richard barby:

So with a big yank i have pulled my finger out and have finally started painting my old school tall hats chaos dwarfs. I made a huge mess of them when i was 11 and have not wanted to go anywhere near them for a long time but over the last 12 months(17 years later) i have painted up all my hobgoblins/goblins and i finally feel up to having a go at the chaos dwarfs.

Im happy with my warriors and and the bodys of the blunderbusses but i have issues with the blunderbuss its self im picking up a silver to give the guns a metalic look but im really stumped on when to do about the mouth of the guns i have tried yellow to tie in with the arrows on the hats and the strip on the side of the gun but it doesnt look very good any ideas ?

thanks Richard

I use gold and brass, so it still looks metallic but isn’t just silver.
