Did you paint the armor silver and then use the wash or did you do some color of green and then apply the wash?

I really like the look of them.

Cheers

Cleanly painted metallics are one of my greatest problems. You've resolved this in a great manner. I'd like to join Tri3 in asking for your 'washing method'. Hm, sounds odd. ;)

Post by: Tri3 on June 20, 2008, 04:09:21 PM: Wow,

For some reason I am seeing green in your pictures, which is sort of weird if you didn't use it. Very cool. I will have to try your method out.

Here is a good article on the GW washes

Ha! I've got some of that gunmetal blue, but have never worked out a good use for it until now :D

Now all I need are some robots......
