Added 2024-07-18 16:55:27 +0000 UTCHey lovely bunch,
I've modelled this little treasure chest for my daughter and printed it out and now I'm starting to paint it.
I'm looking for tips/ideas on best way to weather it and make the metal look..... well like metal!
So anyone with mad skillz out there, let me know so I can hound and stalk you for all your knowledge!!🎨⚔️

I use metallic paints, then apply a dark Citadel shade, then drybrush the highlights with a lighter metallic to brighten the ridges

2024-07-22 17:06:39 +0000 UTCI've heard great stuff about Vallejo metallic paints. I use Molotow Liquid Chrome which is almost like a mirror - they also have a liquid gold that has similar shine. Once you have the metal laid down, a wash of brown ink or yellow varnish will help to bed in the colour, and make it look old.

2024-07-20 05:12:51 +0000 UTCTrue metal by AK gives some great finishes if primed with a black primer, it goes on Matt and can be buffed after 10-15 mins to give a nice finish. I found that YouTube turns into a rabbit hole as there's 1000's of different methods and too many talented hobbyists out there making me spend my money..... I'll use it eventually is what I constantly tell myself!
