I was quite happy with the way the NMM turned out on this very, very nice figure by Stormtrooper Minis. It is satisfying to see progress after what feels figuratively like banging your head against a brick wall.

I forget who it was who said, "Most people don't appreciate how hard it is to write even a bad novel."

  1. Nicely done. The old masters did the same..I actually don’t like the effects of Kaenov and others- it’s way too strange a look for anything but chrome plate …your result looks natural…similar to how we did things with metal figures by polishing…

  2. Thank you for those very perceptive comments.

    I see this guy as something of a hired gun and not so much your knight-in-shining-armor type.

    That said, the shiny chrome effect does work conceptually for fantasy figures.

    FWIW, I love this black armor by Caravaggio.
