Wow, great job(y). That 3D etching is going to add alot of character to it after it's painted.
I'll be interested to know what color scheme you plan to use for such and intricate pattern:love
 
Whoa, awesome job!
The painted grooves almost look like gold inlay. Great color scheme too.
You've got alittle bit of flare, but that should straighten out as soon as you install the visor.
keep up the great work(y)
 
how did you get the color inlay? did you go through with a fine brush and paint it in by hand after putting the base color on?

thanks s yeah i was going for a gold inlay look.. as far as the flare if you talking about the visor area it might just be the camera angle..

Yup.. went with a fine line brush think its was 10/0 or something like that not sure right off the top of my head... and the weathering is a mix of topical and layered..
 
Wow, I bet it's satisfying to be done with, but painting all the engraving must've been a pain.
Looks great; really stands out from the crowd with all the gold engraving!

It is some what satisfying... though afterwards i realized i should probably start on a repaint of my armor to make it look better..
 
Heh, just goes to show that artists are never (or rarely) completely happy with their work, if you ask me.

heard a quote from someone (forgot who) "Art is never really finished, just abandoned "

edit: quote is from Leonardo da Vinci (“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”)
