Not a great pciture, but good enough to see. (And yes, that\'s damage on the left, a shoulder pad shall cover it)

Thought I\'d have a bash at this NMM malarky after discovering the technique shortly after this site itself. :)

Been through a lot of threads and guides and settled upon the Magmatrax one, (Aim high, eh? ;)) using snakebite instead of leprous, and got cracking.... for the above result sadly. =/

Middle part around the speaker was just the first test and will be covered by the gun eventually so no worries there but still bothered about the top, seems lacking something. Perhaps an even lighter shade of yellow, closer to white, above the horizon and on the extreme edge highlights? Perhaps a colder yellow entirely? Could even go for a different method but fancy giving this one a few shots before that.

Learning experience still, but I\'d hope some input would save a test mini or two (or 10, or 14 like damned pink took ;))

Cheers.

Actually, it\'s pretty good. The only advice I have for you is to work up the yellow to almost pure white just at the horizon. Keep it up! :)

Very good work.
Maybe a little bit to yellow. Agree with AinuLainour regarding the white on the horizon. As well some reflection points on the Gold would be good. Practice makes perfect. :-D

its gold senmm right? I must say it looks very realistic. I do agree with arkzein about the final highlight though, even if it\'s just a minor touch up, it\'s very important to make it look convincing. I still have to try SENMM and source lightning :p At the moment i\'m just painting regular nmm, so i envy you! Great work! :beer:

Thanks all, seems my inklings have been confirmed here and a few other places so I\'ll get cracking and finish out the test whenever I get some free time. I\'ll Be glad if it works out since I\'ve never gotten metalics to look decent, be great to be shot of them. ;)

Cheers.
