freehand - follow the link

and weathering means applying effects of damage, weather, age, etc. on your models to make them look more realistic.

My favourite mini artist is back

Can i ask i saw u used different colours of basing the shield (white and blue i believe) before applying the colour(s) for nmm gold.

Did u just use snakebite or did u also use other colours; and did u wash it in to get the highlight effect with the white and blue undercoat or did u blend other colours in later??

Want to give your technique a try; any suggestions before i try???

Again welcome back!!!!
