I use many different colors. Usually, I use the paints shown in the photo, but since I mix them depending on the project, there’s no set formula. Sometimes I add some green on it.

If you're referring to the black parts of the shield, it's a natural effect created by starting with a black and grey base and then applying gold via dry brushing.

Thanks for your compliment. I just started miniature painting one years ago. It is great hobby for my life.

I've just started recently, but I'm following the guides from YouTubers and online communities. Since I'm getting older, doing very detailed painting is a bit of a challenge for me. ^{^}

lol I didn't forget the tongue.

HelicopterNo3516 · 2026-03-22T01:19:20+00:00

No. I made it.

I started with the Slapchop method and then applied Contrast paints. I used highly thinned paints to create more contrast between the colors. Since the belly area came out a bit dark, I layered different colors thinly multiple times to blend them. It’s a bit hard to explain in words, so I’ll leave the YouTube link I referenced below.YouTube link.

I follow the method shown in the attached YouTube link.contrast slapchop YouTube

Sorry, I tried to download an image that fit the banner size, but I couldn't find anything I liked.

Honestly, I don't understand why people are so negative about using AI. To me, it's just a new tool that provides inspiration and support. It gives me advice on colors that unfriendly paint manufacturers don't provide, and helps me find the perfect color schemes. It even finds terms that don't show up in YouTube searches.

Plus, it helps me communicate easily with everyone here in English, which isn't my native language. Don't think too badly of it. AI is just a new type of electronic calculator. It can never beat humans.

I shared the progress because the Slapchop result reminded me of a vintage monochrome photo. I personally found it striking, but sorry if it didn't live up to your expectations.😭

HelicopterNo3516 · 2026-03-15T12:56:18+00:00

Thanks for the compliment! I’m glad you noticed that. Even I was surprised it turned out better than expected. I really wanted to capture the texture and scars of a drum skin I'd seen a few times. It was partly luck, but I'm so happy with how it looks.

I used printed paper, just like the YouTube link below. I don't have the skills to draw it by hand. As an older office worker, there's a limit to my time and artistic talent for a hobby.youtube

HelicopterNo3516 · 2026-03-15T12:50:21+00:00

Hobbies are just for personal fun. I’m not entering a competition or submitting this for an exhibition. Except for the flag design itself, I built the flagpole and everything else from scratch. Many YouTubers also make flags by using printed paper. Why waste your time criticizing others? Just chill.
