TMM Copper

[Captain927]

Hi All,

I'm looking for tips on how to paint and shade TMM copper. Looking for a well worn/used copper finish.

Thanks

different washes of red-brown are the way imho, but what really helps with it is the patina. For highlighting metallics... nothing beats adding metallic medium to the base color.
For that the best color would be different blue-greens/turqoise. But this part is pretty same as for NMM copper.

Thanks Maxx. I tried it out and i like the results. Thanks for weighing in.

I basically do the same as Maxx also have some scale 75 brass and copper metal colors. But I have not tried them out yet, If i do I still will use glazes of normal colors and inks to get more life into the final result.

Basically it was just zenithal prime white over black and do a layer of scale 75 chestnut ink and then some washes of caliban green, sybarite green and gauss blaster green.

Hope that helps

Thanks Zab. Nice tutorial for NMM. I'll keep it bookmarked.

For this case though I was looking for TMM.

Ah well, a while ago I did these copper details on my Ironstrider pilot in TMM...
