This is my next painting technique to learn, I've a couple guides but both use completely different ways to acheive a similar effect! Any hints or tips would be very welcome!

Also my paint mixing sucks! Even with highlights I stick to the citadel range and use what they recommend to highlight on the website, so no mixing just a few pots. Because of this can anyone recommend a seris of citadel paints to look good and acheve my aim with no mixing?

TIA

Well, what colours are you working with and which do you want the glow to be?

looking for a blue glow as it's against red, the area I'm aiming for is within the booster area as if it's just about to kick in.

That looks the ticket, I assume by washing it means really thining the paint? and the colour and highlight, would that be adding a bit of white?

Thay's what I took it to mean.

What he means by washing was that he made a wash with the particular colors. Taking a bit of paint and thinning it heavily with water so that it runs everywhere. Though from the looks of it, he left it a little thicker than your typical pre-made wash. Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted a way to do these, but couldn't think of anything.
