Jess: Pedal to the Metal

I decided to paint all the metals (including the base) in one go, to save a bit of time (and space in this article).

Metal Step 1

Silver

Basecoat of 1-part Chaos Black and 2-parts (VGC) Gunmetal Metal.

Bronze

Basecoat of 1 part Chaos Black and 2 parts (VGC) Tinny Tin.

Metal Step 2

Silver

First highlight using (VGC) Chainmail.

Bronze

First highlight using a 50/50 mix of Tinny Tin and (VGC) Brassy Brass.

Metal Step 3

Silver

I gave it several thin washes of (VMC) Smoke, allowing each layer to dry before appling the next.

Bronze

Second highlight using Brassy Brass.

Metal Step 4

Silver

I decided to add some rust, so I began with some patches of (Games Workshop) Dark Flesh.

Bronze

For a tarnished look, I began with some patches of (VGC) Jade Green.

Metal Step 5

Silver

I stippled over the Dark Flesh with some (VGC) Hot Orange, then some (VGC) Orange Fire.

Bronze

I applied a wash of (VMC) Verdigris over the Jade Green.
