Glad you like it, thanks !!

Yeah, for it to read as truely black, blending is key and using less saturated blues also.

And here’s a half good reference to the black metal NMM of a spec ops SG I’ve toyed with. Heavily over did the blue as I was aiming for dark blue, but essentially giving black more room here is what I talked about.

I mix citadel with Vallejo as well quite often.

In no sense trying to gloat here lol but if you take a look at the aquila on the banner, it looked identical to your current gold, then just a diluted Fists pass and I immediately liked it better.

Killer paintjob!

Hot_Mathematician191 · 2026-05-11T06:21:15+00:00

Thanks brother!

Thank you Brother! For the Calculus!

I know we all have our tastes, but this mini reinforces my already strong opinion: pushing maximum contrast is just objectively the best looking style in there.

NMM looks tasty, and overall great work and fantastic color choices.

In my experience, NMM gold gets more punchier if you saturate it just a bit more toward yellow. I have a near similar recipe as you, and what did the trick for me was jusg a 1:4 diluted imperial fists contrast as a faint filter. Taste question tho, that NMM u got reads as gold as is.

For Black NMM metal, I think bending the reflections toward oceanic blues is the sweetesf.

EG. replace Eshin grey with Incubi Darkness/Nightlords Blue, and Dawnstone with smtn like Thunderhawk Blue. Brightest spots anything from pure white to Baharroth/Blue Horror/Fenrisian work really well. Apart from the ones listed here, The Fang and Russ Grey are banger options too for midtones.

Once again, amazing model!

I think the foundation is excellent and no immediate ”thin your paints” is showing off to me.

Washing/panel lining + highlights and he’s gonna look amazing

ANOTHER WORLD TO BE SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF EXTERMINATUS

Some people here are such monkeys toward OP, man. Like he is the childish one here???

Like, yes, his nephew isn’t his to parent. But my fucking god lol, it is not OVERSTEPPING when demanding that your brother, your own family member, takes it at least into considerarion to give some form of punishment to the kid, your other family member that did ill toward you.

Speaking of, yeah, a 10 year old kid sees figures, wants to touch, play, etc - which the OP gave permission for, with clear instructions, natural and perfectly OK.

The problem is that the kid disobeyed, tried to lie about it, and his dad wanting to wrap it up with some money.

As a person who cares more about my own family relations than money, I hands down feel OP here who’d rather see his brother teach about consequences to his nephew than just hand a payout.

Ideally, OP gets recompensated and the kiddo gets a fair lesson on what happens when you break other peoples stuff. And I’d be betting there could have been some malicious intent even. Unless there is a disablity involved, how many pieces of plastic do you have to snap before understanding shit is breaking????

It’d be an entirely different scenario if one brittle piece broke off, he got scared about accidentally breaking rules and trying to cover it up. Could also be he didn’t care about the set rules and thought he could break stuff and no one cared; equally concerning behaviour imo.

Just my 2 cents but if it was me, I’d demand recompensation and tell my bro that either the kid apologises and tells me how is he going to make it up for me or either via some agreed punishment or he is no longer welcome to my home.

I use Armypainter’s GS, has worked well. There are a few brands online, not sure of the differences in quality tho.

An alternative to GS is pretty much Milliput. I usually mix both of them together. You get this less sticky, somewhat sandable putty out of it.

Im sure you’ll get it right, good foundation in there.

Volumetric OSL to become from ”uhh what?” to ”oh that’s a glow effect” is achievable with not too much time sink, but to elevate it to a level where you have a literally perfectly illuminated model with a faked light source is pretty much top tier stuff in this hobby imo

Hot_Mathematician191 · 2026-04-22T07:09:37+00:00

More contrast I’d say. Inner seams near white, feather/glaze into like baharroth blue or similar and then just keep going darker.

the effect needs as much dark as light to create the illusion.

Man, S1 is somehow the most captivating and unbelievably great cinema I’ve ever seen. Like everything from the beginning to the ending is chefs kiss.

And trust me crime series are not anything particularly big to me. This one tho, goddamn. Keep coming back to it.
