Greetings, Squeaks! I'm afraid that there is no wizardry here.... I've never been able to master Non-metalic metals. What you see here is the Foundry Gold triad in all its glory. As these pieces are going to be handled, the gold paint has been applied BEFORE varnishing, hence it looks less shiny. On display pieces I always do metalic work AFTER varnishing so it shines. I also use gold and silver inks for added zing, but not on these chaps.
Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous command stand; a thing of beauty Sir!
ReplyDeleteLovely... this one has been on my "must-buy" list since they released it... now I see that vindicated!
ReplyDeleteReally superb work!

ReplyDeleteFantsstic painting on a historically questionable set.
ReplyDeleteQuick question Mark..what combo did you use as non metallic gold on epaulettes etc?
