Dark Silver - Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl 22ml

Dark Silver is a deep gunmetal — the starting point for anything made of bare steel, iron or worn machinery. Blades, barrels, chains, tracks and battle-damaged plate all begin here, and it takes a wash exceptionally well, which is most of what makes metal look convincing. The glass agitator in the bottle keeps the metallic flake in suspension so coverage stays even from the first bottle to the last.

• + Black Wash, for instant depth on armour plate
• + Bold Titanium White, mixed in for bright edge highlights
• + Rich Gold, for trim and detailing against the steel
