Chest of Colors forum

Okay, I've been painting a Nurgle Champion on and off for a few months now. His armour had been done with washes of green, purple and brown to get an old look feel.

Now I've overdid it maybe a bit with re-blending it to a lighter metal colour and finally with Tamiya smoke. Ik know the gloss will go away after a coat with Testors.

Now on to my real question. Do you go back on the subtle colours afterwards by washing the armour with a very diluted wash? (in my case of the aformentioned green, purple and brown?) I figured it would bring the colours back again a bit or might I be wrong?

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say as I found it difficult to explain what I mean...

Love to help u, but I am not sure what exactly you are talking about. Are you saying that after u put some thin wash, will the armour with metallic paint go more subtle? May be a pic of before and after will help?

No, I'm hoping that a thin wash would bring out the previous wash colours again.
