Morning folks,
Throwing this out there as am need ing a bit of help with something. Am wanting to paint some armour panels up with a white/cream faux marble pattern. Have been researching and experimenting like a lunatic but so far have come up a bit short. There's a few ok~ish tutorials on YouTube but nothing great that I could find.
So folks - does anyone have any good advice/tips/techniques/tutorials/magic/insight they could pass on about painting some realistic looking marble. I'm gonna be doing a white/cream coloured marble but anything on marble in general would REALLY be appreciated. Thanks a million

nothing guys??

I tried one. It came out poorly. I don’t have any links for the resources I used at the time.

I just filed it under “techniques for those with more skills then I” and moved on.

Yeah - tis a tricky one. Found some stuff here n there. lot of it is for green marble. There was one wicked perfect marble base for a fig which also had a tutorial but.....the bloody website where it is is defunct and nothing comes up >< I'll get there....somehow.....hopefully lol
