Ardcoat

  • Matte varnish (I love Vallejo super matte)

Process

Airbrush

  • Nice acrylic black coat
  • Zenithal highlights with Vallejo Dark Green
  • Smaller areas of Vallejo Light Green
  • Even smaller areas of Vallejo Scorpy Green

At this point the model is super bright, way too bright

  • Coat of gloss varnish to protect the mini before the oil (matte will retain more stains, gloss will be cleaner)
  • Solid coat of black oil

Qtips

  • Use qtips and mineral spirit to remove most of the black oil, we really only want it in recesses

Airbrush

  • A coat of matte varnish

Paint brush

  • Edge highlights with Scorpy Green
  • Sharper edges and/or smaller sections with Vallejo German Yellow
  • Sharper edges and/or smaller sections with pure white
