Hey folks, im trying a few new techniques and deffenantly need some feed back, mostly on my BAD atempt at blending on the light bulb, anyhoo il let the pics do the talking.

update, hows my bulb

The rust effects look about 60% there. Right now the black coloring of the building really makes the rust look weird. Perhaps grey/metal would look better?

It's looking nice, but I think it could do with a black wash and perhaps some metal chips with bolt gun metal.

The green looks good, though the rust is done much too thickly and blobbily. Use more coats of a much thinner brown. Dot the rivet, then once you have dotted a few and don't have so much paint on your brush, come back and pull the dot down the model.

The thing that I don't like about your colours though is the basic black of the building. To me a coppery finish would be better and fit in more with the green.

The brown is about 50:1 watet to.paint lol, it looks darker irl, and the green it a copper effect lol, how about the atempt at blending on the light?, its my 1st attempt at blending

Make the green look a bit more "industrialized".

Catachan or Camo green should do the trick
