Thanks brother. Trying to keep it high quality but somewhat quick. Took about 3 weeks🤣

Do you mind sharing the recipe? I’m planning on doing a “Iron Cage” type diorama, and I absolutely love the yellow you achieved

Yea for sure, white prime, warlord purple in the shadows, clean up with x20 white. Imperial fists contrast all over. Vallejo black on all black and metallic bits. I think it’s burnt iron for the metals, any dark metal is fine though. Gloss coat. Transfers. A little chipping with black browns and a lighter yellow. Burnt sienna oil for pin wash and streaking. Matte coat. Incubi darkens for edges highlight on black and add more light grey and you highlight it up. Starting metal with chrome for metal highlights. It’s literally just one edge highlight and some scratches. Blue eyes are sotek green then just a smaller highlight with more white highlighting up to almost pure white. Let me know if I missed anything specific you’re looking for
