Spears - Zoolander stylie!

No, not Zulu style, as in "Don't throw those bloody spears at me!" but Zoolander, as in Derek Zoolander, creator of the Blue Steel look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoolander

I thought I'd do a quick tutorial on painting blue steel. When I first thought about this blog I thought it'd be cool to put up tutorials of how we painted or modelled certain things, so we can all learn from each other. Or something...

So, here goes.

Step 1. Base Coat Boltgun Metal


Step 2 Black Ink


Step 3 Mix 2 parts Boltgun Metal to 1 part Regal Blue and apply to most parts of the spear


Step 4 mix 2 parts Chainmail to 1 part Enchanted Blue, applied to slightly less


Step 5 mix 2 parts Mithril Silver to 1 part Ice Blue, becoming more of a highlight


Step 6 mix some white into that colour, and highlight the edges


And finally, step seven, pure white, applied only to the very tips
