Surrender
I’ve had enough – I’m abandoning the gold leaf aspect of this project.
I’m still going to build the diorama, its just that the gold will either be yellow contrast, or perhaps I’ll go over it with a gold metallic paint.
I finally got the time to attempt the gold leaf today and it wasn’t working like the test model I did a few months ago. The gold leaf was sticking to areas where I was certain glue had not been applied, while refusing to adhere to the glued areas.
There is obviously a knack to applying the glue in the correct consistency and leaving it for the right amount of time to get good adhesion, and I don’t want to keep experimenting to find it out. Also I believe applying gold leaf to 32mm minis is perhaps one of the hardest applications of gold leaf I could be trying to learn the skill with.
I’ve got all the stuff now so I’ll use it here and there and build up my skills. Perhaps in time I’ll become good at using it on my models.
Gold leaf was a tough idea. You can try for NMM with a dark brown speedpaint and kick it up to a medium brown, go through a saturated and then denatured yellow to a final highlight white.
If you still want that TMM you can try your hand with the stuff Greenstuff World just put out in their chrome line. I haven’t used it but a masked off area for airbrush or a controlled brush might achieve the same result without as much hassle. Good luck.
