What a journey painting this 1/10 scale Young Miniatures bust of La Hire from the movie The Messenger. This was a study of Non Metallic Metal or NMM. That means painting the metal parts to represent metal without using metallic paints. I used Kirill Kanaev’s tutorial in his AK F.A.Q. Book. The tutorial started of strong but missed some important steps and how to’s. I also want to thank James Rice for his coaching and pushing me beyond my limits! I hope you enjoy the pictures of my work.
