I need you to come to my house and show me how you do that!!! Amazing paint work!
Brian can you let us know where you bought your powdered printers inks as I'd like to get some.
Thanks for sharing.

Looking good Brian.Don't know how you can do more than 1 at a time.

Amazing work so far Brian, with Hindenburg, Saladin and the Highlander it will be a "summer school"
for me! Thanks for sharing!!!

Stunning work on both, Brian.....Saladin bust face is superb.

Kept these one quiet mate , both are looking great , think I will have to get the Saladin.



Cheers Davie

Great work! Very nice progress on both busts. Cann't wait to see them finished.

Both unbelievable, but that Saladin one is simply awesome.

Brilliant Brian!

Only bought it a week ago Davie.

Hi Gary
I got the powdered printers ink ( 2 types of gold and silver) from The Palette,which was a shop in the US run by Phil Kessling,which unfortunately has long been closed down.I think i've had my inks for about 20 years.I've used all kinds of printers inks,but this stuff never loses it's lustre.Mixed with Liquin and any oil colours you like,it's the dog's bollocks.
I wouldn't have a clue where you could get anything similar,but there must be someone out there that does know.I'd try printers first of all.
Brian

I wonder if they are similar to the "Rose" metallic powders. Like you Brian I have some in several shades of Gold & Silver. I have also mixed with Liquin or the oil off Humbrol metallic before stirring.

Not with the same awesome results as you though Brian.

Got my powders from a Euro show many many moons ago. Not sure if they are still available .

Saladin looks awesome ! Do you mind sharing your skin tone colors ?

Could be Peter,although i never bought any Rose metallics, it sounds like the same stuff.
