- Rhulic Gold Begin by applying multiple layers of Rhulic Gold as a basecoat. This layering is essential in achieving a brilliant gold, as any patchiness in the basecoat will be visible and cause the metal to appear tarnished and worn.
- Sanguine Brown Ink Mix Sanguine Base and Brown Ink with a single drop of mixing medium and thin this with water to create a wash. Apply this for the first stage of shading.
- Exile Blue Umbral Umber Next add Exile Blue and Umbral Umberto the previous mixture and apply a second layer of shadows to the area.
- Solid Gold Use Solid Gold for the first-stage highlights. It is important to leave any rings of shadow accumulated around rivets and bolts intact when highlighting.
- Radiant Platinum Solid Gold Apply a mix of Radiant Platinum and Solid Gold for the final, glinting highlights.
