He wasn't originally going to be a chrome dome you know, but I looked at the paints on the palette and thought "why not?" and here we are. With hindsight I'd probably swap the shirt and trouser colours round, rather than placing the similar colours of the chrome, shirt and badge next to each other, but when the mood takes you to paint a piece you have to go with it.
Again, I wanted to play with one idea - and here it's the NMM. Pusing myself to be more comfortable going quickly, not overthinking it, and achieving the desired effect without a whole evening of going back and forth.
The base is an old one I painted a decade ago, and part of a larger set for a very long-term project I'm slowly building. Curiously, out of 80+ models I've set aside for this, this is the first one holding a weapon.
