Using a custom kitbash Yndrasta is the best place to try NMM for the first time, right?

Right?

😬

Getting to the scary bit now: adding highlights for the NMM effect.

Who knows how this is gonna turn out! I’ve chosen such a complex model for a first attempt, but I’ve gone far enough that I’ll give it a good go.

As somewhat expected, I hit the wall of it looking like I've totally messed the effect up last night.

Not sure whether to push on in the hope/belief it'll all come together in the end, or start again.

Leaning towards starting fresh...

@minis Don’t be like me, do the thing that lets you come back to it rather than the thing that just forces you to avoid looking at it!
@dmcgk yep, that’s what I need to figure out. I think I’ll have another go with it before restarting.
@minis Nice one, enjoy! I thought I’d totally botched my bug lady with my colour choices, but it just needed a couple of thin glazes to bring it back. Took me three months of actively avoiding it to realise that though 😅
@dmcgk I’ve been there! I left a dragon 80% done for about a year because I couldn’t take painting the scales anymore. Eventually finished it in a couple of days of course.
@minis A success story! I just need to learn that ‘now paint the rest of the x’ bit myself 😅
