Hi everyone.
This was actually intended as a practice run for the chipping agent, but it didn't turn out well. So jumping ahead here this is how it turns out. See that little bit of silver near the handle, and the little scratch mark near the top, that's the Chipping medium in action. This time around I applied too little so the effect isn't too apparent...
Yellow had always been hard for me, but I think this one turns out okay. The base was painted with thinned Citadel Foundation mustard yellow, then high-light with a lighter yellow. Shadow and recess area wasn't too painted as it was taken care of with air brush". I did a zenith 'black' and white base coat with air brush. That saved me a lot of time.

I used a lot of the P3 formula medium for thinning. Mixed with equal part of water it works very well and better than purely working with water. With pure water the tiny pigments of the paint would sometimes got spread out to the edges and forms paint 'rings'. With this medium the pigment is less spread out and therefore offering much easier thinning.
