  1. Molten Bronze Basecoat with Molten Bronze: Apply a smooth, even layer of Molten Bronze over the areas intended to be copper. Ensure full coverage for a solid foundation.
  2. Brown Ink Armor Wash Bloodstone Use Brown Ink or Armor Wash to shade the recesses and add depth. For warmer shadows, mix in a touch of Bloodstone with the wash. Apply the wash selectively to control the intensity of the shading.
  3. Brass Balls Highlight with Brass Balls: Once the shading is dry, use Brass Balls to highlight raised areas and edges. This will bring out the metallic sheen and add dimension.
  4. Quick Silver Final Highlights with Quick Silver: For the brightest points, such as sharp edges or prominent details, apply Quick Silver sparingly to enhance contrast and realism.
  5. Optional Weathering: To simulate aged copper, consider adding verdigris effects using a mix of green and turquoise paints. Apply this mix sparingly into crevices and recesses to mimic natural oxidation.
