the plates on the legs as well as the arm plates. The bands on the arms are not a problem and the arm plate could simply have a straight highlight but the leg plates are what confuse me a bit. would i paint a straight line through the plate somewhere or a line in between each of the chaos symbols arrows? i can't imagine light would work that way but thats kinda how you paint other colors]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685760/8557633.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685760/8557633.page GMT How would you paint these pieces NMM
I guess I'd tackle it by figuring out the reflection on the overall panel, then the reflection off each edge and crevice, then blend them together with curving lines.

Or I'd just spray it with Alclad and see where the light falls naturally, take a photo and try and replicate it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685760/8557753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685760/8557753.page GMT How would you paint these pieces NMM

Ummm, I guess it depends where you're going to place your light source and observer location and if you want to have a visible horizon. Each convex and concave surface is capable of reflecting the light source and the horizon, but the intensity is going to depend on orientation to the light source.

For example, if you wanted to paint a NMM Saurus, you could use the images below as a guide as it's painted with a highly reflective metallic (though my "horizon" is somewhat corrupted by gumtrees ).

But I think people usually want "artistic" when they do NMM rather than "realistic", so it's probably not that useful.
