Be prepared to get annoyed... Lots.
NMM is a pain
SE-NMM is a double pain lol

Tbh, Grey NMMs (Iron, steel, silver, etc) isn\'t to bad, but coloured metals like gold and copper are a right :cussing:

Good luck!!! :beer:

What Dan said...........

One of the biggest factors in weather NMM or SENMM work is the smoothness of the blending. Something that is hard for me but I\'m getting it.

For me (and I am newish to NMM as well), the trick with gold NMM is not to use any yellow at all. I use GW Snakebite leather and Vallejo MOdel Color Ivory. The SB leather is dark enough that it contrasts very well with the Ivory. If I want a more muted color out of it, I would use bleached bone or even maybe komando khaki (though I haven\'t tried the latter).

Desert yellow isn\'t bad colour either.

I use Reaper\'s Ruddy Leather and Sunlight yellow... then some of GW\'s Skull White. I like to mix paint quite a bit but here lately, I\'ve added in Chestnut Gold from (Reaper as well) as it\'s a nice mid color.

I am decent at NMM gold but silver on the other hand...egh
