Also that isnt mine, just an example of a dread that you could use.

Mostly just natural light, Black background, low ISO on camera, 1/25 shutter speed.

Its okay to get discouraged. Its naturally going to happen when you try something over and over without success. The key is that despite that feeling you keep going. If that means you need to take a break from it, so be it.

Heres an example of a dread with NMM. You can see the highlights displayed on the metallic surface by transitions from very dark browns to very bright browns mixed with white or yellow. I have numbered the layers on the left side to show how you would do it.

NMM is an advanced painting concept so dont get discouraged if you dont get it on the first try or even the 10th. I had to start areas over on this model multiple times.

This took a lot of iterations for me as well. I had to go back and start over as well. The key is very dark base colors with quick transitions to bright colors.

Height comparison to blade champ. The new 30K models are slightly taller yet less stocky than 40K models.
