Quick chrome tutorial

One evening I wanted to paint anythin so I took not finished flamethrower(which I’ve started 2 years ago and not yet finished) of cultist. The question was: what to paint? I wanted chrome!

This tutorial is for purpose to show how to paint it. Notice that line of sky and earth in SENMM(Sky-earth non metallic metal) is not straight like on this example. I’ve done this tutorial to present a simple and easy chrome ;)

Paint I have used:

·         Grey ( VMC) – I don’t know which one exactly because label is rubbed off, probably dark blue grey

·         Administratum Grey (GW)

·         White (GW)

·         Black (GW)

·         Hawk Turquise (GW)

·         Rhinox brown (GW)

1.

Base for Flamethrower was dark blue grey(VMC)

  

2.

Now I painted upper side for sky reflection with Administratum grey

Arrows show where highlights must be painted

3.

Towards the earth reflection I painted highlights with  pure white

Then I highlighted earth reflection with Adminsitratum grey

4.

Now it’s time for earth reflection. I shaded lower parts with Chaos Black but towards line where earth and sky reflection contact

5.

Now its time for lining with pure white

6.

I used glaze technique to colorize and imitate sky and earth reflections. For sky I used hawk turquoise, for earth I used rhinox hide

7.

At last I retouched all parts with pure white and added small dots for “bling bling” ;)

Here is finished product!
It took about 20 mins ;)
