Why Start with Gold NMM?
Gold NMM is the perfect entry point — the color palette is small, the contrast rules are straightforward, and the results are instantly rewarding.
Step 1: Base Coat
Apply two thin coats of Rhinox Hide. This dark brown serves as your shadow.
Step 2: Build Layers
Mix XV-88 with Rhinox Hide (2:1) over 60%. Pure XV-88 over 40%. Balor Brown over 20%. Each layer smaller than the last.
Step 3: Final Highlights
Zamesi Desert on top edges. Dorn Yellow on the very top. White Scar dot for sparkle.
Glaze to Unify
Thin Balor Brown (6:1 water) as a glaze. This unifies the transitions.
