Vegello Metalic Medium...How to use

[beowulfthehunter]

Ok, even though I have been painting for a while now I have a stupid question. I have picked up vellgeo\'s metalic medium. How do I use it? I thought of mixing it with a paint but I am not sure.

Any tips or uses would be great.

Hmm do you mean Vallejo ?

Mix it 50/50 with any color.. i use it as a final highlight sometimes.. because its brighter than mithril silver.

I have it as well. Sonny hit it right on the head. mix it with colors or add as a final highlight.

Vallejo Metallic Medium...How to use

With care.

You can mix it with standard chromatic paints and you will get a much lighter metallic version, which can look stunning.

Or use it as a final highlight on metallic paint, ie like the \"Flare\" on Nmm.

Interesting... is there another substance called VMC steel?

Hey Bill,
there are 2 metallic colors:
VMC 865 Oily Steel
VMC 864 Natural Steel

Thanks I\'m just going to check your eBay shop.. I need to get an account now that I have a credit card :] Is Natural Steel brighter? Romain also mentioned that he used PA air steel as a final highlight on his marine:

Could you tell me about that please?

Thanks

Well I can\'t tell you about PA air steel as I have no idea what it is, but I can tell you that those Mettalics on the Marine are stunning.

They are indeed He looks a bit cross-eyed from that angle, but that is one of my favourite models ever! Go Romain
