oops! sorry about that... (though not really!)

the gold is a real b*%!$ to paint though. mixing shining gold + mythril silver = a fate worse than death! the mythril is simply so strong that it's dead easy to over do it and then it's back to re-blending the previous highlight! (and there's 3 of 'em once the basecoat/ink wash/re-gold is done...)

this tediousness with the gold does mean however that the red is for once easier to paint and highlight, which i guess is a plus?!!

cheers!
