Adam Wilder I''m sure needs no introduction. In this, his first feature article of, I hope many for this site he explains how to achieve extremely realistic effects when modelling armour, using mainly pigments. Thanks Adam!

Thanks for this great article, full of loads of info. As a new member and someone who is returning to modelling after a 20 year break, I find these articles and forums a great boon. I myself have been using some pigments from CMK named 'star dust' you can see the interim effect on pics off my Tiger 1as yet unfinished in my album. Thanks again.

Great article! (I guess the others have already said that...) Would it be too much to ask to write more about the subject? It's one of the single most useful articles online. (Next to MIG's on missing-lynx.)
