As a way of procrastinating I decided to try out the bottle of Alclad II pale gold. Over the weekend I consolidated and organised my hobby mess. Amongst my various works in progress was a fully build and prepared Necron C'Tan Deciever.
Since the model is metal I decided to give it an undercoat with citadel chaos black to prime the model before applying a layer of Alclad gloss black. I have no clue if the primer was nesessary first. On my experimentation list is to see how well the Alclad gloss black or black primer stick to metal.
I left that in a cardboard box to dry overnight. Protecting the model from dust for a few hours is important because the gloss black is sticky for a while after spraying and the Alclad metallic paints show up any imperfections in the surface.
Next step was a light and even coat of Pale Gold following the instructions on the side of the bottle.
Here are a few pictures with different light source/angles.
The pictures don't really do it justice. Effectively one quick coat of the gold leaves an amazingly solid gold which really catches the light. It looks like gold from across the room. The next step will be to paint the cloth and details using acrylics. Then Ill seal the model with some varnish and will try out oil washes to further accentuate the gold.
