How to Paint EASY Metallic Worn Armor FAST

8 0

Published 2021-06-30

This video covers easy techniques anyone can do, even those new to painting. I tried to use as few materials as possible and show how adding colors and techniques can slowly add character to your model. I often use these techniques when I want a model to be tabletop ready. The video focuses on silver metal that is not old/aged armor, rather worn from the field and dinged up. Depending on how many materials you have at your disposal and how much time you have to spend, you can do just the basic 3 steps or add the additional dings, scratches, and mud stains and still have a great, simple metallic for your model. It took me about 6 minutes to do this on the model itself, including cleaning the brush between, blending time, etc. Pretty dang easy! Happy painting!
