hey guys, just wanted to share this piece that i did. C&C appreciated

It looks pewter. Pretty neat as I have never seen that painted that way.

Any pointers as to how you did the metal effect? It looks great!

This was actually really easy to do..

i Just undercoated it with an Aluminium coloured spray i got down at the local hardware shop.

Then i got a very old thick brush, and got some Tin Bitz onto that brush, i then very lightly dabbed the paint on, gradually building the layers up. really simple.

It may be simple, but it's a great effect, I think I may have to steal this for my tabletop terrain when I get round to it!

Very effective as a metal finish. Good job.

It's not covered in rust! I like it. It's starting to feel like in the grim darkness of the future, there is only rust.
