Sigur Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Heyhey, I just finished those for a customer. Vulkan He'Stan and Chaplain Xavier. This was the third time for me painting Vulkan. However, first time I did the finecast version and first time I did him in NMM: http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/bothdone1.jpgVulkan:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/vulk4.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/vulk5.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/vulk6.jpgXavier:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/x1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/x5.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/x7.jpg...here's a shot of the two in front of a white background as well:http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/bothdonewhiteschrift1.jpg Hope you like them!

Sigur Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 @Black_out: Thanks very much. Well, you can always hire some paintmonkey to do the NMM'ing for you. ;) @SickSix: Cheers! @Noctem Cultor: Thank you. :) It was pretty cool painting old Xavier for once.

BlueBelly1863 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 These models look fantastic! However, I must admit my ignorance/reveal my mediocre painting knowledge: what does NMM stand for?

Black_out Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 These models look fantastic! However, I must admit my ignorance/reveal my mediocre painting knowledge: what does NMM stand for? Non metal metallic. Pretty much making things look like metal without actually using any paint that is a metallic. And I wish I could do it.

Sigur Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I see both versions all the time, but I believe "Non Metallic Metal" makes more sense. But anyway. :) It's not that hard once you figured out a bunch of colours and a recipe. The tricky thing is when to stop actually. It's a bit like weathering on AFVs. And it takes very long, because it has to be done proper or rather not at all. But as with all things paintnig it's about sitting down and practicing it until you get satisfactory results. It's really late and I'd only get in a major rant about painting tutorials (especially in video form) and certain mindsets and ultimately "kids these days", so I'll just leave it at that. :D Either way, thanks very much for the comment, BlueBelly1863!
