MattJones-made
MG_0572
After the red was applied, and then a light mist of more gold. I gave it a few washes of dark browns and greens to stain the recesses, and then briskly brushed away some of the top layers of red and gold with an acetone-wetted rag. This will only work if your gold coat is thick, your red coat is thin, and if you are daring/foolish. Came out with a nice wethered effect though, appropriate to a sea-kings arm in my opinion. (I almost went for a super heavy weathering with lots of patina and corrosion, but decided to keep it here.)
A few coats of satin clear for protection finished it off.
