Primer

First, a metallic primer is applied, using Hobby Paint Spray Metallic Gray 28.031.

Armor

A quick washis applied throughout the armor, using a mixture of Game Ink Skin Wash 72.093 and a pinch of Game Ink Black 72.094.

Game Ink Black 72.094 is used to paint other parts of the armor.

A quick dry brush is made over the entire armor using Model Color Gunmetal Grey70.863.

Weapon

The weapon is painted black, using Model Color Black 70.950

We edge highlight the weapon, using Model Color Neutral Grey 70.992.

All the edges and corners of the weapon are painted using Model Color White70.951

OSL effect – Lighting effect

Now we will start with a very fun part, the OSL or lighting effect . I want to thank Juan again ( The Miniaturist ) for the ideas and tips for this OSL. If you do not follow him yet, I recommend that you visit his profile, because he uploads very interesting content.

First of all, all the areas that we want to illuminate are painted using Model Color White 70.951.

Using the airbrushand highly diluted Game Air Dead White 72.701, paint the outer area of all the spots that we had previously painted white. It is important that the paint is very thin in this step, so it is recommended to use Thinner and even Flow Improver .

A mixtureof 2 parts of Game Ink Yellow 72.085 to 1 part of Game Ink Green 72.089 is made, and it is applied using the airbrush, striking the central part of the points of light.
