Added 2023-12-19 22:43:55 +0000 UTCThis video shows you how to paint the green, shiny gem on the chest of Fulgrim. It talks about the reflections and some of the difficulties with the shape of the piece.

Comments
I do it on space marine shoulder pads after applying decals but i think, like you said, it dulls a little. Was curious going forwards as I’ve just finished an LOTR forgeworld diorama piece “Get off the Road”… and wasn’t particularly happy with the photographs. It all looked too satin, especially on the black Nazgul rider on a very black-brown horse

It does photograph better though as it doesn't shine in the photograph. Now I just leave everything with the natural paint finish unless it leaves a particularly unwanted finish.
