    This document provides instructions for painting gold armor using a non-metallic metal (NMM) technique. It outlines 10 steps: 1) priming the figure with black primer, 2) applying a chocolate brown base coat, 3) using a red color as the gold base, 4) adding ochre for the first highlights, 5) defining planes of light, 6) continuing highlighting with light yellow, 7) marking tiny brightness points with pure yellow, 8) shading lower areas with red and sepia, 9) adding saturation with yellow ink, and 10) finishing with white points of light. The goal is to simulate a metallic look using layers of non-metallic paints.

    The artist demonstrates a technique called Non Metallic Metal (NMM) to paint gold armor on a miniature by building up layers of different colored paints to simulate highlights and shadows.

    The artist recommends applying 3 thin layers of Black Surface Primer from Vallejo 74.602 by airbrush.

    The artist demonstrates using the Non Metallic Metal (NMM) technique, which uses non-metallic paints to simulate a metallic appearance through highlighting and shadowing.

    MASTERCLASS

    Angel Giraldez
    Non Metallic Metal (NMM) is a painting technique in
    which using non-metallic paints, you simulate that so-
    mething is metallic. Painting the highlights and shadows
    in a way that appears metallic. For centuries, it was the
    only way to paint metal things. Nowadays, NMM it is a
    commonly used technique to paint fantasy miniatures.

    In this masterclass, I am showing you how to use this


    technique to paint a gold armor.

    1.
    After sanding the figure, I apply 3 thin layers of Black
    Surface Primer from Vallejo 74.602. I do it by airbrush to
    get a more homogeneous result.

    2.
    Applying thin and homogeneous layers of
    3.
    I do use Gory Red 72.011 as base color of the gold
    Chocolate Brown 70.872 to the whole ar- NMM.
    mor, will simplify the highlighting process in You can do it by brush, but an airbrush will speed
    forward steps. up the process.

    To paint pale colors, like yellow, it is advisa-


    ble using a light base color instead of black.

    1
    4.
    I add 30% of Heavy Ochre 72.150 to the
    previous color, and use it to apply the first
    highlights to the armor.

    At this step, more layers of paint should


    be applied to upper and more prominent
    parts, and less layers to lower and dee-
    pest areas.

    5.
    With an Artis Opus brush, series S, size 1,
    I mark and add definition to the planes
    of light, for this I add more Heavy Ochre
    72.150 to the previous mixture.

    2
    6.
    I add 40% of Light Yellow 70.949 and
    keep highlighting the armor.

    When painting NMM, the contrast


    between lights and shadows is the
    most important think, hence, at this
    step, lights should be smaller to get
    some extreme brightness.

    7.
    With pure Light Yellow 70.949, I continue marking the tiny brightness points, getting a
    more realistic metallic armor.

    8.
    To get more definition, I do mix
    50% Gory Red 72.011 + Sepia 72.091
    to shade lower and less prominent
    areas.

    4
    9.
    I apply heavily diluted Yellow Ink
    72.085 to midtones to add a strong sa-
    turation on the armor.

    Inks are great to achieve this effect,


    because they are gloss and saturated.

    10.
    Finally, to make metal
    more brightness, I paint
    some points of light with
    pure White 70.951.
