NON-METALLIC METAL STEEL PAINTING GUIDE: Zondnautica

NNM Steel Painting Guide So I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to non-metallic metal painting.  However, I wanted to give it a shot on my Infinity minis and I started practicing the technique on my JSA models about three years ago (wow three years into Infinity now!).  In the past, working on GW models, I preferred to paint metallic metals, however the techniques are fairly similar. If you paint steel, you only have to replace the metallic silver paints with greys and in both techniques white and black are used as extreme highlights and shadows.  One thing I did improve upon over the past was thinking about a light source and how it hits a surface and I tend to think about this more when painting NNM metallic parts. Although I don't consider myself an expert on NNM technique, I have gained some mastery in the last three years and I decided to put together a tutorial to share my experience, largely because Oni on the CB Infinity forum asked me how to do it.  Apologies O
