Woah! That is some nice painting; very smooth indeed.

I've exchanged a few e-mails with Alan at Modelmates and the new verdi gris hasn't been released to stockists yet, however a pot is on its way so I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Can you provide me with email as I failed to buy any at SALUTE, and having been kicking myself since then. Thanks

Thanks Andy, great tutorial!

Step7-job done. Step back. Have beer. Admire work!

My favourite bit 

Thanks for the help with the colours Mason, will look those up.

I agree with the aforementioned suggestions, of course.

If you want an effect like the original photo, maybe some stipling with turquoise and dark 'brown' metallics (like the OOP Citadel Tin Bitz and others) might do the trick for the transitions between the oxidated and 'bare' areas.

Very nice effect by the way  Mason. That looks pretty accurate to me.

I completely agree. The statue looks excellent!
