- To make sure our light source is the brightest thing on the model, it is given a solid base coat of Morrow White
- Mix up some Arcane Blue with Turquoise Ink and Mixing Medium. Apply this mix to all surfaces that are in direct line of sight to the lightning coil. Keep your paint thin and carefully blend the paint for a smooth transition. Once this is complete, water down this mix to wash consistency and give the coil itself a wash.
- Water down some Morrow White with Mixing Medium and highlight the coil. This is to ensure that the coil is brighter than anything else on the model
- Next, mix Arcane Blue with Menoth White Highlight and some Mixing Medium. Apply this color in line highlights on all edges that face the light source. This stage is much easier if you use the side of your brush and simply run the brush along the edge of the surface you wish to highlight. Use this color to tint the coil slightly
- Add Morrow White to the paint mixture from Step 4 and apply it to the edges of the model that are closest to the light source. Be sure to leave some of the previous layer showing so that the highlights build up gradually
