... I'll do it when I'll have an opportunity

and You were absolutely right: this mini sucks

Crap, I've just noticed a red spot on the khorne symbol... and a huge moldline on the inside of the (let's say) horn :x

yeah it does, but it makes for a nice practice object. I rather mess up this mini than one that I like

to me your NMM has improved from your first pic, much smooter
i don't know if it is the photo, but in my opinion you should use more sharp highlighting with white
keep us updated!

I agree, the blending is much better, but I think the first piece you did looks more like metal than the mask. Highlight up to white, instead of up to yellow, otherwise you get this "yellow plastic" look. Don't be afraid to highlight using (almost) pure white

okidoki
I agree it looks too yellow. I'll will try to correct that tomorrow.

Ok I corrected the helmet a bit today (and got rid of those moldlines ). But I'm not satisfied about the colour. I can't seem to get the shine that makes it look like metal in it. So maybe anyone has any further pointers?

better put a pic so we all can judge...

what colors are you using exactly?
