What kind of technic do you use to make the armor and paint ref ? thanx
Thanks.
The plate armor is simply two successive drybrushes of silver on black primer. I have an old Miniature Paints silver, which is kinda mid-silver. That went on with a heavy drybrush and then I used Foundry silver highlight in a light drybrush for final highlights -- though you could skip that step, it's not all that prominent.
Do that first because it's messy and then fill in the rest of the colors.
I've basically given up on trying to do 3-color the metallics. I'm ok with it for skin and cloth, but the metals never turn out right.
The studded armor on one of the dogs is rather tedious to do but not really that hard. Paint it all leathery brown, wash with sepia and after it's dry, put a small black dot on each stud, then go back and put a slightly smaller silver dot on each stud. You don't have to be super neat, small mistakes don't matter but I find that without the black base there's not enough contrast for the studs to show up.
