Description
Unlocking the signature HKC combat-worn metallic finish developed on our workbench since 2009!
In this step-by-step masterclass, I break down the exact painting system used to achieve heavy, battle-tested Cybertronian steel on custom Transformers action figures. For this walkthrough, we put our metallic weathering process to the test on a beat-up Transformers: Age of Extinction Lockdown figure and a cast head sculpt of Dark of the Moon Megatron!
In this tutorial, you’ll learn:
- The critical Black Base Coat foundation that gives metallics true visual weight and depth.
-Strategic layering of contrasting silvers
-Controlled dry-brushing and edge-wear techniques for realistic battle damage.
-An optional extra step that truly brings out the Bayformers signature style.
