I tried painting the bronze effect over the weekend but it came up too shiny. I didn't undercoat in black which probably doesn't help but never the less it wasn't what I was looking for. Is there any chance you could bring the Colossus with you on Thursday so I can have a good look? Plus I haven't seen the model in the flesh yet and I'd like to.

I'll try fitting it into my case for thursday, tho it is a little awkwardly sized!

My guess why it came up too bright would be that you use a white undercoat, i use black undercoat

When I undercoat with white, for example with my blood bowl team, I always hand undercoat the metal in black. Its a real pain with all the studded spikes on a human blood bowl team, but I think its worth it for the final look.

that does sound a bit of a pain! I always just undercoat everything with black, so I don't really have that issue

I normally do too, but I was painting white armour for my blood bowl team, and when painting white, you really need a white undercoat otherwise its very difficult to get a bright clean look.

even for white i usually go up from black, but then i like most of my stuff to look dirty and grimy

For white, I undercoat black, paint light grey then highlight with white. Gives it definition and looks white enough.
