Here's my first video tutorial on NMM / crystal sword:

This is my own version using a clamp and a piece of cardboard to do the work instead of using masking tapes.

Thanks to Les from APJ for the initial idea

Enjoy

Can't be viewed in the USA I guess?

**nuclealosaur**

You're right, apparently it can't be viewed in many countries.
I audio swapped it and it's still in progress so it should be OK soon.

Thanks for the heads up

Cheers

Just viewed it again, and watched the whole thing. Great tutorial with easy steps and an amazing finished product. Good job!

**Bizmo**

Well done. I'd love to try this, but my units never have shiny weapons. Someday.

**nuclealosaur**

Thanks - I converted all of my Spacewolves to hold some sort of blade just so that I can go crazy on this.

**Destrado**

Great tutorial, thanks!

I'm not sure if you a spray gun will work with this pattern - doubtless it'd work for top/bottom shade pattern though.

Let me know of the result!

What where you using in the tutorial then?

Brilliant Nuclealosaur. Totally using this.

Where abouts in NZ are you? (Just a general region is fine, not trying to stalk you ^_^)
