To add some more depth to my golds I typically use Secret Weapon Miniatures' Amethyst wash in select areas, and if I'm really pushing depth, I'll put on a few thinned layers of a mix of VGC Charred Brown and AP Matt Black, again in select areas. Hope that helps.davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-86095622614282121172015-01-22T06:00:41.297-08:002015-01-22T06:00:41.297-08:00Thanks, mate!Thanks, mate!davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-17756687392689749582015-01-22T06:00:28.406-08:002015-01-22T06:00:28.406-08:00Thanks for that : )Thanks for that : )davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-33744422253783848922015-01-22T05:59:46.491-08:002015-01-22T05:59:46.491-08:00Thanks, Crosser.

The contrast between the deep blue grey and dark brown shades on the gold against the bright gold looks excellent. The model is so busy with detailing I don't think it needs more defined shades and highlights. The red and blue squad markings on the tank really work with the colour scheme and the red ties it in well with the Vostroyans and their scheme. Also love the Thudd guns, done gushing, looking forward to seeing more of these guys as you go!Crosser Modellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931376286941189265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-15563992356809690892015-01-21T14:45:20.422-08:002015-01-21T14:45:20.422-08:00I wish my cut corners looked that good. :)I wish my cut corners looked that good. :)John Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-13217747055391729192015-01-21T13:14:17.088-08:002015-01-21T13:14:17.088-08:00Very nice looking model.

I've let the physical model do most of the work because it's heavily textured, but there's a lot more depth I could add with careful placement of additional washes and strategic highlights. The gold trim and side panels need the most additional work.davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-7427471861605365662015-01-21T11:33:37.496-08:002015-01-21T11:33:37.496-08:00Thanks GG!Thanks GG!davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-8497715546251033732015-01-21T11:14:13.079-08:002015-01-21T11:14:13.079-08:00I'm curious, what corners do you feel you'...I'm curious, what corners do you feel you've cut?

There's about a 1mm difference between external widths at the top and bottom. The plate with the lascannons is off a little too, it's magnetized and I must have bumped it before I took the shot. I think that might add to the illusion of excessive angling too.<br />davetaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137502467601937229noreply@blogger.com
