I always wanted to do this so here goes!!!

Here's the base coats

Here's the test on the foot to see if I like it

**Talys**

Cool! That is awesome.

**kb_lock**

You dudes that can make brown look like gold are literal alchemists

**Darth Bob**

The foot test is phenomenal. It should be beautiful when implemented on the whole model.

**Tommie Soule**

I pushed on with the leg

**oadie**

But... But... None of those paints were gold. I smell witchcraft! UK Dakkanauts, put Tommie Soule to the torch so I can feel better about my mediocre skills. I mean, because he consorts with the devil! Let him finish first, though, so... umm... yeah! So his heresy is fully brought to light!

**Darth Bob**

Coming along nicely. I'd love to see a step by step tutorial, if possible!

**Warushi**

Looking very good so far and like Darth Bob said, any tutorial or pointers you have that you've used to achieve such effects are welcome.

I don't think there's anybody on this site who would turn down that

**l33tninj4**

It's shaping up nicely, has a very comic book feel to it. (in a good way)

**Skits**

Looking awesome so far! I'd love to see a step by step of how you're doing the NMM - what colours you're using, etc.

Keep it up!

**kb305**

looking good. just the rest of that leg, the other leg, the torso, the arms, the sword, the details on the sword, the face, the cloak, the other details, the other other details, some other details, some more details... AND youre done!

Youre almost there!

also i would like to buy this, i have a tournament on the 22nd, can you have it out to me by then?
I can offer you double the cost of this model (i hope you found it cheap somewhere), half a box of space marines, a dante (broken), a marneus calgar (broken) and a mostly used up pot of altdorf guard blue.

**Tommie Soule**

Got the upper thigh done.

Still I think i need to tweak some bits here and there before I finish it and do a tutorial

I did a simple NMM guide for you guys of all the hobby community

HERE BE THE GUIDE

**Norn King**

Wow..

**Desubot**

OMG yes i need to do this soon for me DP thank you

Edit: Oh wait master class lessons in Manchester? Well balls im out. gona need to dissect the ways you did it by them pictures :(

**TheDraconicLord**

That's fething heresy, there's no other way to explain how those colors become one of best looking gold I have ever seen.

**Aardvark**

No more teasing -.- FINISH IT! Struggling to contain myself :3

**Tommie Soule**

I got the next leg half done now.
You may also have noticed the feet are different. This is because i was undecided about the first foot i did and i think the second foot wins.
What do you think?

**Darth Bob**

The second foot looks like a much deeper, older gold. I think both look great but I do prefer the second one.

**granander**

This is just jawdropping!

**TheDraconicLord**

Second one wins IMO

**Inflatable love badger**

That's beautiful, can't wait to see how the rest fills out. Did you have to sell your soul to anyone in particular first?

**Kelly502**

Yes, I agree very nice work, it's like a strip tease but with a figure... keep posting! lol

**eohall**

I like the first better, but purely out of preference for the pale gold tone. They're equally (absurdly) well-executed

**dracpanzer**

Second looks better, the brake in colors on the first makes my eye think there is a bend there that isn't.

Outstanding and inspiring work, keep it up!

**bubber**

How do you figure out where to put the light & dark? That's what's always stumped me!
Great so far. & I actually prefer foot #1 btw.

**purerockfury**

That is some mind blowing skill. I can't even make gold paint look like gold.

I wish I could afford to hire a miniature painting teacher.

**Norn King**

Simply mind-blowing.

**jabbakahut**

I love NMM and this is looking great.

Cool! You could make her look better by giving the whole model a wash using Agrax Earthshade.

When I first wrote that message, only the original image was up -- there were no NMM effects yet, not even the second pic with the first foot. The model is fantastic! Can't wait to see it finished.
