Hi

This is my first project using airbrushed colour shift paint. I’m after some advice on highlighting. Although I don’t think it needs much some highlighting around the tops of the shin pads and maybe on the shoes might look good. What would you recommend, something like stormhost silver or should I bode my time and make/find some matching metallic paints?

The first pic is taken under a warm light which had made the colours slightly different than to the eye and the second 2 under a colder light. Obviously the colour has shifted so I’m not sure how a night would impact the colour shift. Has anyone tried this

Yeah I have, stormhost will highlight just fine and give a nice crisp edge. I'd suggest that you get it right first time though, or build them up gradually, as any bulges of paint that you try to paint over will show in the colour shift.

He's looking good so far!
