Useing non metalic metalics (nmm) on D'elves

[NATOnazi]

I have been experimenting on nmm for the plate armor on the cold one

knights the executioners, and some characters. I have been starting off

with Leviathin grey from I-kore. (codex gray or the valleo equivilant would

bee the same) I have been mixing 50/50 leviathin grey(lvg) with acrilic

extender for a base coat. I then add Valleo white to achive a 70%

grey&extender to 30% white This I delute 50/50 with water. I paint this on

the ridges and then take a dry brush and, while the paint is still wet, use it

to blend, in long strokes, the colors. I then repeat this step with 60/40

grey/white, then 60/40 white/grey, then 70/30 white gray, and finaly 100%

white. Here is the kicker (although you might have already known this).

White, when mixed with a minute ammount of blue is brighter than pure

white in the northern hemisphere! So i mix 90/10 white Coraline blue( ice

or lightning blue or the valeo equivilant will work) and paint the final

highlight lines with this. I find that there is a definate brightness from the

blue-white as compared to the white. I dont mix the blue-white with water

and do not blend it with the brush. What do you think? If I could be told

how (and if) I can put pictures in my message I would gladly include an

example of the process and a sample of the finished product.

You can post them in the galary. Although I'm not sure how. Sounds good, but too complicated for me (I'm a bit on the unco side when it comes to painting)
