    The catalogue page:

    The mini:

    • Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
    • Blue: Scale75 Art Prussian Blue mixed with Kimera Carbon Black, highlighted by mixing in Kimera’s The White progressively. The same for the gun.

    • Skin: Kimera The Red, Cold Yellow, Carbon Black and The White all mixed together in varying amounts over and over again until I was less disappointed than when I started.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Hamilton 070106 2
